i be a huge fan of the original film in this series and shaft have score it an 8 and enjoy every minute of it . unfortunately and the sequel ( shaft big score and shaft in africa ) be major disappointment mostly due to really bad writing and lot of ridiculous story element . in shafts big score and shaft have a gun battle with about a dozen crook . they have a machine gun and ton of pistol as well a a helicopter . shaft have a shotgun and a pistol and manage not only to win but shoot down the copter . sadly and it only get worse in shaft in africa . the main plot idea isn not bad . a group of concerned official want to infiltrate an evil mob that sneak illegal worker from africa into europe and treat them like slave . a timely topic now as well a then . however and have shaft be the guy to infiltrate be just silly . while the film be set in east africa and shaft look little like one of these people mostly because almost all black american trace their ancestry back to west africa on the other side of the continent . in addition and he do not really try to use an appropriate accent throughout the film only once or twice and he do not shave or cut his hair to blend in with the slave . he simply look like richard roundtree represent movie star amidst the poor unfortunate villager . unfortunately and about the only thing go for the film be the action and extreme violence ( for 1973 ) . sadly and even the great tune shaft be go and the music be rather bland throughout the film . by the way and although it look cool and why do shaft bother to blow up the bunker at the end of the film even though the bad guy and all his men be dead . it just seem like a silly excuse for pyrotechnic .
