Claysaba Excellent, Without a doubt!!

Suman Roberson It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.

Verity Robins Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

Jonah Abbott There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

Michael_Elliott Disco Godfather (1979) * (out of 4) Tucker Williams (Rudy Ray Moore) was a former cop who now works as the Blueberry Hill club where he is known as the Disco Godfather. Life is great until one day his nephew comes into the club strung out on Angel Dust. Williams decides to start his own investigation into who is making it and he will stop at nothing to bring them down.DISCO GODFATHER was the fourth and final film from Rudy Ray Moore in the 1970s. If you've seen his four movies then you know they're all rather wild and over-the-top but there's no question that this here is the worst. Even the actor admitted that this pretty much killed his career and it really didn't help that they tried to take his R-rated material and push it down to a PG, which is what this film did.I'm really not sure why they decided to change things up so much here but it really doesn't work because we're missing out on those classic Rudy Ray Moore jokes. Some of the best parts of films like DOLEMITE and THE HUMAN TORNADO were the actor just playing a comic and going off cracking jokes. What does work here is Moore's performance, which is actually pretty good since he plays everything rather straight. This here is basically a drama about the abuse of drugs in the black community and it certainly beats the viewer over the head with its message.The problem is that the film is downright boring throughout. The direction is pretty bad, most of the supporting performances are really bad and there's just nothing here that scream out being good. The only thing that really saves this from becoming a complete BOMB was the performance by Moore plus some really strange and bizarre horror elements dealing with the Angel Dust. There are several scenes here where we see what a bad trip is like and we're given these bizarre sequences with voodoo plus a mixture of a zombie or vampire type creature. These trips scenes are a real hoot and almost make the film worth sitting through.

Tony Schlongini "He's the Godfather of the disco," the words of the tune that keep playing in this film. There is funky disco, butt kicking awesome action. Rudy Ray Moore is truly one of the great poets of the 20th century, as well as a great actor. This film should be shown in schools around the world. It is full of laughter, shocks, and intense fine acting. Its strong anti PCP message is truly a winner. The supporting cast is great too. I like this film better than "Dolemite," I have seen this movie at least 10 times over the years, and love the disco dancing scenes, the are wonderfully choreographed, and well acted. A **** feast for the eyes. Don't miss it.

betelguese_1 In college, my friends and I would have "Bad Movie Night" once a week with the goal of finding the worst movie possible and watching it over beer, chips, and popcorn. While there were good challenges from Dr. Tarr's Torture Dungeon, Cycle Vixens, and Cheerleaders Wild Weekend, Avenging Disco Godfather was so bad, it was actually good. Well, in a bad sort of way. Too serious to be a parody and too ridiculous to be a morality play, AVD was putrid throughout. The 10-minute acid trip scene would only be interesting if you were actually on acid...and then only maybe.

batzu this is hands down the funniest rudy ray moore movie! the only draw back is the sound quality, which i had hoped would be improved with the dvd release but is not-i thought my t.v. was broke when i first saw it! this movie has the best(worst) lines, best(worst) fight choreography, and the best(you know) plot. i forgot to say the best acting, but you can only imagine. the story is funny in a way no story about drug addiction could ever be. the scenes at the hospital with the people freaked out on angel dust are great, (SPOILER) especially the girl cooking her baby thinking it's the x-mas ham! priceless. i still pull this one out from time to time and laugh my ass off! i have got to say that the disco g.f.'s fighting is also one of the greatest things ever put on film. buy this one, it's cheap, and watch it a thousand times.
