Sorry to hear actor Richard Roundtree, star of the Shaft trilogy, passed away at 81 after a fight with pancreatic cancer. In his honor, here's the car/boat/helicopter chase from Shaft's Big Score!:

Here and in Earthquake as daredevil Miles Quade, nobody rocked black leather like Roundtree!

Class act guy, I am sad to hear he is gone.  May he R. I. P.

Every time I hear the name Roundtree, I think of this movie.

My late dad was a big crime drama fan and "Shaft" was one of his favorites. Richard played the role of him to a T. RIP.
