This movie was so simple and all over the place! I just sat through the whole thing yesterday. Disappointment. He wasn't even that tough or sexy to b getting girls like that. Denzel in training day was scary and tough. This was cheap. When something gets pumped up that's it. Wow.
3:08--yeah, it's funny they included that little "disclaimer" in the trailers back then (I think the same line was used in the other trailers for the 1972 & 1973 "Shaft" sequels). A kid in a theater back in '71 could watch this trailer, but he had to "ask" his mama to see the actual flick. Lol... Look at how raw fuckin' trailers were 4 decades ago! To us today, this trailer is the entire movie. But seeing a trailer like this had to get a brother--and white boys, apparently--mad hype back in '71.
@BrooklynEagle: When Tarantino was promoting "Grindhouse" on Jimmy Kimmel Live back in 2007, he said that the TRAILERS back then couldn't be put in a movie today.
@patjepatatje1958 This was a big budget movie made with a major motion picture company. It was NOT a "blxploitation" movie! Shaft spawned the blaxploitation genre with the movies that followed in the wake of this movies' success at the box office.
Wow I find it hard to believe colloqiual terms such as 'cold shit' where existent in the very early 70's; this form of speech is closely associated with rappers and gangbangers from a working-class background in our modern age. The history of urban life in America never ceases to amaze me...
Nothing against my man (PAUSE!) Sam Jackson, but Mr. Richard Roundtree will ALWAYS be the baddest John Shaft. 1971, 1972 and 1973, suckers! And the short-lived idiot box run in 1973 till '74...
And, I probably wouldn't say this out here in the streets (even though I could likely get away with it in The GREAT County of Kings), but I'd say John Shaft (Mr. Roundtree!) could've FUCKED Lt. Theo Kojak up something REAL bad! Lol! :D Just my opinion, though.
black bad and one of the first black hero in the hood...'cause he's a bad motha shut your mouth. oh yah, I asked my moma and she said "you got any money sure you can go see shaft but who's going to get you in,,,,just like that,...I remember that day so well cause she was in the kitchen straightening her hair with webb blasting this same commercial...lol
You take away what is arguably one of the very best musical scoring of a ANY movie you've seen, and sandwiched between the beginning and closing sequences, you end up with a movie that's pretty shitty overall. Moses Gunn can only do so much. Very disappointing, and Roundtree was a dullard throughout.
@mallamoozoo pretty much, decline begin in late 60's, continued 70's and trough the 80's it was all porn cinemas, strip bars, narcotics and high crime.
@Quex01 How did they clean it all up - and why? to bring back tourists? Is it much better today? I never got the impression fro watching seinfeld that it was this bad? Maybe that wasn't realistic?
@mallamoozoo yeah, now its like some disneyland/police state combined. If you watch television, you have least idea unfortunately, whats going on in reality, lol
@Quex01 i was at JFK airport in January 1998- it was about midnight and i was bored in transit lounge so i went out for a walk and a bus driver yelled out to me something like; "This is jamaica queens man you gonna get killed- go back inside" (something like that i didnt really understand but he was obviously trying to warn me off so i went back inside- felt pretty unsafe even in the airport- seemed like homeless people were living there and eyeing me off with my luggage"
What a BAD son of a bitch! I wish I could be bad like Shaft, beat the shit out of people, throw them out of windows, and walk around with a badass jacket on.
