Shaft's "shaft" is seen several times toward the beginning of the film

When a nude woman walks toward a mirror her pubic area and breasts are briefly visible.

One scene depicting indigenous people - topless women. One scene depicting a naked woman in a brothel. Two scenes of simulated sex, portraying topless women.

A character's dog is killed right in front of them. The dog is then carried away and buried. The dog looks very realistic, adding to an already disturbing scene.

The most graphic of the "Shaft" movies. Lots of neck crushing, and fairly graphic depictions of arm crushing as well. Some bloodshed. Lots of violence.
