Continuity mistake: The scene is shot in a traffic jam on the freeway. The sky has a gray overcast. All close up shots of the irate female driver were filmed in a studio - the background is flat and is a vivid blue. (00:04:00)
CHiPs (1977)
Starring: Brodie Greer, Erik Estrada, Larry Wilcox, Robert Pine
Visible crew/equipment: A pick-up truck driver is driving recklessly, runs into the back of a light blue car and rolls over. The ramp attached to the back of the car is visible. Even in the next shot when the car driver gets out the car, the ramp is still there. Then in the next shot when Jon is trying to calm the driver down the ramp is gone. (00:05:45)
Continuity mistake: When the phony cop pulls up beside the woman at the train/sports car MVA the emergency lights on the front of his bike are white, but when he is being chased by the real cop they are red, even when they are not on.
Trivia: Although many realistic freeway numbers and exits mentioned over the 2-way radio are real, they were not used in the show. An unused section of the 210 freeway (close to the 118 freeway) in the San Fernando Valley that wasn't quite open to the public yet, was the location nearly always shown on the show representing whatever location is mentioned. If you see many episodes, you can see the same section of freeway always shown.
