Richard roundtree is shaft, again, as in many of the sequels, hoping to get revenge for who-ever killed and robbed his friend asby. Since shaft is shacked up with asby's sister (rosalind miles), now he really has to get to the bottom of this. Not much said in the first twenty minutes. A silly scene where the big boss mascola (mascolo) plays clarinet while his thugs tell him that the money is gone. What they really wanted is the dead guy's territory in the numbers racket. The coppers knew about asby's operation, but he was sharing the profits, so they left him alone. Who knows what will happen now? The shooting begins! Co-stars moses gunn as bumpy jones. This one has a pretty good storyline. And the 1970s vibe. Directed by gordon parks. Wrote some of the score himself. He also directed shaft and supercops. Story by ernest tidyman..... he had won the oscar for french connection.
