Featured review
Ron O'Neal directed himself in a pretty good sequel called Super Fly T.N.T.
After becoming a star with Super Fly, actor Ron O'Neal decided to co-write and direct the sequel. Actually, he helped think of the story with the resulting screenplay by noted author Alex Haley. Perhaps because of the criticism of the glamorizing of drug life in the previous one, O'Neal's Priest character is totally out of the business (though that was his intent from that first film) but gets roped into a more, perhaps, worthy one in dealing with guns for a country that wants independence. Also, instead of taking place in NY City, the setting is now in Rome where he and his girlfriend, Georgia (Sheila Frazier), from the first one have settled. I'll just say while I found the movie quite dramatic concerning Mustafa (instead of Youngblood) Priest's trials near the end, I can understand why many fans of the first one weren't so enthralled. It's certainly a different flavor, that's for sure! I'm also entertained by the score by Osibisa and the fact that both Robert Guillaume and Roscoe Lee Browne, who subsequently played butler Benson and his replacement Saunders, respectively, on the hit comedy series "Soap", were also in this movie though not together. Guillaume, by the way, shows his singing talents when he does "O Sole Mio" in a restaurant scene, here.
