Visible crew/equipment: During the final chase, Jaclyn Smith's double stuntwoman is extremely evident. (00:43:45)
Unidentified Flying Angels - S2-E9
Continuity mistake: During the flight, Kelly gives Britten the OK sign (thumbs up). In the first shot, she uses her right thumb; but, in the next shot she uses her left thumb. (00:30:20)
One of Our Angels is Missing - S4-E16
Revealing mistake: Fake backgrounds and stuntmen are extremely evident throughout the entire episode.
Angel Blues - S2-E21
Visible crew/equipment: The shot reveals that it is not Jaclyn Smith at the controls, but a stuntwoman. (00:34:30)
Plot hole: After Sabrina and Tarloff have finished their rehearsal, Kris is able to pick the real sword with no hesitation. There are still six swords left in the basket (one is real, five are fake). They all look the same, so how could Kris know the exact position of the real one? (00:43:30)
Visible crew/equipment: During the scene in the Sheriff's car, after the Angels choke the Sheriff and Deputy, they lose control of the car. It goes off the road and a ramp is seen, hidden by some trees, that the car goes off to end up in the swamp.
Continuity mistake: Sabrina is in New York and she stays at Tuxedo Hotel; her room number is 325. However in a close shot of the key chain, it seems that she stays at another hotel (something like Zarac Hotel), while her room number is 1207. (00:20:30)
Continuity mistake: Kelly is talking with Mrs. Brendleberry, when all of a sudden everything starts to move. In the room there is a chandelier, which is shaking. However, if we watch the mirror, we will notice that the chandelier is still. (00:26:00)
Continuity mistake: Sabrina is sharpening a pencil in her office at the police department. She wears two rings: one on her left little finger and one on her left ring finger (long shot). In a subsequent long shot, the ring on the ring finger has disappeared. (00:05:35 - 00:06:50)
Revealing mistake: Kelly is chased by a car and she's running on a field. She falls and she lies on the ground. The image has been reversed (mirror image): as you can notice, the KBEX logo on her jacket is reversed. (00:32:35)
Audio problem: The Angels are in Max's office. Kris says, "Jill skates like a pro and I get this assignment and all the bruises." When she says "all the bruises," her lips are not moving. (00:19:20)
Continuity mistake: In a close up shot, we see Ernesto's hands holding a nutcracker. In the following long shot, he holds a different nutcracker. (00:11:50)
Visible crew/equipment: The Killer follows Jill, Kelly and Bosley to Charlie's Mansion. There's a shot of him getting out of his car and the film crew is reflected in his door.
Night of the Strangler - S1-E3
Continuity mistake: Heinz Brandon gives Jill a medal. Jill's nails are rather long and shining. In the next shot, we see Jill's hands holding the medal: now her nails are very short and not shining. (00:40:05)
Continuity mistake: After the chase in the potato truck, the Angels are missing the handcuffs around their wrists. But they can't have removed them: they didn't have a key, they only removed the cuffs from the connecting chains, and after they cut off the chains, they were in the truck until they pulled over.
Visible crew/equipment: The Angels are being stalked by a hired killer. He tries to shot Jill in the boys' locker room where shes teaching basketball. He shoots at her and hits a fire extinguisher. You can see the "plug" for the charge on the extinguisher before he shoots and hits it.
Continuity mistake: There is a mistake in the opening of Season 2 and Season 3. When Charlie says "I took them away from all that and now they work for me", we see Kelly, Sabrina and Kris meeting in front of the Police Department. That is not possible: Kelly and Sabrina attended the Police Academy in Los Angeles, while Kris was in San Francisco. Kelly and Sabrina didn't even know that Kris had graduated from the Police Academy. (00:00:25)
Continuity mistake: Jill and Kelly hijack a cab to stop the killer from bombing Charlie's cab. On the way back to the mansion they pass Charlie's cab and almost run into a large truck. They miss the truck, but Charlie's cab hits it head on, doing some serious damage to the cab's front end. After they stop the killer, Charlie's cab arrives and now has no damage.
Continuity mistake: After the Angels escape the Sheriff's car, they run to a barn. They spot a truck with the back loaded above the cab, with potato boxes. They steal the truck and when they pull out from beside the barn, the truck only has half the amount of boxes. No boxes can be seen higher than the sides of the truck. They don't pull out quick enough for the boxes to fall off.
Continuity mistake: The Angels, Bosley, Hollister and Avery are all in the same hotel room. Avery switches a case full of money with an empty one. Kris notices this and she switches the cases again. She wears a pink bracelet. However, while she is switching the cases, her bracelet is green. (00:50:30)
Answer: After going through a number of cast changes that failed to improve the show's slumping ratings, Tanya Roberts' character was added as "street-wise" former model. This was probably an effort to give a different and edgier character dimension to the show.
