Anybody excited to see the return of Shaft? Now there's a movie I never expected to happen. I was impressed to see the Rocky series is 42 years old and still kicking (punching?), but the Shaft series is 48 years old! Richard Roundtree did a few movies and a tv series in the early 70s, but then he took a few decades off, only to return in 2000s "Shaft", in which Sam Jackson plays original Shaft's nephew, and real Shaft is also in that movie, making it totes legit. Hell, that movie even had Isaac Hayes, notable for doing that great theme song that talks about how much of a bad-ass Shaft is. Daaaamn right!
So yeah... I wasn't sure how the 2000 movie fared, but they recently decided to make yet another entry in the series, because Sam Jackson never ages. Richard Roundtree is getting pretty old, but it looks like he'll have more action in this new movie, which is great. Also appearing in the movie is Isaac Hayes' son I think.
Any fans of Shaft? Anybody ever see the short-lived tv series that came out after the first 3 movies?
