Review of Shaft's Big Score! (1972) by Clay B — 07 Sep 2011
Since it was Richard Roundtree's birthday I decided to watch one of his movies & really a flix I hadn't given much of a chance w/ the first couple of times I saw it. Yes Shaft's Big Score is the least of the Shaft trilogy it's still a good movie.
It just isn't badass like the other two. I think that's mainly because of the casting of Joseph Mascolo as the villain of this. Many of you may know Mascolo as Stefano DiMera on Days of Our Lives.
Mascolo can't match Shaft in terms of blaxploiation vibrance. He's more suited as an evil mastermind/son of a bitch. I think that's basically the rhythm he sets & it's not bad it just isn't what hardcore Shaft fans want.
@ least Roundtree's able to keep his cool & bring out the artillery when need be..& get busy w/ the ladies.
