SHAFT (1971) (BLU-RAY) - VARIO

A bit different from his other outings, Shaft teams up with some would be Panthers to rescue the daughter of a black gangster from the Mafia. To add to the tension, John doesn't even like the gangster nor the panthers.

The old versions are the best ones, Good movie, for the decade.

I've been waiting since I got my first Blu-Ray player for Shaft to be released. I've watched the dual sided cardboard box DVD on numerous occasions and along with Superfly it's my favourite Blaxploitation film. This is a US release, but plays All Region.First off the transfer is an improvement on the original and things are far more clear than before, not perfect, but still an improvement. As far as the extras go it's what was on the DVD with an added bonus of one of the Shaft TV movies included. It's a rather annoying 4:3 aspect, but I've wanted to watch one of these for a long time (all 7 are now available as a DVD box set). Curiosity solved and while the TV movie is like Shaft Lite I still enjoyed it and will invest in the box set.Overall the Film, upgraded picture and introduction to the TV Series/Film bonus deserves 5 Stars.

Perfect

A good 70s movie that came out a few months before I was born with to be the actor who played hugy bear later on. Just waiting for the other 2 shaft movies to come on blu ray.

The film is a classic. Seen it many times before. But the sound quality through Amazon was simply awful, and no subtitles were available.

Great fun films. Cool baby.

good old fashioned black cop story drama
