Amafi murdered Ramila's son when he attempted to expose the illegal operation...

Go ahead. Slug, drug, kidnap and leave John Shaft buck-naked in a sweltering hellhole. It's still no deal. If you want to recruit this tough-minded Manhattan detective for an overseas assignment, you'd better use a language he understands. One that offers a fat up-front fee. And a drop-dead gorgeous accomplice. Richard Roundtree returns as the indomitable Shaft, who poses as a slave, unmasks the leaders of an Africa-to-Europe slavery cartel and, for good measure, mixes his business with amorous...

Triple Feature includes: "Shaft" - Hotter than Bond. Cooler than Bullitt, movie posters proclaimed.

Richard Roundtree plays the smart, tough, confident lead, a private investigator whose hunt for a kidnapped woman puts him in the middle of feuding syndicates. Gordan Parks directs from a screenplay that Ernest...

One of the greatest blacksploitation soundtracks ever -- a massively beautiful record that goes beyond any cliches of the genre, and serves up a fantastically unique batch of tracks! Chisoul arranger Johnny Pate did the music for the film -- and (dare we say it?) it's even greater that Issac Hayes' work for the first Shaft film -- with a depth, sensitivity, and soul that's really amazing -- and which has kept the record at the top of our crates for many years. The 4 Tops turn out a great later...

When Harlem P.I. John Shaft first appeared on the movie scene he was a shut-your-mouth detective to reckon with, a fact underscored by Isaac Hayes' Oscar®-winning Best Original Song (1971). Richard Roundtree plays the hard-hitting, street-smart title role in these signature "blaxploitation films, hunting for a kidnap victim in Shaft, seeking a friend's murderer in Shaft's Big Score! -- and mixing it up with mob thugs each time. Finally there's Shaft in Africa ("He's the Brother Man in the Motherland...
