Not-so-subtle allusion to the image of countless lawn ornaments. Sonko first meets him at Priest's weekly high-stakes poker game with other wealthy Europeans, then again after a riding lesson with Priest garbed in a jockey outfit-a He's still dressing in pimp finery and snorting from his crucifix coke-spoon, but is now suffering an identity crisis. Juxtaposed with this, Priest is cruising in his Lamborghini past Roman landmarks. Harlem, we see a convoy of trucks crossing the African plains (the cast list includes 'Elements of the Senegalese Armed Forces') ambushed by white troops, the freedom-fighters are slaughtered, their weapons seized. It begins with images as remote from the prequel as possible rather than the gritty streets of In changing the milieu from the inner city and expanding Priest's goals from personal gain and escape to a crusade for the greater good, the film jettisons everything that made SUPERFLY so entertaining. There he is captured by the white rulers and tortured, but manages to escape and return to freedom. But after visiting the country, he changes his mind and arranges to fly the weapons to a remote African landing strip. Lamine Sonko (Roscoe Lee Browne), emissary from a small African country, to smuggle some guns into the beleaguered nation in exchange for rawĭiamonds, Priest refuses.

Youngblood Priest (Ron O'Neal) is living a carefree yet restless life in Rome with his girlfriend Georgia (Sheila Frazier). This sequel, the filmmakers' attempt to address that criticism, is, at best, a noble failure. The original SUPERFLY (1972) was excoriated in certain circles as the glamorization of a conscienceless huckster.
