Shaft’s Big Score! (1972)

You go into Shaft’s Big Score! for the titular character, not the story. In Shaft, Richard Roundtree created an icon, a man made to have a ballad sung by Isaac Hayes. He’s a private detective who goes into a club on a stakeout and gets hit on by not one but two women within minutes. Anyone whose path he crosses will never be the same. You better know the name and appreciate it too. It's crucial to love and admire the blaxploitation hero when watching this sequel because the second time around... just isn’t the same.

When an explosion kills Cal Asby (Robert Kya-Hill), John Shaft (Roundtree) investigates. Asby's business partner, John Kelly (Wally Taylor) owes mob boss Gus Mascola (Joseph Mascolo) $250,000 and the only way Kelly was going to repay his debt was by grabbing the money he and Asby had in their safe. When he clicks in the combination to find the cash gone, he scrambles to find a way to come up with the funds.

The people behind Shaft’s Big Score! realized what made their hero so compelling the first time around so they double-up on many of his defining aspects. You thought he was a black hero before? This time you can see issues of Ebony and Essence on his nightstand, he confronts racism on more than one occasion and treats every police officer with contempt. Despite being black himself, Captain Bollin (Julius Harris) is on the same level of villainy as the greedy mobsters Shaft is pitted against. Our hero still leaves those who cross him with their heads spinning and the audience laughing with an arsenal of one-liners. He’s a man who respects women - consoling one who has been mistreated by her boyfriend - but could never settle down with one.

With a significantly higher budget than its predecessor, this is a slicker, more competently assembled film (though some fight scenes still have dodgy choreography) but you’d trade that technical prowess for the feel of the first movie any day. The plot feels needlessly complicated and tedious. Too much of it happens without Shaft’s involvement and since you see it unfold, it’s not like the mystery is enough to keep you fully engrossed. There's excitement in the action scenes but director Gordon Parks and writer Ernest Tidyman take it too far. The final battle between the black private eye and his opponents is ridiculous. The villains never hit him despite firing thousands of rounds. You're entertained because Shaft kicking’ ass is awesome any way you slice it but there’s no tension.

Shaft’s Big Score! is a step down from Shaft that still has appeal. I got it in a two-pack with the first and that’s exactly where it belongs. If you watch the original and still crave more, then yes you check it out. On its own? I dunno. (On DVD, June 16, 2019)

y’know what makes me really sad tho? we’re never gonna have Joseph Mascolo grace our screens again. it’s been nearly two years since we lost him and there’s still this Stefano Dimera sized hole in the show. and i appreciate them for trying to fill that void with Stefan O, but it’s just... it’s Joseph fucking Mascolo, you can’t replace someone like him. you can’t replace his 3 decade long presence where he had chemistry with literally everyone he ever worked with. it makes me sad and nostalgic to think about, but damn i really miss him.

Jaws 2 (1978)

This one has the best tagline, but maybe not the best plot. A SECOND shark has come to the island years later, when the sheriffs sons are older. The older son goes sailing with a group of friends, brings his little brother along, and they’re attacked by the shark after the town didn’t believe the sheriff AGAIN. It’s more of a teen movie this time, less of an adult shark movie. Maybe they wanted to appeal to younger viewers, I’m not sure. The dad is still the star and the hero. It just held less of my attention.

Rating: C. Could have lived without a sequel.
