The original Shaft (along with The Mack and Superfly) is iconic in the Black community. I haven't watched it in years but, I saw it prolly 20 times when I was a kid. I was disappointed with his performance and, apparently, so was he since he cited it a payday flick
Re: rhe prequels. The movies were meh but Jackson was cool...especially in ep. 2.
Yeah the original Shafts were cool, especially Shaft in Africa!
I'm just saying that I thought the remake was good nowhere near as bad as I found snakes on a plane, 51st State and shite like that!
Sorry man, I fucking hate everything about those prequels!
