Is this a racist film ? Let`s examine the evidence where the black hero dude is a funky sex machine ( Notice how the soundtrack sounds exactly like porno muzak ? ) and where the hero says brother , cat and baby a lot as in " Yo brother " , " she`s a hot cat " and " Start talking baby or I`ll break your other arm " , and lets not forget that this movie has black and white villains with the bad guy`s moll having a fetish for black men . You really do get the feeling that if the Nazis had won the war we`d never get to see a film like SHAFT IN AFRICA . Fair enough it`s guilty of playing up to stereotypes but I actually like to see stereotypes now and again
The actual storyline feels more like a James Bond movie than the previous urban thrillers featuring Shaft , it`s somewhat episodic and very bloodthirsty with the hero surviving a muder attempt by a white guy then surving a murder attempt by a black guy then surviving a murder attempt by another white guy .
As I said I did enjoy the political incorrectness and the high body count . It`s far better than any of the other SHAFT movies and I`m including the recent Samual L Jackson version
