- In a flashback scene, Priest's mentor Scatter (Michael K. Williams) explains to him in an analogy that "a tiger has stripes and a lion has a mane to warn other animals not to mess with them." This can be inferred as the reason why Priest wears his hair in a noticeable blowout process, to distinguish himself as dominant and apart from others.
- The film director, Director X l, a.k.a Little X, was a visual consultant on director Hype William's 1998 classic "hood" film: Belly. Some of the visual aesthetics seen in Belly are updated in SuperFly.
- The code Eddie uses to open the safe in Priest's office is 123456.
- The original soundtrack is produced by Future.
