The Big Ripoff - S1-E8

Revealing mistake: During the opening set in Switzerland, all the cars have Swiss license plates from Lausanne with the Vaud canton emblem, but every single one of them has them mounted on license plate holders of the wrong size, showing that they all are cars from a different region/market.

The Big Ripoff - S1-E8

Continuity mistake: Jim is at the table of the cafe as the woman he is observing stops the car in front of a building. A man in the faraway shot walks past the car and the door it stopped in front of, but when we see the woman get out of the car in the next shot, the man is just only now entering in frame and moving past the car. (00:02:35)

Backlash of the Hunter - S1-E1

Stupidity: Rockford knows almost nothing about the guy who is tailing him except that he noticed him while he was grabbing a bite with his client. Regardless of that, he sends the same client to seduce him, just assuming that he won't be able to recognize her. And it works. Is Lindsay Wagner this hard to forget, that this guy just an hour or two later isn't able to tell it's the same woman his target was meeting?

This Case Is Closed - S1-E7

Continuity mistake: At the taco stand, Jim asks Susan "What's your problem?" She answers while a guy who was nowhere in sight before passes behind her. (00:53:15)

This Case Is Closed - S1-E7

Continuity mistake: Rockford is incredulous about getting away so easily with a chore, and asks his dad "You mean it's not gonna cost me or anything?" Rocky has his can of beer up high, but in the reverse shot his arm is on the armrest. (00:41:30)

This Case Is Closed - S1-E7

Continuity mistake: At the Feds' office, Rockford asks FBI Agent David Shore "Would you tell me what's going on?", with his hand on top of the mug. The hand was around it before the cut. (00:35:25)

This Case Is Closed - S1-E7

Revealing mistake: Torrance Beck and his men load Rockford on the car to dispose of him. They get ambushed, with 2 cars suddenly turning 90° blocking the road. Unexpected? Perhaps, but look at the asphalt; apparently it's a regular thing in that part of the road. There are already skidmarks reproducing the exact same movement. (00:33:30)

This Case Is Closed - S1-E7

Continuity mistake: After the fiasco at the gambling table, Rockford goes back to his motel. He parks his car pretty badly, oblique with the front wheel very far from the parking line. When he tries to chase the two 'chamber of commerce' gangsters, the car is waiting for him nicely parked. (00:27:30 - 00:30:30)

This Case Is Closed - S1-E7

Audio problem: Warner Jameson is making perfectly clear to Jim how much in control he is. When he says that he plays a mean game, part of the audio is dubbed in and does not mix with the rest. (00:21:40)

This Case Is Closed - S1-E7

Continuity mistake: At the party in Rockford's flashback, Loren says "Say Cathy, what about some backgammon?" Behind him, some chap with bad blonde hair and beige shorts and polo shirt walks from left to right. Reverse shot, and the same guy is walking behind Rockford. (00:17:10)

This Case Is Closed - S1-E7

Continuity mistake: When Rockford is allowed to remove the blind man's glasses, the pen and pencil in front of the boss jump closer to the open journal. (00:13:10)

This Case Is Closed - S1-E7

Continuity mistake: Jim got the address of the car and realises it was a fellow private detective who was following him. He then goes to answer the door. He opens it looking straight forward in the first shot, but in the reverse angle he is foolishly looking away allowing the goons to surprise him. (00:10:55)

This Case Is Closed - S1-E7

Visible crew/equipment: The mysterious person who was chasing Rockford apparently loses him in the parking lot. As he drives away, on the sidewalk there's filming equipment by the entrance of the lot, and it cuts to an angle that is exactly what they were filming. (00:06:50)

This Case Is Closed - S1-E7

Continuity mistake: Rockford rear-ends an unsuspecting fella that is paying the parking. He moves the car in the wide shot (he has to, the whole point is that he's pushing the car out of the way and bypassing the bars), but in the close-ups of the guy the car hasn't budged an inch. (00:05:40)

Sammo ★

This Case Is Closed - S1-E7

Continuity mistake: Rockford speeds up to shake off the guy that is following him. They both take a sharp turn, but the pursuer almost collides with another car. Next time Rockford's car is shown after that, the driver is wearing just a red shirt, not Rockford's houndstooth jacket. (00:05:30)

Sammo ★

This Case Is Closed - S1-E7

Revealing mistake: Rockford is at the public phone with his client; during the scene, the same extras (guy with grey jacket and pink shirt, a nun and others) keep walking keep and forth in the lobby all the time. (00:02:30)

Tall Woman in Red Wagon - S1-E6

Factual error: At the end of the episode, Rockford regains consciousness while the doctor tells the nurse; "500 cc of adrenaline, stat." Five hundred cc means half a litre. It would kill a whale. (00:43:45)

Tall Woman in Red Wagon - S1-E6

Continuity mistake: At the hospital, Charlotte Duskey takes a dramatic pause before saying "The money was mine." First shot; hands on her chest. Second, no hands. (00:40:20)

Tall Woman in Red Wagon - S1-E6

Revealing mistake: Harry Stoner is unconscious when Rockford and Sandra push him into the overhead couchette, but you can see his head raise independently from Rockford's sideways push shortly after he lands in it. (00:35:50)

Sammo ★

Tall Woman in Red Wagon - S1-E6

Revealing mistake: Rockford and Sandra have conned the conductor into going back to Agent Stoner. An outside shot of the train shows the wagons with mirrored numbers. (00:34:05)
