** The Latin American Spanish dub replaced all the voice cast from the previous films, including the voice actors of the three Shafts. In this case, this is quite justified, because the voice actors of these three characters were either unavailable (like Blas Garcia, who voiced Shaft Sr. in the original film), or deceased (Alfonso Ramirez, who voiced Shaft Sr. in the [[DuelingDubs second Mexican dub of the first film]], and Luis Alfonso Padilla, who voiced JJ Shaft in ''Film/Shaft2000'')
** In the Japanese dub, Hiroshi Naka replaced the late Yoshisada Sakaguchi as JJ Shaft.

** The same goes in the Japanese dub, through only with JJ Shaft, as his voice actor, Hideaki Tezuka, voiced him in the dub of the [[Film/{{Shaft|2000}} 2000 film]].
