Awesome part of the original shaft movie. Moses and richard negotiating eh, pure fkn class. This is one of those gold plated original movies. Pure 70's vibe,
Shaft: Got any idea who grabbed her? Bumpy: Lot of cats hate my guts. Shaft: Sweet...lovin' dude like you? Sweet talkin' a man's old lady while you're beatin' her old man out of his paycheck in the backroom of a horse parlor...Feeding his kid shit to shoot in his arm...Who could hate you, Bumpy?
No i love when he throws the money on the table then the soft music comes on an he pulls out his hankie to wipe his tears an says " when will i hear from you" lol classic
I haven't seen this movie in years but I'm looking for the scene where shaft tails how much money is going to cost and bumpy is like damn! Shaft says I thought you said money don't matter. And bumpy says money always matter
In the 80s all the Shaft movies and the 7 tv episodes would play on Saturday afternoons. Lots of bleeping. I wasn’t even in high school yet but damn I wanted to know what Shaft was saying. I still love these movies. They seem more honest than today’s offerings.
@@dwightlove3704 That's right. They went with Roundtree because they thought that his appearance was more unequivocally Black. This was also why U"Neal, unlike Roundtree, couldn't have a successful modelling career, although he was regarded as a handsome guy.
Sam is a great actor , but Richard is a much more of a natural . I'm working on my own movie . But in time I will hire Richard Roundtree . Why because he is a natural not to take anything from Sam. What has bothered me years . Is why they never called Richard Roundtree for a acting job .

Powerfull , sincere , professional American acting by profoundly and genuine great American men !
RIP Richard Roundtree.

Roundtree and Mose Gunn Had Good Chemistry Together! I'll Get You Bumpy You Believe It Fake Mutha! Love This Scene Classic!

@@vision-gc4hy me to rip
Richard Roundtree, October 24, 2023
R I P. Issac Hayes and Richard Roundtree.
Richard Roundtree was a bad-ass, right there with Steve McQueen and Clint.
I totally agree with you .
Better and COOLER!!!
😢 I love the words he used he got
Rip Moses Gunn and Richard Roundtree😢
Great movie
This is so awesome and deep on so many levels; need I say more.

Real cop! We need more true cops like John Shaft!
I agree with you , totally.
I remember when this movie first came out I was a kid line wrapped around the block
Right on man; those were the days.
Fifty bucks an hour plus expenses is some pretty heavy bread, especially in 71.
Bumpy has the money.. He's a big time gangster
I can work with in 2019!
GenerationXT roughly 315 bucks an hour, adjusted to inflation
Thats right
Damn rite...
Shaft Rules!!!
DAMN RIGHT, HE DOES!!!
Shaft: Got any idea who grabbed her?
Bumpy: Lot of cats hate my guts.
Shaft: Sweet...lovin' dude like you? Sweet talkin' a man's old lady while you're beatin' her old man out of his paycheck in the backroom of a horse parlor...Feeding his kid shit to shoot in his arm...Who could hate you, Bumpy?
doc2skate My favorite scene!
My favorite scene too at least Shaft and Bumpy understood Each Other plus They were real Brothers back then!
The sweet crocodiles cry at the end i priceless.
Good script, cool casting. Go, Bumpy!
I agree good Script, cool Casting, made a lot of sense back then but Go Shaft all the way yes Bumpy too!
The 1st movie I ever saw.
the best part of the movie
Am i the only one who thinks that bumpy is entertaining
No i love when he throws the money on the table then the soft music comes on an he pulls out his hankie to wipe his tears an says " when will i hear from you" lol classic
That leather trench coat..
Masculine and Powerful 4:55

Great negotiation tactics, Shaft! Fifty bucks an hour PLUS EXPENSES sounds a helluva lot better than Rockford's $200 PER DAY (er... plus expenses)! LL
Don't jive me man!..... LOL
A good friend of mine his father wrote shaft. His father was Ernest Tidyman. From the Pacific Northwest
Shaft I had to ask my mama to see shaft 🤣
best scene!
who could hate you bumpy?
I could.
I can`t believe they used such language back in 71

It's new york for one, and it really wasn't all that edgy to use it back in the 50's and 60's especially for poor people
Ron O'Neil also did a great job . But Richard was still more of a natural actor
Nah. Richard was a model turned actor, whereas Ron was a seasoned play actor before he went into film
@@lwmson O'Neal was trained in Shakespeare and he wanted to play SHAFT but was turned down because of skin color.
@@dwightlove3704 That's right. They went with Roundtree because they thought that his appearance was more unequivocally Black. This was also why U"Neal, unlike Roundtree, couldn't have a successful modelling career, although he was regarded as a handsome guy.
@@lwmson Issac Hayes volunteered to play SHAFT as well but he was turned down Roundtree was the third choice to play SHAFT
The Best
Good scene
He don't cut no smooth-talking he got
dont try to rent this movie from youtube. it does not work
No problem, I have it on DVD.
Bumpy Johnson vibes
