Audio problem: While rescuing the witness from her safe house near the end of the film, Shaft and the witness run across the street to Shaft's waiting car. They comes under a barrage of gun fire from the driver of People's car. The shot shows his gun breech is empty and the actor is just pulling the trigger while the effects sound like he is firing.
