The Kirkoff Case - S1-E2

Revealing mistake: Rockford checks out of the publication featuring the bulletin article about the Greens headed for the Greek Islands. The camera lingers on it, and you can read it's all filler gibberish about investigations and such. (00:17:35)

The Kirkoff Case - S1-E2

Continuity mistake: When Rockford decks Travis with a punch, the shadow he projects on the door and wall is much shorter in the wider angle compared to the close-up. (00:11:20)

Backlash of the Hunter - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: When Rockford pops from behind the cement mixer truck, he casts no shadow above the vehicle's wheel in the long shot, he does in the close-up.

Backlash of the Hunter - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: The bad guys destroy Rockford's car, which in an old school trope explodes (even if it makes little sense that it would). The explosion raises a column of thick black smoke as the car burns...which is just gone after.

Backlash of the Hunter - S1-E1

Revealing mistake: During the whole climactic duel between plane and car, despite the setting in the desertic outskirts of Vegas, aerial view show already from the beginning several tire tracks from previous takes. (01:30:00)

Backlash of the Hunter - S1-E1

Revealing mistake: Jim Rockford rushes towards the shooting when Jerry just shot the priest; he takes a sharp turn following skidmarks from previous takes. (01:18:00)

Backlash of the Hunter - S1-E1

Revealing mistake: When Jerry guns down the reverend, the person falling forward wears a remarkable grey wig - you can spot black hair on his neck area, even. (00:34:55)

Backlash of the Hunter - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: The minister escapes from the car and across the street; Jerry points his gun at him. The driver of the still car has his hand at 12 o'clock on the wheel in one shot, but did not in the previous. (00:34:35)

Backlash of the Hunter - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: After engaging in off-screen various recreational activities right under his photo, Sara is telling the story of her father per Jim's request "One time, I couldn't find him for three weeks", she says; Jim's hand was on her lower back, it starts behind her head here. (01:15:00)

Backlash of the Hunter - S1-E1

Other mistake: The bad guy collapses after drinking what Sara gave him, but in the close-up she managed to squeeze barely 1 drop of the substance and it went right on top of the horizontal ice cube. It must be the most powerful narcotic in the world, putting KO a mountain of a man within seconds with a single drop that arguably didn't even mix with the drink. Had she put a couple drops in, it would have straight up murdered him, then.

Backlash of the Hunter - S1-E1

Other mistake: Jerry Grimes follows Rockford to the theater, sits at the bar, orders bourbon and water and waits for Jim to come out of the bathroom. Jim meanwhile set up a trap for him, which somehow does not affect anyone else, and Jerry ends up getting roughed up. He then drives off to this other joint, where he sits at the bar...which happens to be the exact same bar with the exact same posters as the other one.

Backlash of the Hunter - S1-E1

Revealing mistake: The exterior shot of the house of the rich Miss Elias preceding Dr. Ruben Seelman's phone call, is a zoom on a static photography with a visible line on it. It is reused later in the episode (after Jim pulverizes his own picture in the phone book), with the exact same telling line. (00:30:20)

Sammo ★

Backlash of the Hunter - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: When Dr. Ruben Seelman stands to add 'just one more thing' before Jim leaves, he's holding a pen and a bone in hand, but just the pen remains in the following shot. (00:29:50)

Backlash of the Hunter - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: At the odd restaurant where Rockford puts on the rather flashy tie, continuity is spotty when the two sit down to have dinner. The position of the menu and Sara's arm are obviously changing with the reverse shots. (00:26:15)

Sammo ★

Backlash of the Hunter - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: Rockford goes to police to ask Dennis Becker about the case. He leans against the wall as they chat, but his left hand is blatantly at different height in the two different angles that alternate. (00:24:30)

Sammo ★

Backlash of the Hunter - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: Sara tells Rockford that the mysterious woman is, according to her brother, very attractive. Rockford has in hand the same glass her just put down as he made the joke about her being dredged from the river. (00:19:30)

Sammo ★

Backlash of the Hunter - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: After meeting the brother of his client, Jim Rockford sits at the table with her. The cup has its handle pointed towards her hand, away from the hand in the reverse shot. (00:18:10)

Sammo ★

Backlash of the Hunter - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: Rockford's client sits down and signs the bank check without any fuss. During the whole conversation that happens and follows, Sara Butler is casting a shadow on the grill behind her in the wide angles, on the wall by it in the close-ups. (00:14:00)

Man Overboard: Part 2 - S6-E6

DI Jack Mooney: Strictly speaking, paradise is a state of mind. You know that, right? I mean, the dung beetle - very different idea of paradise, doesn't he? (00:48:25)

Stumped in Murder - S6-E4

Officer Dwayne Myers: You sure you know what you're looking at, Chief?
DI Humphrey Goodman: Yes, yes, I think I know my spark plugs from my, uh...my seat belts. (00:17:50)
