Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThere is only a 6 year age difference between Richard Roundtree (Shaft I) and Samuel L. Jackson (Shaft II). This is humorously acknowledged in the film when Roundtree rhetorically asks, "How come you look 20 years older than my gray ass?"
- GoofsFBI data analysts are not given badges. Only sworn FBI agents, officers, and investigators are provided with badges and credentials.
- Quotes
John Shaft Jr.: You can't beat up a woman!
John Shaft II: Why not?
John Shaft Jr.: Because she's a woman! That's like, misogynistic!
John Shaft II: You're the one being misogynistic, I never even mentioned her gender! I'm an equal-opportunity ass-whooper!
- Crazy creditsWhen the main title comes on in the traditional Shaft font, the copyright notice reads MCMLXXI, which is 1971, the year the original was released. The proper 2019 notice appears in the end credits.

It's my duty...
Much better than the last one! Fun, good action, and great music! Samuel L. is awesome (as always!), Regina Hall is hilarious, and Richard Roundtree is just as cool as he always is! Usher's character was a little too much of a pussy to begin, but rounded out just fine. Nice to see the 3 Shafts on one screen! And I think a sequel to this Shaft would be fun too! He's a bad mother...
