Disco Godfather is a 1979 Blaxploitation film, starring Rudy Ray Moore as Tucker Williams, a former cop, dancing and martial arts "expert", turned crazily popular Disco DJ and club owner. When his nephew, a promising basketball talent named Bucky gets "whacked out" on PCP, Tucker decides to go after the PCP dealer himself and administer some street justice, Disco-style.As usual, when dealing with Rudy Ray Moore, badly choreographed fights and Narm Charm ensues. | |

The Un-Reveal: After talking to his old police buddies about his situation, one of them says that only three things can get Tucker mad. One of them is messing with his family... and we never get to hear the others. | |

| Disco Godfather / int_4e3d253b | comment |
Downer Ending: Tucker not only fails to stop the bad guy, he gets "whacked out" himself. The only possible light spot is that Bucky seems to be doing better. | |

Remember the New Guy? | |
| Disco Godfather / int_77b03c0a | comment |
Remember the New Guy?: During the final fight scene at Stinger's warehouse, a random guy in a blue tracksuit shows up to help Tucker battle the drug dealers. The character (played by Howard Jackson) is referred to a "Special Karate Fighter" in the credits, and it's never really explained where he came from. In real life, Howard Jackson was Rudy Ray Moore's martial arts instructor. | |

Demonic Possession | |
| Disco Godfather / int_906365a2 | comment |
Demonic Possession: For some reason, the movie portrays PCP addiction as if it is Demonic Possession complete with a doctor saying the PCP is beyond the understanding of medical modern science and a priest performing an exorcism on a PCP victim. | |

Mushroom Samba: The PCP trips are treated more like a case of demonic possession. The "treatment" doesn't seem to consist of anything more than a priest reading a sermon! | |
