[edit] Blaxspoitation

Please enrich "many debate whether it actually falls under the category of blaxploitation itself" to provide details on why there is this conflict, or at least a link to a films forum discussing it. Alvis 04:25, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Page move

This page was moved from "Shaft (1971 movie)" to "Shaft (1971 film)" as per the naming convention set out at Wikipedia:Naming conventions (films) – Ianblair23 22:31, 30 September 2005 (UTC)

Unfortunately, the Wikiquote entry's name wasn't changed from movie to film, so the link was pointing to a nonexistent page. I've fixed this (as far as I can tell). Naar 22:15, 3 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] In-film bloopers and errors

Just been watching it. Call me a pedant if you want, but the way that the friction knot was rigged onto the abseil rope while setting up the hotel assault ... bad, very bad. It is possible to rig up like that using an Italian Hitch on a karabiner, but the actor fumbled and only put two turns of rope around the karabiner. Go the the back of the class, Mr Stunt Double, and more importantly plummet to the ground screaming then die.

Are "bloopers" a part of the normal Wikipedia movie description?

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Shaft Movie.jpg

Image:Shaft Movie.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 03:47, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
