dworldeater Although this film I'm sure was not considered for any awards or anything, I still enjoy watching it every once in a while. Rudy Ray Moore is Tucker an ex cop, now club owner, Dj and is known of course as The Disco Godfather. His favorite nephew(Bucky) an awesome basketball player and possible NBA prospect gets messed up on Angel Dust. This enrages The Godfather Of The Disco and he focuses all his energy on raising awareness in the community and takes it to the streets and starts knocking heads. Disco Godfather is not in the same class as classics like Dolemite and Petey Wheatstraw, but Rudy and company still deliver the goods in this very funky, very low budget blaxsploitation feature. As a huge fan of outrageous stuff like this and of course Rudy Ray Moore, I enjoy and appreciate this film for what it is. Disco Godfather is simply good entertainment in its purest form. Yes, the production value sucks, the acting is terrible and Rudy's fighting skills are even worst. Its all good though because it is fun to watch. What Rudy lacks in acting and fighting skills, he more than makes up for with his unique ultra cool persona and great screen presence. Plus to boot the film has a very strong and positive anti drug message. Thumbs up, I can dig it!

daviddaveinternational This one should qualify for "Worst Movie Ever Made". Move over "Heaven Can Wait". I mean, it's so bad, you can't seem to turn it off just to see if it gets any worse, which it does. The acting is best described as "forced" and "painful". The action scenes were just plain bad. People slapping people without very obvious contact...I mean, hands one foot away from the face, body kicks the same, etc. The trippy drug freakout scenes were awesome, I do have to admit. This movie would have been better off as a "comedy" with a laugh track added. I was thinking during the drug freakout scenes where demons and skulls pop onto the screen for a second or two, it would have been aisle-rolling hilarious to have an image of Fred Sanford and Aunt Ester's faces pop up too. If you want to lose an hour and a half of your life for nothing, by all means watch this movie. It's more comedy than anything although that's not what it was intended to be.

ptb-8 45 minutes of stupefying disco awfulness followed by 45 minutes of brain busting psycho angel dust drama = 90 mins of DISCO GODFATHER. Here I was gleefully looking forward to an epic of THE APPLE proportions and what did ah git? Angel Dust baby! Angel dust on da disco floo-wah. Call me an am boo lance....... Rudy Ray Moore certainly is a one of a kind..and I struggled to get me thru the final sequence of hallucinatory kung fu warehouse fights and dungeon ghastliness because I never have seen a film lose it's way so completely. DISCO GODFATHER needed to stay firmly on the roller disco floor with all the other dancing wannabees and leave the drug lecture outside with Bucky, the 7ft he-man nephew. Rudy Ray Moore is terrific as the caring sharing flab-man in blue silk jump suit and silver shoes of the title... and the music for the most part is great, but oh dear, once the action leaves the dance floor, this dancing dictating Godfather becomes a religious revival meeting bore. Watch the first half only. Stop after the roller disco dude in his underpants does his spin thing.

jfurdell Must be the worst film ever made. Certainly the worst "blaxploitation" film, it tried to steal from every popular '70s genre it could... kung-fu, the drug-revenge flick, disco dancing. And it failed, failed, failed. The best scene:[Disco Godfather is kung-fu fighting a bunch of thugs as a Random Jogger, dressed in powder blue jogging suit and with a towel around his neck, jogs by.]RJ: Hey man, you need some help?DG: This is an angel dust factory!RJ: ANGEL DUST?![Random jogger whips off the towel from around his neck and assumes a fighting pose.]RJ: Let's kick some ass then.
