only three black movies from the 1970`s are worth repeat viewing`s,COFFY with pam grier,BLACK GUNN with jim brown and this one,believe me I know,as I have seen them all,most just lived of the success of shaft,but with poor scripts and very bad acting,shaft`s big score has some great action scenes and one of the funnest parts for an old lady coming out of a lift with a hood trying to get into it,you can just feel the film crew in the background falling around with laughter,but watch it yourself to see what I am talking about,only down side is last 30 mins with a copter chasing shaft,how could they miss shooting him,and I thought that as a kid watching this in the 70`s,just as much as now,anyhow still great to watch after so many years.The last movie in the series is ok,ie shaft in africa,but is not in the same league.
