I was born July 1971, so I'm the baby in the group LOL. Still remember seeing the uncut version when I was in grade school, until I was old enough to purchase the the VHS version.
@@joelsims98Samuel L Jackson played SHAFT in the remake and it was NOT good!!! The second remake Roundtree played the Uncle to Jackson 2019 version that movie was good.
I strongly believe the officer saying "Hey throw me a towel will ya?" is Sig Shore. If so, he produced "Superfly" directed by Gordon Parks Jr. in 1972.
It was, as Richard Roundtree was a clean shaven model before he was cast for the role of Shaft. He did grow a real one for the sequel, "Shaft's Big Score" though.
