Corrected entry: When the movie crew sets up the shot of Adam West jumping off a ledge to save the dog, the clapboard they use has the name of Bobby Byrne on it as Director of Photography for the movie "The Spy Who Laughed at Danger". Byrne is the actual D of P for the movie 'Hooper', so they simply used the same clapboard for the Adam West shot. On that same clapboard you can see where they erased director Hal Needham's name from it and substituted the fictional director's name "Roger Deal", who was played by Robert Klein.
Hooper (1978)

Continuity mistake: One can easily see that was not a Trans Am that made the big jump, but whatever it was mysteriously turns back into one when it lands on the other side.
Jocko Doyle: You oughta drink more. Nothing hurts when you're numb.
Trivia: When everyone's back at Sonny's ranch watching his old stunt films, the footage with him getting thrown from a canoe in a river was from his movie "Deliverance".
