Factual error: The calendar in the police office indicates Tuesday January 27th and Thursday January 29th. That was in 1970, but this story takes place in 1971.

1 factual error
Directed by: Gordon Parks
Starring: Richard Roundtree, Moses Gunn, Charles Cioffi, Christopher St. John
Visible crew/equipment: When Bumpy hires Shaft to find his daughter, Bumpy gives Shaft an envelope with money, and when Shaft stands up you can see the bulge of the hidden microphone and wire at the front of Shaft's turtleneck sweater. When Bumpy leaves the office Shaft turns around and there's a bulge at the back of his waist, which is presumably the mic transmitter. (00:26:10)
John Shaft: When you lead your revolution, whitey better be standing still because you don't run worth a damn no more.
