(BP) Posted October 19, 2023 Share Posted October 19, 2023 It’ll never make sense to me that he was in his mid 30s when he filmed the first Rocky. Anyway, here he is being badass on The Sopranos (NSFW.) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt McGirt Posted October 19, 2023 Share Posted October 19, 2023 Only two scenes in the whole series but brutal. "He smoked those Camels since he was in short pants" He was a legit badass too -- boxed in the Marines and won 32 of 34 fights! RIP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.H. Posted October 25, 2023 Share Posted October 25, 2023 I remember when I first watched Brick and Richard Roundtree showed up on my screen. I literally shouted "RICHARD FUCKIN ROUNDTREE!!" and my fiends on the sofa thought I was overreacting James 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt McGirt Posted October 25, 2023 Share Posted October 25, 2023 He was in Seven and somehow I've never recognized him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(BP) Posted October 25, 2023 Share Posted October 25, 2023 When I think of Roundtree, Seven always comes to mind, but I had no recollection of him being the Vice Principal in Brick. He had a great later career being cast in authority figure roles by people who grew up on Shaft. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.H. Posted October 25, 2023 Share Posted October 25, 2023 I went back and read my review of Shaft for the Ernie Ladd Black History Month reviews. I really believe the opening to Shaft is a top 5 movie opening and 90% of it is how Roundtree comes off cool and badass at the same time James 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Technico Support Posted October 25, 2023 Share Posted October 25, 2023 RIP. We should all aspire to be a cat who won't cop out when there's danger all about. Everybody is mentioning Shaft, Seven, and Brick. Nobody mentioning Q. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odessasteps Posted October 25, 2023 Share Posted October 25, 2023 I will again put forward my controversial opinion that I prefer the Shaft’s Big Score theme by OC Smith to the original Issac Hayes theme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey at least you aren't sitting here trying to say Shaft In Africa isn't remotely watchable. Something about Shaft's Big Score makes it look like a TV movie to me. I can't explain it. The original does move slower but that a lot of that has to do with getting over Shaf as an actual detective and putting the pieces of the puzzle together. The original basically introduces all the major players in Big Score so it is a more direct "Shaft v. Bumpy" story. Are the episodes of the TV show online anywhere?

(BP) Posted October 28, 2023 Share Posted October 28, 2023 I always think of Moll as Slan the Cat, the Kurgan Lite antagonist from The Highlander series pilot. Spoiler and he was an all-time children’s action comedy movie goon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
