Editorial Reviews: Product Description Richard roundtree returns as the indomitable shaft this time drafted for an overseas assignment to pose as a slave unmask the leaders of an africa-to-europe slavery cartel and for good measure mix his business with amorous pleasure involving a beautiful princess. Subtitles in english and french. Studio: Warner Home Video Release Date: 02/03/2004 Starring: Richard Roundtree Vonetta Mcgee Run time: 111 minutes Rating: R Director: John Guillermin Amazon.com 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 Fine

Customer Reviews: Read 6 more reviews... Shaft in Africa June 12, 2008 The third of the Shaft series and even though not as good as the orginal still not a bad flick. One of the best in the series August 20, 2005 I have to say, this one is my favorite of them all. The action, sex, and violence!! The original black superhero!! A CHANGE OF PACE FOR SHAFT October 6, 2003 1 out of 3 found this review helpful 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. Bravo for Shaft! July 7, 2003 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"). Worth it for one line December 29, 2002 1 out of 3 found this review helpful 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".
