New York City Private detective John Shaft gets a pre-dawn phone call from a panicked friend, Cal Asby, but he arrives at Asby's funeral home just before the building blows up--killing Asby and starting an underworld war in Shaft's Big Score. Searching for Asby's killer, Shaft (Richard Roundtree) soon learns that Asby ran a gambling racket, doing business with Harlem gang lord Bumpy Jonas (Moses Gunn). Now the racket's cash is missing; rival gangs are battling for Asby's turf ... and only one man's bad enough to stop the violence--John Shaft!

Classificações e críticas

The first one was a small caper dealing with kidnapping and Ransom. The second one takes a brief look at a numbers racket and multiple crews searching for dead bookie half million dollars.

Wonderful, terrific flashback! They just don't make movies like they use to. Richard Roundtree will always be SHAFT!!!

Second best of the Shaft trilogy!
