Detailed Bias Analysis

Analyzing...
Progressive

Primary

The film critiques systemic issues like police corruption and the lack of legitimate opportunities for Black men, aligning with progressive concerns, but champions an individualistic escape from the system rather than collective or systemic reform.

The movie features an almost entirely Black cast in leading roles, representing a significant departure from mainstream cinema of its era. Its narrative explicitly critiques systemic oppression, often personified by corrupt white authority figures, and centers on the struggles of a Black protagonist against this system.

Secondary

Super Fly does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The narrative centers on a cocaine dealer's attempt to exit the drug trade, focusing on themes of crime, survival, and urban life in the early 1970s, without engaging with queer identity or experiences.

Super Fly does not feature any identifiable transsexual characters or themes. The film's narrative is centered on the blaxploitation genre, focusing on a drug dealer's attempt to retire from the business, with no elements related to transgender identity or experiences.

The film features female characters in supporting roles, primarily Georgia and Cynthia. However, none of these characters are depicted engaging in or winning close-quarters physical combat against male opponents.

Super Fly (1972) is an original film and not an adaptation of pre-existing material with established characters, nor does it feature historical figures. Therefore, no characters were gender-swapped from a prior canonical or historical representation.
