Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThis would be the final Shaft film starring Richard Roundtree to be shot primarily in New York City because MGM wanted to turn the character into more of a James Bond like character, starting with "Shaft In Africa" which, despite positive reviews, was a disappointment financially. The 2000 update would return the franchise back to its New York City roots.
- GoofsObvious fake helicopter that Shaft shoots and it explodes. Its rotors were not spinning before the explosion and it was hanging from the overhead steel framework of the abandoned shipyard before being dropped in flames. Additionally, a fiery explosion happens on the ground underneath the helicopter even before it hits the ground.
- ConnectionsFeatured in Macked, Hammered, Slaughtered and Shafted (2004)
Featured review
This is the proper sequel to Shaft and one that is worthy of his name. He is again the cool and calm brother that doesn't let anything bother him. He even gets worked over good by the baddies.
Moses Gunn is back as Bumpy, a Blofeld character, and antagonist extraordinaire. And, of course, it's the old song about the Mafia horning in on Black turf that makes Shaft interesting - playing against both sides; black and white.
Rosalind Miles is here to keep Shaft interested at home, but you know he will stray, so there is Kathy Imrie to bump into and bed.
The ending with it's car chase and helicopter and machine guns is pure Bond, and Shaft outdoes Bond with a satchel full of loot to take home.
Pure fun!
