Invocation to Shaft
The Hayes: Who's the black private dick that's a sex machine to all the chicks?
The People: Shaft.
The Hayes: You’re damn right. Who is the man that would risk his neck for his brother man?
The People: Shaft.
The Hayes: Can you dig it? Who's the cat that won't cop out when there's danger all about?
The People: Shaft.
The Hayes: Right on.
The Hayes: They say this cat Shaft is a bad mother—
The People: Shut your mouth.
The Hayes: I'm talkin' 'bout Shaft.
The People: Then we can dig it
The Hayes: He's a complicated man, but no one understands him but his woman.
The People: John Shaft.
"Nobody's Fool" Trait from Eureka: Investigative Urban Fantasy! Every investigator has 3-6 Traits! By the way, everyone should watch Shaft (1971). The critical response to this movie actually played a major role in bringing the term "swag" into mainstream culture, referring to the titular character's attitude and mannerisms.
Before Shaft (1971), black males in American film were almost exclusively allowed to be portrayed as extremely polite and subordinate, even if they were protagonists. John Shaft however, as portrayed in Shaft (1971) by actor Richard Roundtree, was bold, clever, smooth, and unapologetically macho. Having seen it recently, this is actually one of my favorite movies ever, and really had a Eureka feel to it.
Could Detective John Shaft solve the Kira murders?
Could catch Kira, would survive
Could not catch Kira, would survive
Could catch Kira, would not survive
Could not catch Kira, would not survive
On July 2, 1971, Shaft debuted in the United States.
On December 26, 1973, Shaft in Africa debuted in Denmark.
Here's a new portrait of Richard Roundtree!
