Continuity mistake: While Beth and Susan are at the restaurant talking about Susan's company, in the shots facing Susan there's an ashtray beside the salt and pepper shakers, but in shots facing Beth that ashtray has vanished and in its stead are cigarettes and a lighter. (00:06:40)
Continuity mistake: At the airport, there's a wheel chock wedged against the airplane's nose wheel when Chris climbs into the cockpit, and as Rockford walks away we hear Chris starting the engine, but in the next shot that wheel chock has vanished to allow Chris to steer the airplane forward, toward the taxiway. (00:27:00)
Continuity mistake: At the airport, when Chris is in the cockpit of the "blue and yellow single engine" the aircraft's N-number is N8825H, but when Chris is on his way to Oregon the airplane hits the water, and its tail number is now N4372K. (00:27:10)
Continuity mistake: When Rockford is with Agent Kleinhoff on the tarmac, the airplane Rockford boards has N-number N664CL, but the airplane that takes off has many more windows and a Canadian flag (it's not the 70's Air Canada logo) on its tail; then the plane in midair has N-number N953GA. Mid flight there are more discrepancies in the airplane's configuration. Finally, the airplane that lands has the original tail number N664CL. (00:06:35)
Continuity mistake: When Rockford first sees Christine during her photo session, in the wide shot Christine is brought a glass of wine which she holds in her right hand while the white flower is in her left hand; then the wine glass and flower switch hands in the next closeup. This change continues to occur in following shots. (00:18:50)
Continuity mistake: When Rocky pushes Jim to listen to Val's message, Jim stands between his desk and the wall then reaches over with his left hand (wearing the watch) to hit the play button, but in the closeup it's Jim's right hand turning the machine on, and it's from the other side of the desk. (00:05:30)
Continuity mistake: While Rocky and Jim are at the trailer discussing jury duty, when George and Fran Bassett arrive Jim tells them to come in. In the shot facing them, as they climb up the exterior steps and walk through the doorway, changes occur; there are four holes in the door trim, there's only about three inches space between the shutters and doorway, the toggle switch is down. Next shot, the four holes are gone, space between the shutters and doorway significantly increased, and the toggle switch is now up. (00:12:40)
Continuity mistake: At the end, while the Bassetts and Karen Hathaway are at Rockford's trailer, there's still damage to the door's wood trim from the earlier shooting, but when the couple exit the trailer all of that damage disappears, between shots. (00:44:10 - 00:44:55)
