How come no Shaft?
Anyone know why Richard Roundtree (Shaft) wasn't in this? He was the penultimate Blaxploitation star. I found it odd that he wasn't a part of it, thought maybe there was a backstory to his non-involvement.

Yeah man, you're gonna have to use an easier word to understand for me to get your point.

Sorry, possessed by Yoda there for a moment...
He does have a point though.

Richard Roundtree, who played Shaft, was asked to play a part in the movie, but he didn't want to spoof the type of characters he was famous for.
It's in the Trivia section for this movie.
It's says Fred Williamson, not Richard Roundtree in the trivia section.
Plus, he spoofed himself in Steel.

No Ron O"Neal -- SUPERFLY -- either. Or the Blackula guy. People didn't want to go back and mock the characters that made them famous, I guess.
