The Rockford Files

The Rockford Files (1974)

3 factual errors in season 1 - chronological order

(6 votes)

The Countess - S1-E4

Factual error: Two cops (the bowtie guy that cuffs Rockford and the one that watches him being taken away from his trailer) report to HQ saying that the protagonist is a suspect for a 157, to which Rockford reacts saying he did not murder anyone (and it is in fact what he is accused of). But homicide is in CA police code 187, not 157. A 157 is an entirely different felony. (00:21:00)

Sammo

Tall Woman in Red Wagon - S1-E6

Factual error: This episode takes place in Elmira, California. Sandra tells Rockford that it is about 150 miles south. Rockford is in Los Angeles (it is later confirmed that so is Sandra, Longview to be precise) and Elmira is in Solano County, about 400 miles north.

Beth Davenport: And Jim, try to be nice.
Jim Rockford: Are you kidding? You don't mouth off to anything that big. He looks like 190 pounds of gristle.
