Another great video from UA-cam’s most underrated creator!
Definitely he let you know in detail what went on behind the scenes and paints a wonderful picture of it.
Hear, Hear! I second that.
Binge watching for weeks now
PlayGlow Agreed!
Word
Ha! People couldn't believe that black people wanted to see movies about black people! You Sir, are the very best on the internet!
Thank you Good Bad Flicks for posting on my birthday.
Bless up, I'll blaze one.
@Joseph Wilson thank you!
Absolutely love "blaxploitation" genre. I wish it didn't have a negative connotation. There is a whole treasure trove of very excellent movies here. On par with dirty harry and death wish.
Chance Paladin agreed! All the PC idiots out there that look down on Blaxploitation cinema can kiss my ass, cause I'm a huge fan & supporter of these films & their historical importance.
@Hey Zeus I still don't get the hypocrisy of white male critics bitching about these films but just LOVE that Stepin Fetchit garbage
👍Black Caesar, The Mack, The Harder They Come....
Awesome movie, awesome car, awesome soundtrack!!
My dad’s nickname was Fly because back in the 70’s, he had straightened hair and drove a Cadillac that looked like that badass car in the movie.
Thanks for covering one of my favorite movies.
...and for taking it seriously. Another reason why I love this channel.
:)
Curtis Mayfield is critically underrated. One of the true Greats.
Absolutely 👍
In my brief tenure as a film blogger, one listicle I wrote was the 10 best 70s soundtracks. This was probably my first pick, along with "The Harder They Come" for how much influence they had on music, in general. This movie, along with Scarface, and Blow, were my college roommate's "going out and getting messed up on drugs" movies we'd put on at the start of the night.
We were both too ignorant to notice how these movies end... until we wised up. I cannot speak the same for everyone I've known.
It's always glamorous (until it's not.)
Man this channel is the business! Greetings from Kenya 🇰🇪
This was an Amazing video of a classic. I'm curious to wonder you're going to do an Exploring video on The Wiz. 😏
Yes, please Cecil, I would LOVE to see an exploring video of The Wiz. The Wiz is a cult classic, that doesn't get the props it deserves! It actually has a decent fanbase.
Sometimes, a movie like this shows the real life than most of any reality tv of today.
It's such a good soundtrack
I didn't know Curtis Mayfield became a quadriplegic! That's too bad, loved that era/genre in music.
Movies like this are what I point to when someone brings up Marvel's black panther.
My only regret is that I have but one "like" to give for this. A-freaking-mazing. I can't imagine the leg work to put all of this together took. Much respect.
Thanks!
@@GoodBadFlicks I like your dedication to this particular video.
One of my all time favorite movies, and movie soundtracks
This isn't an exploration video Cecil, this is a video essay about the movie, well done my friend!!!
this is what I´m talking about, you can feel the pasion all over the video; Thanks Cecil.
Excellent !!! Well done. I saw this on the big screen back in the 70's.
Every week I forget that you upload on Mondays and it always makes my day.
The 1970s are where the best of gritty, violent, in your face movies are from. Keep on keeping on man
Instant thumbs up every damn video !
Hell, I even turn off my ad-blocker when he drops a new one!
I can dig it...
Perfect timing GBFs, right on my break.
This poster was on my Bathroom wall
For some reason our bathroom had posters of bodybuilders on the walls. A couple of em were black even. My dad wasn't a bodybuilder.
@Houdini Or maybe it was my mom, flicking her bean?
The upcoming Shaft movie is supposed to be a Sequel to the 2001 film, making it similar to Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.
Another movie to add to my watch list. Great video as always!
UA-cam owes you a debt of gratitude. Original and educational. Can you dig it?
Smartest move the filmmakers did was contacting Curtis Mayfield to write the score. Best soundtrack ever!
"What did i tell you about interrupting my Kung Fu?"
One of the best films I ever studied. You have clearly done your homework here.
If movie tickets cost $1.70 today I'd certainly be seeing more movies. I hope you cover more Blaxploitation films like Coffy and Black Cesear.
IKR? Today they're like $15 bucks or something. No thank you.
I remember in my city you could drive almost to the other side in order to go to The Birdcage which was a discount theater (in name only as there was nothing too "discount" about it). I think the tickets were 5 bucks versus 12 at the time, since long demolished though.
@@dsandoval9396 $11.25 at my local theater.
@@Madbandit77 RIGHT NOW!?
Holy crap! Last I remember here in my shitty city it was $12 (maybe +change) and that was about 10 years ago!
The equivalent of 16 dollars here in Sweden. Often they force you into the 3d bullshit, so you have to pay more. And they wonder why people pirate. Also considering that something like 50% of the total budget goes to dumb shit like marketing😕. Smh. You can bet that the Indians or Chinese don't pay those prices. I get a couple of free tickets per year and that's enough for me, save em for movies that actually deserve to be seen in theaters. Can't remember the last time I bought a ticket.
But it's kinda like college in the US. It was (relatively) dirt cheap back in the day, but is ridiculous now. Bottom line is that they can charge us insane prices because we continue to pay, even if it means going into debt for our entire lives.
@hkistreet Adjusting for inflation doesn't tell the whole story with regards to purchasing power though.
Aw, hails yeah!
This upload is on point!
Great movie! Shiela Frazier (Georgia) wore her own furs for her part.
Lots of great facts and such a positive outlook on this movie. Classic.
I think that's the best one you've done yet
Awesome work! Have you considered covering The Warriors?
Thank you. My father always told me this was a great movie. I'm glad you helped show/explain that.
A lot of people in the past have mistaken Superfly to be some hammy 70's movie but it's a real film. The lead is relatable/down to earth and the core theme in the movie (breaking free/overcoming) is timeless. Plus the music is a character in the film, there's long takes where they simply let Mayfield's song play out. No question though it has that 70's funk to it, really a time capsule of New York in the early 70's similar to Mean Streets.
"Mondays suck. But if GoodBadFlicks uploads, it's just our luck!" :)
That jump over the fence tho
BRAVO! Well done and thought out. I came across this movie and passed it by as old and lame. Well I have to admit, I'm rethinking it now. Time for a movie night. Thanks man!
Bravo!!!! … Love your channel!....I love revisiting these good bad flicks without having to sit thru them again...
There are also some blaxsploitation horror movies like Blackenstein and Blackula.
One of my favorite films of all time. It's so damn good. I appreciate you covering it sir.
Thank you sir for another fine video, I truly appreciate it. I love this channel.
Great video! I like that you touched on the soundtrack, the Super Fly soundtrack is awesome. Most Blacksploitation movies have soundtracks that are better than the movies themselves. The Mack is another good one.
Another fantastic and informative video. Great job- much appreciated
Outstanding review and exploration of a complex genre. You captured it all. Thanks, again.
Thank you!
this recap was fly
I’m glad you mentioned Black Dynamite! That film was hilarious and such a love letter to the genre. If you like old school blaxploitation, check it out!
Bravo! One of your best vidoes ever!
Good vid. Can you do Truck Turner, Dolemite, Coffee too . Other dope blaxpoitation films
Throw in the Black Cobra trilogy, Three the Hard Way and any film starring Fred Williamson, Jim Brown, Jim Kelly, Pam Grier and so on.
How about Abby? Or The Mack.
Great info! Always appreciate your research.
As always thank you an incredible amount! I can show your review to my ignorant friends as a means of solidifying what I have been trying to tell them about these movies for a looong time! Spot on my friend!
You are vert welcome :)
We love these!
A great video as usual, well researched, well edited, and it even had an 'In memoriam' like the Oscars... And I though I knew movies... Thanx!!!!
EXCELLENT as always.....one of my fave all time movies and soundtracks, with SATURDAY NIGHT FEVER (another gritty street movie with ANOTHER great soundtrack) only being it's equal.....thank you as always for giving somewhat forgotten movies the respect they deserve.
Fantastic review - one of the best yet!
Super Fly was a good movie, and had a great soundtrack!
I think I will have to watch this movie now. Tks.
I did not see this coming. Great exploring video.
The Superfly remake was set in Atlanta, Georgia by the way.
Would love to see 2 other movies explored: Dog: Way of the Samurai, and Way of the Gun.
I really love watching and appreciate your exploring series. Can't get enough (Even when I probably should be getting back to work!)
Thanks!
Great video!! Can't wait to see the next one!! ❤
You continue to kick ass! Thanks for the knowledge.
Shep
Excellent job on this! Your channel is so awesome.
Please do more blaxploitation! This is probably one of my favorite movies and you picked my favorite part of the movie for the outro. "White killers!"
awesome video as always! keer the great work sir!
I always knew you had soul 😎
Awesome birthday present! Love your videos!
holy moly ur subs have gone up so much. ive been here for forever. i thought you still had like 2000 subs. good job man
Fantastic commentary.... again!
“WHAT THE HELL DID YOU EXPECT?! You screened this for a bunch of white bread!” 😂
Oh hell yes! My favorite movie!
Thanks for video and all your hard work
would love it if you did more blaxsploitation!
Great video dude. Love the channel.
Great video. I have watched nearly all of your videos but I just caught this one. I’ll tell you I thought I was the patron saint of unloved movies but you got me beat dude. It’s good to see somebody on this damn platform Saying something positive. You are one cool white dude!👍
Fuckin CLASSIC!! The soundtrack is iconic too.
Dope videos! I'm a independent filmmaker and your videos motivates me to the highest!
You always do such a great job with the homework on these films. Please, please, please do an exploring episode on the 1984 movie "Runaway."
Fun fact
My dad was one if the musicians on the shaft soundtrack
Excellent review! 👍
Thanks!
Nice choice to look back on. Even learned a few things I didn't know before.
A Very well done job Cecil!
I was expecting this to be a sequel to The Fly where Seth Brundle gets cloned and becomes a super hero
Interesting concept... But I really don't see Brundlefly as a "hero".
@@iwrestledabear1s The cloning technology would do a better job of mixing the fly and human DNA, kinda like the Ripley clone in Alien Resurrection. And Hank Pym wasn't always a superhero. The same could happen to Brundle.
I mean that is pretty much The Fly 2.
Here you go.

Superfly and The Mack are two of the best blacksploitation films. Dolemite was highly entertaining as well. Please review The Mack!
great work man
Another great review, Cecil, my friend! Would you ever consider doing any of the Blaxploitation horror films, like Blacula, or Sugar Hill, or Abby?
Such a good movie. I gotta go rewatch it now cause of this supafly review.
Great job!!
If you haven't seen it, there was a movie that came out in the late '90's called "Original Gangsta's" that teamed Oneal up with Jim Brown, Richard Roundtree, and Pam Grier, pre-"Expendables" style!!!!
Awesome video thanks man
Love everything you do, please, please, please do "Munchies" (1987) next... Another Corman classic....
A blackplotation movie for a rising hungry demographic opposed by a moral organization of colored people. Go figure.
Hey Cecil every new exploring episode is so deep, man. One can feel the love and passion you have for film making in each word. You need triple the subs you got dude. You are a criminally underrated channel. I wish you the best! ✌
excellent work
Another great job
Wow!! I watched this on TCM underground, 2 years ago. Why did they have to remake this movie!?
They are also remaking Shaft.
@@Jekyll_Jackal shaft isn't getting remade it's another sequel.
@@bigkmoviesandgames they already remade shaft
@@PeachFlavoredKaiju no they didn't they made a continuation with shafts nephew and shaft was in it. The new one has shaft, his nephew, and his nephew's son its never been remade just continued with shaft and his family memebers.
@@bigkmoviesandgames sorry I mistaked it for the remake of superfly which looked horrible
Hey Cecil! Would you do videos on Blacula and Scream Blacula Scream? Feel like they're pretty important for Blaxploitation and the horror genre in general.
