It's a shame, because Priest was one of the best characters to come out of the blaxploitation wave. O'Neal may not have been the best director, but there wasn't much to direct. Yep, we're laying this failure at literary icon Alex Haley's feet. While O'Neal's direction isn't scintillating, the main problem is that the script was written by someone who understood history, politics, and anthropology perfectly, but didn't have a firm grasp of cinematic pace and action. Eventually he's asked to help the struggling African nation of Umbria stockpile guns for a revolution and decides this could be his higher cause. That's what makes them different.”īut Priest is directionless. His novelist pal tells him, while the two are strolling in the city center, “These people are all walking around living right here in the middle of thousands of years of history. And living there has given him some perspective. He eats in nice restaurants and nobody throws him attitude. But in Rome he has friends from all walks of life. There's too much invested in the status quo of racism. as a whole is a place he understands will never change. he's living in Rome off the proceeds of his big score, and the ghetto is just a bad memory. Lamine Sonko as Percy Georgia as Emily Jordan Gaines as Toby Matty Smith as James Lefebre as Duck Daggett as Edward George as Sir Topham Hatt Lisa as Rosie Thomas. Through this method, he was able to pin Mikitaka Hazekura to a beam by hammering in screws, which were then repelled back out and into Mikitaka, or make scratches on the structure which fired back toward Josuke and hit him after several rebounds.In Super Fly the character of Priest wanted out of the drug business. (1973)/Thomas is a parody with Thomas sounds and Super Fly T.N.T. Toyohiro takes advantage of this ability offensively: by damaging the tower at specific angles, he can direct the repelled force toward an enemy as a ricocheted attack. įurthermore, if the energy blasts hit the tower itself, they simply rebound against it until it hits someone or the energy escapes. Additionally, any foreign object inserted inside the tower is also violently ejected. A Stand's punch can be reflected in the form of a metal copy of the Stand bursting out of the damaged zone and retaliating against the aggressor, but generally, the damage is reflected in the form of energy blasts. If attacked anywhere, be it one of the pillars or even one of the cables connected to it, the tower absorbs the energy of the aggression and redirects it back to the direction it came from. To protect itself, Super Fly absorbs and reflects any damage done to its structure and back at the attacker. Super Fly reflects the damage done by Josuke and Okuyasu It is possible the victim could be perpetually covered if they do not pull themselves back in time and Toyohiro claims that any would-be escapee will be absorbed into the tower. If the victim attempts to escape it, they will be covered in steel to restrict their movements. Leaving the tower only requires not standing inside the structure, thus Toyohiro could hang on the side of Super Fly while Josuke was trapped.

If that happens, the first of the two to exit the tower is free to leave while the other one must stay inside. Toyohiro is the first prisoner of the tower and cannot leave until someone else steps in it. It is mentioned that the energy of the sole prisoner is how it sustains itself. Super Fly's defining ability is that it imprisons one occupant inside it.

Would-be escapee becoming part of the tower.

Its power of damage reflection means that it is powerful and invulnerable, but anyone is free to exploit the pylon when fighting inside it. Super Fly is an automatic Stand that imprisons its user, Toyohiro, inside it, making it a nuisance. Toyohiro noted that even if he died, the Stand would continue to exist, similar to Notorious B.I.G or Anubis. Super Fly is completely autonomous, since its user doesn't have any control over it. Super Fly is a Stand automatically bound to a huge electrical pylon, so it can be viewed by non-Stand users.
