Disco Godfather

Tucker Williams, Rudy Ray Moore, dominates the late-1970s dance floor as the charismatic “Disco Godfather,” firing up Blueberry Hill with flashy, chest-exposing outfits while spinning records and guiding a wave of neon-lit energy through the club.

In the audience stands his nephew Bucky, Julius Carry, a rising basketball star who ignores his girlfriend’s pleas and slips outside to score angel dust. His girlfriend rushes back inside, screaming that Bucky has taken drugs, and Tucker watches as a troubling truth unfolds.

Bucky staggers back inside, overwhelmed by hallucinations that make clients and demons seem to close in around him. He’s rushed to the hospital under the care of Dr. Fred Mathis, Jerry Jones, where Tucker also pays a visit. The hospital wing is crowded with PCP victims, including a young woman cradling a doll who recounts a horrific memory of believing she fed her own baby during the holidays.

Determined to eradicate the PCP menace, Tucker heads to the police precinct where he once served as a officer and is greeted by cop Kilroy, Debbie Fisher and Lt. Frank Hayes, Frank Finn, who promise their support for his anti-drug crusade. The mastermind behind the epidemic reveals himself as Stinger Ray, a sharp-eyed businessman who dreams of owning a basketball team yet peddles PCP, including “sherms” (marijuana joints dipped in PCP). Stinger puts a hit on Tucker, but paradoxically orders his own hitmen to stay alive so Tucker can be dealt with on his terms.

After a dazzling disco-dance and skating showcase at Blueberry Hill, two hitmen strike at Tucker, only to be met by Stinger’s other two hitmen, who pose as cops, shoot the assailants, and slip away into the night. The plan to intimidate and disrupt grows louder as community activists rally in support, launching a massive “Attack the Wack” movement against PCP. Tucker and his allies begin an intimidation campaign, targeting dealers and sending a clear message that the city will no longer tolerate the scourge.

Tucker’s crew infiltrates a party run by pimps and prostitutes, coercing the party-goers to pledge alertness to any PCP activity. A friend uncovers a Saturday Night Fever album cover topped with cocaine, and Tucker scatters the powder, sending the room into a frenzy as attendees drop to snort it. A raid on a PCP den yields no drugs, prompting Tucker to suspect a mole within the police.

A calculated ruse with Lt. Hayes exposes Kilroy as the mole; Hayes asks Kilroy for his gun and badge. Kilroy’s wife discovers his lifeless, wrist-slitted body in the bathtub, a shocking turn that deepens Tucker’s vendetta against the PCP network.

Casualties mount as Tucker’s elderly confidant Bob, a Black history expert, is murdered by PCP thugs. A thorough interrogation of a drug seller unveils Stinger as the mastermind pulling the strings behind the scenes. In a fierce moment, Tucker is briefly abducted by a cowboy-hippie thug, only to flip the tables by yanking the attacker into a wall with a decisive move.

Decisive action leads Tucker and a trusted ally to Stinger’s building, where a brutal kung-fu showdown unfolds against a line of henchmen, culminating in a towering bald bruiser who previously installed a phone tap for Tucker. Tucker drives forward, sinking his thumbs into the bruiser’s eyes and retreating with blood staining his hands.

The fight grows even more brutal as Tucker faces an even tougher, maniacally snarling fighter who forces him to inhale PCP through a gas mask. Tucker clamps the opponent’s neck in a leg-hold, forcing the mask off, but the PCP begins to take effect, sending Tucker into a state of panic, arms flailing, and visions of doom as he screams in terror, envisioning a coffin closing in.

Intercut with scenes of church members praying at Mathis’ clinic for a young girl who eventually recovers from PCP, Bucky and Lt. Hayes arrive to help. Tucker’s grip on reality unravels—the halls flood with visions of his mother and demonic figures—yet the confrontation with Stinger reaches a fever pitch. Stinger appears as a red-flashing demonic figure, including animated effects, and Tucker roars, “You’re not my mama! You’re evil!”

As Bucky and Hayes close in, Tucker is urged toward hospital care, but the film builds to a final, thunderous scream: > Take your hands off of me! AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!
