8.9/10. Pretty good movie. Shaft and Dirty Harry working together could've worked.

Suggested correction: I believe the entry refers to the initial rescue attempt, at 1:18:45. I am not entirely convinced that this is a legitimate goof though: the man sees 3 guys peeking into an alley, and he seems to rather stop and backtrack to check out whatever they are looking up, the exact opposite of 'stepping out'. It's still a rather amusing detail, though.
John Shaft: When you lead your revolution, whitey better be standing still because you don't run worth a damn no more.
