Trivia
Isaac Hayes was the first African-American to win the Academy Award for Best Song. In fact, he was also the first African-American to win an Oscar for a non-acting category.

Errores
When Shaft pushes one of Bumpy's goons into his office, the sound of glass breaking is heard, but the glass window in the office door is clearly undamaged until a short time later.

Citas
John Shaft: Don't let your mouth get your ass in trouble.

Great idea, but not well executed

Highlights:

Street scenes in New York.
A strong African-American in the lead role, an intelligent, hardboiled, and masculine character.
Shaft standing up to racism out of the mouths of others in the film.
Moses Gunn as Bumpy Jonas, who turns in the best performance.

Lowlights:

Really poor audio quality, tinny at times and with obvious dubbing at others.
Script is not great; plot is simple and dialogue is often wooden.
Pace is slow, especially towards an end which is a little mechanical.
The much-loved theme song has lyrics that are so over-the-top it gets the film off on a cartoonish note ("Who's the black private dick that's a sex machine to all the chicks? (Shaft)")

Great idea, just not all that well made.
