The one-liners are now part of the American Lexicon. You'll definitely find yourself rooting for Mr. Shaft by the end of the flick. The legendary Issac Hayes score is timeless soul. The business partner did the deed to pay back a Mafia boss for gambling debts. Shaft's gotta stop them both.
Shaft is a hoot.
Good action flick. Good Shaft sequel. Shaft goes the 007 route when an African king recruits him to pose as a slave in Africa to bust up a modern day slave trade originating from France. Hopefully, this brief description of Shaft's screen adventures should keep you busy at the video store as you prepare to witness the Y2K version of Shaft. I'm really hoping John Singleton did a good job with this update.
