Summary: Shaft Serves Up Plenty of Witty Barbs and Flashy One-Liners
Review: Hard-core fans of the original Shaft, people who have viewed the movie at least a dozen times, will find a viable gem in Shaft In Africa. Roundtree delivers the goods with the charm and natural humor the heavens bequeathed to him. The first twenty minutes provide the viewer with hilarious scences and great quotable lines that should be tried at every dinner party and date. Here's one of my favorites:"What's this slave jive, huh?" or "Is that American or Hong Kong?" See, I told you that they were marvelous-and well written(the screen-writer Sterling Silliphant won an Oscar for In the Heat of the Night). Shaft once again demands respect from his enemies and friends always satisfies the ladies. Check it out!!!!

Summary: Please don't say it so loud!
Review: I love bad movies and cult movies and all those groovy flicks from the 70's...but this was beyond bad. C"mon! I expected so much more from our favorite "Bad Mother [shut yo mouth!]..."

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: An excellent movie!
Review: I was pleased after watching this movie. I would consider this the "Godfather II" of blaxploitation movies. It is a good story or Shaft being sent to Africa as a spy to stop the slavery. My favorite scene : when someone kills Shaft's dog, and then Shaft beats the man down like a dog. Five stars.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Shaft is still the man!
Review: Probably the best of the sequels, but not as good as the original Shaft. This film, which takes our hero to "The Motherland", and across Europe, to break up a slavery ring, has some great fight scenes, and a great "Shaft girl." This movie also boasts a great title song sung by the Four Tops! Great movie, lots of fun, and perfect for fans of the Shaft films, and the whole Black Cinema genre. Definetly worth a look.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Bravo for Shaft!
Review: Shaft does it again! He brings his street sense to Africa and woos an African princess in the process...and right under the watchful eye of her bodyguard! Too smooth! I was actually craving for more after this one...who knows, he might have done the same in Europe had more had been produced! Richard Roundtree was truly one of the hottest names in the business at that time as John Shaft. Get the other two as well to complete the collection ("Shaft" and "Shaft's Big Score").

Summary: Worth it for one line
Review: Shaft is discussing an impending female circumcision with the African princess and suggests "We put a little wear and tear on that thing before they cut it off". SMOOOOVE
