Shaft In Africa - 1973

What It Is: The exciting but very different 3rd part of the Shaft trilogy.

Why I Watched It: I dug the first two. A lot.

What I Thought: Shaft in Africa wasn't the cream of the blaxploitation crop like the first two were, but it was still pretty good. Surprisingly, Shaft In Africa played more like a Bond film than a Shaft movie.

What's wrong with that? Not a damn thing, but if you're expecting a funky blaxploitation classic then you're looking in the wrong place.

I won't bother going into every Bond-like detail of the film. If you enjoy classic Bond films, then you'll dig Shaft In Africa. Plain and simple.

Dig This: A naked stick fight with its own choreographer, Bond villains, Bond gadgets, a Bond girl, and Shaft... in Africa!

Who Should See It: Shaft fans and Bond fans.

How Soon: Whenever
