The middle entry in a 48-year trilogy that gave each movie the exact same title cleans up the streaming streets

What’s the name of a 1971 classic that established the title hero as the coolest cat on the block? Shaft! And the the sequel that arrived almost 30 years later and topped the box office? Shaft! What about the third installment that released close to two decades later and flopped spectacularly? Shaft! You’re damn right.

MGM, Paramount, and Warner Bros. all handled one installment each, but for some reason, they couldn’t come up with a different title for any of them. Richard Roundtree inhabited the role of John Shaft first time around, before making a small appearance in the 2000 follow-up that saw Samuel L. Jackson at his charismatic best as the OG’s nephew… also named John Shaft.
