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
Revealing mistake: When the car falls off a cliff at the end, it's an entirely different looking model with different headlights (square vs round), and empty (at least nobody in the passenger seat for sure). (00:46:30)
The Countess - S1-E4
Revealing mistake: In the climax of the episode, the car goes off a cliff when Rockford steers abruptly. Definitely not your ordinary maneuver, but other people must have chosen to commit suicide in that spot, since there are previous tire marks of a sudden turn in that exact spot. (00:49:20)
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)
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: 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: 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: 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
Audio problem: The Countess' husband looks annoyed at the teenager frolicking in the pool. The sound does not match Sally's mouth. (00:10:30)
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: 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
Other mistake: Rockford films the car driving off, then there are a few seconds of pause, with James Garner not keeping the camera still anymore and tilting it in different directions, before someone unseen bellows at him "What are you doing?" When he reviews the footage with his client in his trailer, the voice arrives instantly and there's no jerking the camera around. (00:06:20)
The Dark and Bloody Ground - S1-E3
Visible crew/equipment: At the race track, Rockford sits down with the two party hosts and Elliot Malcolm. Clyde Russell's sunglasses reflect set lights, and her lenses reflect equipment (and a distinct lack of James Garner) in close-ups. (00:33:45)
The Dark and Bloody Ground - S1-E3
Revealing mistake: Rockford puts the newspaper snippet in front of her client. The poorly constructed prop has the first 2 paragraphs a perfect repeat of each other. (00:28:25)
The Dark and Bloody Ground - S1-E3
Revealing mistake: In another attempt to his life, Rockford has to somehow stop his car when his brakes have been sabotaged. However, at the end of its run the brakes are activated, suddenly locking the back wheels, causing the car to stop, and not the slow-down determined by the dirt mound. (00:25:15)
The Dark and Bloody Ground - S1-E3
Continuity mistake: Jim is back home, and is talking to his dad. Rocky says a firm "No" when Jim says that the guy in the truck was trying to kill him; he points his right index finger as he says the word. Reverse shot, and it's the left index. (00:23:30)
The Dark and Bloody Ground - S1-E3
Revealing mistake: Chased by the truck, Rockford passes a brown Chevy Malibu that was bottling him. At the wheel of the truck there's a stuntman with a 'stache and not the same actor in the close-ups. (00:17:00)
The Dark and Bloody Ground - S1-E3
Continuity mistake: During the chase with the Mack truck, Rockford's car in the POV shots from the car tire is edging the side of the road with a ditch really close, but in the other angles the surroundings don't have such an immediate threat close by. (00:16:10)
Revealing mistake: When the cars run past the water sprinkler, the curve has been already marked by several tire tracks. (00:44:25)
