John Singleton planned a sequel, where Shaft battles drug lords in Jamaica. But the film's mediocre box office returns, and Samuel L. Jackson's disappointment with the film, stopped any plans of a sequel, at least until Shaft (2019).
Richard Roundtree, who plays Shaft's uncle, is only six years older than Samuel L. Jackson.
Vin Diesel turned down the villain role that eventually went to Christian Bale.
According to an interview with Christian Bale, one of the main reasons why he took the role was because of a fight scene between Walter Wade, Jr. and Shaft on an airport runway. The scene was filmed, but cut to make room for more scenes with Jeffrey Wright, who scored highly with preview audiences.
Samuel L. Jackson says the line, "This is some repugnant shit," which he first said in Pulp Fiction (1994) and again in Jackie Brown (1997).
"John Shaft: You know me. It's my duty to please that booty!"
"Peoples Hernandez: This is Egyptian Cotton, motherfucker... two-twenty thread. That's like half your shitty-ass paycheck, okay? John Shaft: You wouldn't know Egyptian cotton if the Pharaoh himself sent it to you, you knockoff-wearing motherfucker!"
