Plot: The second sequel to the hit Shaft, this film foreshadows itself early on when Shaft, asked to go undercover in Africa to halt modern-day slave trade, claims that he's not James Bond but strict...( read more read more... )ly Sam Spade. Bond, however, is the operative model here, with John Shaft masquerading as an Ethiopian to infiltrate the slave business and bring it down. Yet everyone he encounters seems to know who he is and wants to kill him--but the string of dead bodies he leaves in his wake across two continents proves that no one is able to stop everyone's favorite hip private eye. Written by Stirling Silliphant, the film is long on action set pieces that are filmed with more energy than in Shaft's Big Score. Given contemporary practices involving smugglers of illegal Chinese and Mexican immigrants, the plot isn't all that far-fetched. Roundtree, as usual, is the picture of unflappable cool--but don't get him mad. --Marshall Fine

    John Shaft (Richard Roundtree) goes undercover in Africa to put a stop to a modern-day slave trade.

    This is Richard Roundtree's last theatrical appearance as Shaft until the 2000 version where Samuel L. Jackson takes the lead role.

    Also stars Vonetta McGee and Frank Finlay.

    Shaft travels to Africa to take down a ring of slave traders. He's still one bad mofo especially when you mess w/ his dog

    I think this is my favorite Shaft Film. (surprising? You bet!) John Guillerman, aside from being part of the King Kong 76 debacle, made an impressive espionage detective quest film with Shaft utilized well and the enviornment of Africa used well. It's a unique film like they don't make anymore. It also has one killer score!
