Has there ever been a more 70's sentence?  So, non-PC in these times.  

First there was the 1971 Movie. Bad movie with a great theme song and staring Richard Roundtree...

 

Now there is going to be a 2019 remake with Richard Roundtree and Samuel Jackson as his son.  Still with the same theme song...

 

Funny fact, Richard Roundtree is 76 years old but Samuel L Jackson is 70 years old.  

 

And, the best part of both is this old live performance of the theme song...

I didnt even mind the early 2000s remake Sam did.  Good movie for idly watching.

I'm confused.  So in 2000, Shaft (Samuel L Jackson) is the nephew of Original Shaft, and in 2019 Shaft (Samuel L Jackson) is the son of Original Shaft?

 

This is like the Terminator and Xmen movies that keep contradicting their own timeline (but at least both of them have time travel)

Inbreeding?

I <3 70’s blacksploitation films & have since I was kid. Their main characters always seemed like such badasses.
