Corrected entry: When the Torino hits the ground after the jump, at the start of the closing credits, it is obvious that the car sustains frame damage. You can see the sheet metal buckle behind the front fender.

Starsky & Hutch (2004)
Corrected entry: During the chase scene at the end of the film, careful scrutiny of the Torino will reveal a small camera mounted low on the outside of the driver's door. There are heavy duty skid plates underneath the front of the Torino also visible in several, but not all scenes. The skid plates are not a normal feature of a Ford Gran Torino.
Correction: Neither were the custom wheels, the tires and perhaps other assorted goodies Starsky added himself. Knowing he'd be driving this car hard, who knows if he added the skid plates? Unless seen and NOT seen from shot to consecutive shot within a scene, the plates themselves are not an error.

Starsky & Hutch (2004)
Corrected entry: About 20 minutes into the movie, there is a scene which begins with Starsky typing at his desk. The clock on the pillar behind him read about 9:50, but his watch shows 5:20.
Correction: People forget to wind their watches or replace the batteries all the time.

Correction: The buckling of sheet metal only tells us the frame has flexed enough to allow the skin around it to buckle. It does not mean it is permanently damaged. But even if it did, a car is often still operable with frame damage.
