message: Please enrich "many debate whether it actually falls under the category of blaxploitation itself" to provide details on why there is this conflict, or at least a link to a films forum discussing it. Alvis 04:25, 27 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: If this is a debated term that is used by those critical of the film, should the very first sentence of the article be so casually refering "shaft is a blaxploitation film from the...." Etc? Seems like this should be written from a more NPOV, with the topic of whether it is "blaxploitation" relegated to its own section later in the article? I'm going to delete this from the summary for the time being. :96.41.68.81 (talk) 08:30, 11 April 2015 (UTC)

message: Just been watching it. Call me a pedant if you want, but the way that the friction knot was rigged onto the abseil rope while setting up the hotel assault ... bad, very bad. It is possible to rig up like that using an Italian Hitch  on a karabiner, but the actor fumbled and only put two turns of rope around the karabiner. Go the the back of the class, Mr Stunt Double, and more importantly plummet to the ground screaming then die.
Are "bloopers" a part of the normal Wikipedia movie description?

message: :Image:Shaft Movie.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page.  Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

message: I am actually surprised there isn't already a Shaft film series page. With four films, a fifth on the way, and a TV series spin-off...this definitely needs to be made. Who's going to make the draft for the rest of us to read?.--DisneyMetalhead (talk) 06:15, 2 February 2018 (UTC)

message: In my opinion, Isaac Hayes was by far the best reason for this movie to exist. But it's ridiculous to spam the article with links to his name and reprints of his name. One link per person is enough, and only for notable people. (Hayes is absolutely notable, but not 50x more than anyone else in the world. :) ) TooManyFingers (talk) 07:14, 26 October 2023 (UTC)
