- In order to pay tribute to the 1971 film "Shaft", the film director and lead actor were invited to play guest roles in the film. The role of John Shaft played by Samuel L. Jackson was also positioned as the nephew of the old Shaft.
- The image of John Shaft in the film completely inherited the old Shaft's mantle, and the director John Daniel Singleton specially selected Samuel L. Jackson, because he took a fancy to the appearance of his villain in films such as "Black Pursuit" .
- In order to perform this movie, Samuel L. Jackson shaved a big bald head at the suggestion of director John Daniel Singleton, plus he left a shaved beard on his own.
- Samuel L. Jackson didn't have much interest in performing the film at the beginning. He thought that the remake of "Shaft" was unnecessary, because Richard Lang's performance in the original film was unmatched. Later, when he learned that John Daniel Singleton was not going to make a new film for an old film, but to recreate it, he agreed to participate in the show .

A long time ago, when I was still blindly trusting other people's film reviews, I was fooled by a certain film review and the fame of the bald head to watch this film. After reading it, I was at a loss and felt bad, but I didn’t dare to say it. Now because of Berga one star.
