This movie shows this perhaps more than any of the other Shaft movies. Violence, girls, sex, chases, &#8220;Shaft&#8217;s Big Score!&#8221; has it all!<\/p>\n<p>By no means any of the Shaft movies are among the greatest of all time. Nevertheless they are extremely memorable thanks to its main character, played by Richard Roundtree. He&#8217;s hip, digs his women and isn&#8217;t afraid to hold back when it comes to action. He&#8217;s a classic and important iconic African-American character from the &#8217;70&#8217;s.<\/p>\n<p>The movie its story and plot lines are a bit messy (in that way this movie also resembles James Bond movies), which also makes the movie unclear and not always totally interesting to follow. The movie also really lacks a good main ruthless villain. The villain in this movie is perhaps introduced a bit too late to really leave his mark on the movie. In that way &#8220;Shaft&#8217;s Big Score!&#8221; is a really lacking movie, when it comes down to its story, storytelling and characters.<\/p>\n<p>Thankfully the movie isn&#8217;t lacking in action and great dialog. Some of the dialog is just brilliant and suits the atmosphere of the movie- and its time period extremely well. Also of course the music adds to this atmosphere. But surprisingly good is also the action in the movie. The movie doesn&#8217;t really feature that much action but the lack of it is made up during the great finale, that features a good old fashioned typical &#8217;70&#8217;s car chase, boat chase and helicopter chase in one, James Bond style. It&#8217;s really true that the ending makes up a lot. It makes you forget some of the weaker points of the movie, although in the end &#8220;Shaft&#8217;s Big Score!&#8221; is still nothing more than an average action-flick with one great, cool main character.<\/p>\n<p>A good movie featuring the classic character Shaft and some really great action.<\/p>\n<div class=\"syndication-links\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Shaft really was the African-American answer to the popular James Bond franchise.
