Synopsis
Super Fly (1972) is the cult crime thriller you can watch online on iFILM. Gordon Parks Jr. directs Ron O'Neal as Priest, a Harlem cocaine dealer with one goal left: move thirty kilos, pocket a million, and quit the game for good.
Nobody walks away clean, though. Priest and his partner Eddie hustle product across the city while a small-time dealer flips and hands the cops a way in. Cops lean on him from one side, the suppliers who profit off him lean from the other, and the woman he loves (Sheila Frazier) is the whole reason he wants out. Every move tightens the noose.
This is one of the defining films of the blaxploitation wave — shot on real Harlem corners for next to nothing, with an antihero who refused to apologize for anything. Its real legend, though, is Curtis Mayfield's soundtrack, which outgrew the movie and became a classic of its own. Stream Super Fly (1972) online on iFILM.
