VHS Movie Reviews of Shaft in Africa [VHS]
Movie Review: International Mission for Shaft !
Summary: 3 Stars
The tagline(s) for the third installment in the Shaft trilogy says it all. "The brother man in the motherland", & "Shaft is stickin it all the way". Shaft is recruited to stop a slavery racket..(Africa to France). Shaft,(Richard Roundtree) is in top form as a fighter, a lover, and detective/spy in this flick. Shaft abandons his "iron" and uses a stick in some well choreographed fighting scenes. Plenty of violence is served up as the man overseeing the slavery racket, Amafi (Frank Finlay) is aware of Shaft's identity, thanks to a double agent. The Shaft chicks are the beautiful Aleme,(Vonetta McGee)- daughter of the emir (Cy Grant) who hires Shaft to infiltrate the international slave trading racket. Aleme gives Shaft a tutorial in the tribal customs and the language spoken preparing him for his trip to Africa. He in turn gives her a tutorial all his own.
Shaft also gets to nail the slave kingpins sensuous mistress...Jazar. Delectable blonde, blue eyed, Neda Arneric (Yugoslavian actress), who makes her American film debut. Aboard a slave smuggling ship from Africa to France, Shaft gives Jazar the eye and the feeling is mutual. She gets her wish to make love with Shaft in a very "steamy" seduction scene. The musical score and more specifically, Johnny Pate's guitar work, spices up some scenes. The Four Tops provide the theme song, "Are You Man Enough". Shaft makes his way to Paris and takes care of business. This movie definitely has the flavor of a Bond movie as Shaft gets a couple of gadgets for his mission. A definite step away from the first two Shaft flicks and worth a view.
Movie Review: Shaft in Africa
Summary: 3 Stars
The third of the Shaft series and even though not as good as the orginal still not a bad flick. Movie Review: One of the best in the series
Summary: 5 Stars
I have to say, this one is my favorite of them all. The action, sex, and violence!! The original black superhero!!Movie Review: A CHANGE OF PACE FOR SHAFT
Summary: 3 Stars
THIS TIME, JOHN SHAFT [RICHARD ROUNDTREE] IS FORCED TO GO TO AFRICA TO INFILTRATE A 20TH CENTURY SLAVE CARTEL. I THINK IT'S GOOD THAT THEY TRYED TO DO SOMETHING DIFFERENT WITH THE SERIES. THOUGH IT STILL PALES IN COMPARISON TO THE ORIGINAL, IT'S STILL A DECENT ACTION FILM.Movie Review: Bravo for Shaft!
Summary: 5 Stars
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 of Shaft in Africa [VHS]
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 strictly 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 FineRichard Roundtree Video
