Shaft was a stud who always left a lady dreamily satisfied even if he had to dash out and fight when she just wanted to be held. And even - horrors! - white women wanted, and got, a piece of that action. His nephew, by contrast, despite a few lines of conversational innuendo, is remarkably sex-starved...
