Aside from Shaft (all 5 films and the TV series) nothing else says 70s cool like Richard Roundtree as a stuntman outrunning tectonic disaster on his motorbike in 1974's Earthquake.

The opening scene to Shaft, he’s walking through a seedy New York, stops to talk to a blind book seller, then moves on- such a great start to a film.

RIP
