Other mistake: Both Rockford's appointments are at 8 o'clock. He shows up for the one with the mysterious person; gets beaten up, dragged to a warehouse (presumably remote, from what it is shown), beaten up some more to the point of spitting out a tooth, he is then at LAPD, where everyone hates him and definitely does not prioritize his case, he makes Becker search for the warehouse's registration, which needs for him to call in favours, and he turns then up for Tawnia's appointment at 9. With all the stuff that happened, and with the typical LA traffic, it'd already be something to be a mere one hour late without all the rest in the middle of it. Even his wound is kinda healed in that short time.

Jim Rockford: We're all scared to death. I guess that's a penalty we pay for living in a world where all the price tags end in 99 cents and they sell mortuary plots on billboards next to the freeway. What you do is, just keep laughing. (00:48:30)
Trivia: Noah Beery Jr. Plays "Rocky" Rockford, father of Jim Rockford (James Garner). In real life, Beery Jr. was only 15 years older than Garner.
