Super Fly T.N.T. is a 1973 American blaxploitation crime drama film directed by and starring Ron O'Neal. O'Neal reprises his role of Youngblood Priest from the 1972 film Super Fly. The film was both a critical and commercial failure according to some critics.[clarification needed]

The film was released on VHS in 1993, but it has not been released on DVD or Blu-ray. It was shot in Rome, Italy and other locations such as Senegal.[3] A sequel, The Return of Superfly, was released in 1990, with Nathan Purdee as Priest.
