Continuity mistake: Veeko is trying to pry Baby Bink away from the gorilla cage pulling him by the shoelace. In the side view the floor of the cage is littered with half eaten fruit, but in the close-up all of that is gone. (00:47:35)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: The Gentleman Caller interrupts Naomi's execution (of the musical kind) saying that Bach should be "crisp." Naomi seen from behind puts the violin down, but she's still holding it in the close-up. (01:28:30)

Sammo ★

Revealing mistake: When the three criminals jump from one roof to the other to chase the baby, Norby rolls during the landing and ends up against a metal chimney, which gets pushed aside, offering no resistance whatsoever. (00:26:55)

Sammo ★

Audio problem: The slave recruiter in the village shoots Shaft and kills his bodyguard. The Luger gun he is using has a suppressor, but the noise it makes is the noise of a normal, not 'silenced' gun. (00:56:55)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: When the protagonist dodges the machine gun fire in Amafi's office building, the desk in front of him has a lamp on it in the frontal views, but with the camera placed behind Shaft there is no lamp. (01:39:55)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: When the Colonel proudly shows the stick and with a skillful hand motion covers the knob before offering it to Shaft, Richard Roundtree's hand is by the glass at first, close to his chest after. (00:34:25)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: During the press conference, when Kate is giving her speech the scene is lit very differently depending on the camera angle (the shadow cast by the microphones is a good indication of that). (00:54:30)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: After being tossed across the building by the gorilla, Eddie is stuck between bars with the arms being positioned differently between shots (right arm down/right arm up in the front view). (00:53:00)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: In the coastal town, Shaft gets bitten by Ziba to the point of bleeding the thick red goop that passes off as blood in the movie. However he is perfectly unharmed in the following scene. (01:12:30)

Sammo ★

Revealing mistake: In the overhead shot of Eddie flipped back by the plank decking him in the jaw, look when he lands; the modest impact makes a chimney supposedly made of bricks wobble conspicuously. (00:26:05)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: Cross is at the police station, enraged by the premature arrest. Kyle says "Alex, not all", and hands him a folder. The folder is turned in opposite directions between shots. (01:20:45)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: Cross and Kate are in the woods, and discussing the bicoastal nature of the serial killer. Ashley Judd's hair changes position in front of her shoulders several times between shots. (01:00:45)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: Shaft escapes from the brothel jumping out of a window. He is facing opposite directions in the two shots when it happens (he jumps facing the street and lands facing the building). (01:10:40)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: Veeko screams in Norby's face when he touches the hand pounded by the gorilla; Norby has both hands in front of his mouth as reaction, but they disappear in the reverse shot. (00:48:50)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: Having received the Colonel's big knotty stick, Shaft is cupping his special pouch; you can see it turn around (look at the strings). (00:34:50)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: When Aleme asks Shaft if he's disappointed she was not a virgin, her left hand is on his shoulder, or not, depending on the angle, throughout the conversation. (00:45:25)

Sammo ★

Visible crew/equipment: When the camera moves in showing the dead short guy in drag killed in the toilet, on the toilet is the shadow of the moving camera. (00:29:24)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: Despite making the jump with Eddie from one building to the next, the two goons come out of the original building they jumped away from. (00:27:00 - 00:28:20)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: Baby Bink crawls out of the monkey building with his shoes unlaced, but they tie themselves up perfectly off-camera for the next scene. (00:56:30)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: Kate approaches the door of her cell and begins shouting; her hands by the slit change position between shots, multiple times. (00:39:15)
