Shaft in Africa (1973) is a movie I recently watched on HBOMAX. The storyline follows Shaft as he investigates an underground slave trade occurring in Paris. He tracks the people responsible for the trade all the way back to Africa where he plans to bring them to justice the Shaft way.
This movie is directed by John Guillermin (The Towering Inferno) and stars Richard Roundtree (Shaft), Neda Arneric (When the City Awakes), Frank Finlay (Lifeforce), Vonetta McGee (Repo Man), Spyros Fokas (The Jewel of the Nile) and Frank McRae (License to Kill).
This should have been a non-Shaft movie and its own independent film, it would have been so much better. It did have some cool elements. I did like the Lion at the airport when he arrived. There's some classic quotes in this that had me cracking up, "I don't ride camel. I ride ass." I did enjoy the action scenes and there's plenty of worthwhile nudity, including a funny "mother country" strip tease.
Overall this is more entertaining than good but it is definitely worth a watch. I would score this a 5/10 and recommend seeing it once.
