Shaft is a 1971 Academy Award winning Blaxploitation film from director Gordon Parks which starred Richard Roundtree as a private detective that must infiltrate Harlem in order to save the daughter of a mobster. With an Oscar-winning soundtrack by Isaac Hayes, the movie was a surprise success and is still considered to be one of the prime examples of the Blaxploitation genre. While two sequels were released, none of them had the impact of the original film. In 2000, another sequel was made featuring Samuel L. Jackson as the nephew of Richard Roundtree's character John Shaft.
