Revealing mistake: A load of PVC pipe is secured to the truck with three straps. When the driver yanks on the rear strap, which comes off easily, the other two straps automatically become disengaged allowing the load to fall off the truck. (00:20:20)
CHiPs (1977)
1 revealing mistake in season 1
Starring: Brodie Greer, Erik Estrada, Larry Wilcox, Robert Pine
Continuity mistake: When the phony cop pulls up beside the woman at the train/sports car MVA the emergency lights on the front of his bike are white, but when he is being chased by the real cop they are red, even when they are not on.
Trivia: Although many realistic freeway numbers and exits mentioned over the 2-way radio are real, they were not used in the show. An unused section of the 210 freeway (close to the 118 freeway) in the San Fernando Valley that wasn't quite open to the public yet, was the location nearly always shown on the show representing whatever location is mentioned. If you see many episodes, you can see the same section of freeway always shown.
