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)
Shaft in Africa (1973)
Directed by: John Guillermin
Starring: Frank Finlay, Richard Roundtree, Vonetta McGee, Neda Arneric
Continuity mistake: In the back of the limo at the beginning of the movie, the woman with Mr. Amafi blows cigar smoke in his face. She does so opening her mouth at the end of the first shot, but has her lip still puckered in the one that follows. (00:01:40)
Continuity mistake: As Shaft is stick fighting in the stable, the Emir's attendant makes a comment about his penis (no, seriously, he does!). The man is leaning against the door with his hand positioned 3 different ways in 3 different shots. (00:13:00)
Shaft: Now, wait a minute. Now, I'm not James Bond. Simply, Sam Spade.
Amafi: I'd give ten years of my life if I could do that. To be able to see the world only in sexual terms and to feel it - the way you do, Jazar.
