Backlash of the Hunter - S1-E1
Continuity mistake: In the phone call at the beginning of the episode, once Jerry answers it cuts to Mildred, and then back to Jimmy, but in a mirrored shot. He's to the other side of the door and holds the receiver in the other hand. (00:03:11)
Backlash of the Hunter - S1-E1
Continuity mistake: When Sara opens the yellow pages phone directory, in the wide shots she's looking at Rockford's information on the left page of the open book, but in the closeup Rockford's ad appears on the right page of the open book. (00:10:15)
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)
Backlash of the Hunter - S1-E1
Continuity mistake: Rockford checks out of the client's cheque with both hands in the wide shot, just one in the close-up. (00:14:15)
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)
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)
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)
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)
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: 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: Rockford's car has license plate number "835-OKG" at the front of his car, but license plate number "853-OKG" at the back of his car, a few times during the episode. (00:35:40 - 00:37:50)
Backlash of the Hunter - S1-E1
Continuity mistake: When Rockford walks into the Mayfair bathroom there's a guy at one of the sinks. The style of the sink and faucet is entirely different between the closeups and wide shots. (00:46:00)
Backlash of the Hunter - S1-E1
Continuity mistake: While Rockford is in the Mayfair bathroom he deliberately spills soap on the floor, and when he places his hand in his pocket to remove the roll of coins the closeup is a flipped shot. Note the direction of the buttons. (00:46:55)
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
Continuity mistake: When Sara uses Rockford's knockout drops in Jerry's drink, Sara's manicured fingernails are quite long in the closeup yet considerably shorter otherwise. The ring on Sara's ring finger also changes to a very large turquoise ring in the closeup.
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.
