The Countess - S1-E4
Continuity mistake: In close-up, Rockford's TV set is placed against a plain yellow plaster wall, but the wide view reveals it's in front of a window in his trailer. There's a tape player on top of it too, which was entirely absent in the close-up composite shot. (00:06:50)
The Countess - S1-E4
Continuity mistake: Rockford pours liquor to The Countess in a plastic cup; whoever is doing that in close-up is not wearing a wristwatch, James Garner in the rest of the scene does. (00:07:30)
The Countess - S1-E4
Continuity mistake: At the party, Rockford and The Countess are inside, and she's telling him about the early boyfriends she had in Chicago. She asks him if he's following, and he says yes. James Garner projects a marked shadow on the wall next to him, but while Deborah Ryder was talking, his shadow was much more to the right, past the barometer. (00:12:30)
The Countess - S1-E4
Continuity mistake: Rockford is on the beach trying to intimidate Carl Brego. The wind messes up Dick Gautier's hair lifting it on the left side, but only in the frontal shots. (00:17:20)
The Countess - S1-E4
Continuity mistake: Rockford is chasing the white Porsche. In the shot right before the close-up when the police siren is heard, the pursuing Rockford passes by a teal pick-up and road work equipment. Rockford keeps driving through a mostly straight road for a while, and eventually pulls over, looking with anger at the Porsche driving off...and past the pickup and equipment from before. (00:19:40 - 00:20:20)
The Countess - S1-E4
Continuity mistake: The bow tie cop cuffs Rockford up; his boot is closer to Jim's shoulder in close-ups. (00:20:45)
The Countess - S1-E4
Continuity mistake: At the police station, Beth Davenport dares the sexist Lieutenant to book Jim for murder. James Garner's shadow is several inches shorter than the corner of the bulletin board. The shadow is much different in that area during the single close-up that follows. (00:25:30)
The Countess - S1-E4
Continuity mistake: Outside the police station, Rockford talks with his lawyer. Beth Davenport in close-ups is talking through the car window that is clear of any other presence, but Jim is leaning against it in the other shots. (00:27:00)
The Countess - S1-E4
Continuity mistake: Released by the police the first time, Rockford goes back to his trailer parking the car. Notice the right wheels perfectly within the parking space lines. When he realises someone broke into his trailer and messed his tape up, he gets back to his car, which is now badly parked taking two spots. (00:28:00 - 00:29:20)
The Countess - S1-E4
Continuity mistake: Rockford mistakes his kidnappers for cops and tells them that they'd better have a warrant. While he elaborates on that, there's a cut and the pursuing cars are gone from the back window view. (00:38:30)
