IMDb profile

Shaft's Big Score, released in 1972, is the second film in the trilogy in which actor Richard Roundtree starred as the private-eye, John Shaft. Gordon Parks again directed, and Ernest Tidyman once more supplied the screenplay. Isaac Hayes was unavailable, so Parks, the director, did the score himself. The budget for the film was $1,978,000 and the film grossed $10 million at the box-office[1], a bit less than the original film's $12 million gross.
