The last of Rudy Ray Moore's 70s features, DISCO GODFATHER is easily the strangest and most original of his filmic output. Combining his trademark Kung-fu action with social commentary and hallucinogenic nightmare sequences which evoke the surreal weirdness of Coffin Joe, DISCO GODFATHER is an unforgettable cinematic finale from one of the greatest names in Blaxploitation film history.

An Amazing PCP-fueled Epic! Attack the Wack!!!
'The Avenging Disco Godfather' is actually a rather amazing film. The first time you watch it, you will find yourself transfixed and mesmerized, but unsure as to why. There are a number of reasons for this...The lighting in this film is so completely inept and perplexing that it will blow your mind. I truly believe that all of the budget that was initially set aside for lighting was spent on PCP. This entire film appears to be lit with disco lights. There are some scenes that are so dark, all you can see is teeth. Occasionally people wander towards the back of the frame and disappear. You really have to see it to appreciate the amazingness, words cannot convey...The Doctor. If your Doctor looks like this, you are in trouble. First off, he looks like a PCP dealer. The man is always wearing sunglasses. The scene in which he is in the SUPER dark hospital room with Bucky, he has his shades on. There is no logical reason for a man (let alone a doctor) to where sunglasses in a pitch black room. And further more, what possible reason would there be for keeping a hospital room as black as midnight? I think the main reason for this, is that everyone was on PCP, making things appear much brighter than they actually were...The PCP Factory. The PCP factory that is apparently supplying most the world with PCP is a small room in an abandoned warehouse with no laboratory equipment. Sweetmeat (the head PCP distributor) rolls into his 'factory' and demands that 1500 gallons of PCP be produced. Huh? A lab of this size would have trouble producing an ounce of PCP in an afternoon. 1500 gallons? hahaha. Not only that, they were also supposed to dip 10,000 cigarettes in the PCP at the lab. That is 19 liquid ounces of PCP per cigarette!!! Wow!The Disco Godfather himself. Rudy Ray Moore is an incredible actor, with an even more incredible sense of fashion. Put your weight on it!!! His gift for delivering dialogue, being a pimp, a superStar DJ, and blowing a bunch of nose candy off of a Saturday Night Fever Album cannot be topped. In addition, his Kung-Fu stylings are not of this Earth...The incredible PCP freak-outs. These are truly the work of a cinematic visionary. These scenes take you deep inside the mind of an individual in the midst of a deranged PCP freak-out. Very believable...The amazing ending of this film can truly not be described. I love how The Disco Godfather is captured, forced to wear a gas mask, and gassed with PCP. Following this, he has an amazing sequence of visions involving PCP archetypes, and his mother. Things then proceed to abruptly end. I think they must of run out of film...The dialogue. The mistake-filled press conference is a sight to behold. Try and count the mistakes, I dare you. Attack the Wack!!!There are so many more examples of ineptitude and confusion that I could probably write a book if I were so inclined. However, duty calls and I must go out and Attack the Wack. Put your Weight on it!!!

it's terrible
but it's a rudy ray moore movie. what are you expecting? not a sequel to dolomite. it's a long anti-drug message. my review is based on what it is. if you know this man and his style, it's maybe a 3.5. it may be the worst of his 70s movies. as bad as it is, i am giving some credit to the talented performers.

It's Rudy Ray Moore. What do you want?
It's PG Rudy Ray Moore, so don't expect dialogue like in Dolemite. Just expect to be entertained. If you are a fan of films of this period, you will have a good time.

Godfather of the disco!
I liked this movie, the lead actor was funny and his expression was cracking me up. I like the older movies. This is about some real-life things that plague the community. I can easily watch this again and again. Very hip and stylish.

How could I not love this movie?
I have a special place in my heart for the Disco Godfather. Rudy Ray Moore is a trip. This movie is entertaining and utterly hilarious, but you've gotta like B movies/grindhouse/blaxploitation to really enjoy it. It's pretty cheesy, and there are really long scenes just of disco dancing. DVD itself was new in case/sealed/official (not pirated).

Put your weight on it!!
Rudy Ray Moore es un caso muy interesante, su influencia en la cultura afroamericana es enorme, pero su reconocimiento es nulo, Disco Godfather no es una buena película en el sentido estricto de la frase, pero es increíblemente divertida y el carisma de Moore es innegable, lástima que haya sido tan menospreciado.Ojo, los títulos de Vinegar Syndrome no cuentan con subtítulos al español, algo a tomar en cuenta para los que no hablan el idioma.
