Richard Roundtree was a bad-ass, right there with Steve McQueen and Clint.

Shaft: Got any idea who grabbed her? Bumpy: Lot of cats hate my guts. Shaft: Sweet...lovin' dude like you? Sweet talkin' a man's old lady while you're beatin' her old man out of his paycheck in the backroom of a horse parlor...Feeding his kid shit to shoot in his arm...Who could hate you, Bumpy?

Sam is a great actor , but Richard is a much more of a natural . I'm working on my own movie . But in time I will hire Richard Roundtree . Why because he is a natural not to take anything from Sam. What has bothered me years . Is why they never called Richard Roundtree for a acting job .

In the 80s all the Shaft movies and the 7 tv episodes would play on Saturday afternoons. Lots of bleeping. I wasn’t even in high school yet but damn I wanted to know what Shaft was saying. I still love these movies. They seem more honest than today’s offerings.
