This film is PC- but in a good way. It shows all kinds of different fighting styles. It's kind of cool to watch. I don't know how realistic those fighting styles are, but they are cool. Like the african dude who stays low to the ground.


If the African guy was actually Brazilian it sounds like Capoeira.

Unless it was the funky African martial arts demonstrated so notably in 'Shaft In Africa'.

An absolute corker, with some real clunker blaxploitation 'Back to Africa' lines.

The way the film was billed was "The Brother Man In The Motherland." And that may be about as much as you really need to know about the plot of Shaft In Africa, the movie.

The signature tune from the movie, "Are You Man Enough," was performed by the Four Tops, who had recently exited their long-term relationship with Motown and had signed to ABC. It captures the flavor of the film magnificently, with classic blaxploitation lyrics such as "Are you man enough/Big and bad enough/Are you gonna let 'em shoot you down?" Two minutes and twelve seconds of pop perfection, that.

Damn, I never heard of that one. I quite enjoyed the original Shaft. Killer poster, I bet it's worth a pretty penny today.

I remember watching "Where Eagles Dare" in the movie theater. The group of guys behind us had obviously seen it before and were trying to do a body count on Clint. They lost track. And it was 1969.

Great action movie.

yeah Red Dawn. Totally preposterous movie and scenerio having the russians invade in that way. But I thought it was a cool movie none the less.

What amazes me is people think it's unrealistic because of the kids blowing up tanks. It's like they have no idea what guerrilla warfare is. The movie is unrealistic because the russians had no ability to invade the U.S. in such a way. And keep Europe (and Canada I think) out of the war. And kick our asses.
