In the scene where Starsky is jogging on the beach, the DJ proclaims that the song playing, Chicago's Old Days, is currently 8 on the charts. The song charted in 1975, but throughout the movie there is music from later years in the decade. Additionally, as of 1975 no company had yet invented an AM/FM headset radio, only AM to that point. Starsky has the antenna, which could only benefit FM transmission as AM antennas are built-in to headset radios, fully extended. [The headset was indeed available even before 1975 as I bought one and still have it. And it not only is FM, it's FM stereo.]

Starsky & Hutch go to apprehend the driver of the car that was shooting at them, the Korean man. They go in and his son starts throwing knives at them. They then ask the man to tell his son to stop throwing knives. The man shouts out to his son to throw ALL the knives. The son throws all the knives, and then Starsky & Hutch dive for cover - after he starts throwing knives again. Yet, when they are interrogating the Korean man, Chow, in the lock-up in the next scene, Hutch reveals that he is able to speak quite a bit of Korean - and proceeds to converse with Chow in Korean quite a bit. Obviously he knew this Korean when they were apprehending the man and he could have told the boy to STOP - or at least understood that the father told him to keep throwing. The way this is presented, and the level of Korean he exhibits in the subsequent scene is completely illogical. [Yes, it is illogical that he speaks Korean that well, but something being illogical does not make it a mistake. As for telling the son to stop throwing the knives, he did not want to lead on that he spoke Korean, because the man and son would most likely speak to each other in their native language (possibly giving information to the cops), as they would also find it illogical that Hutch could understand them.]

When Juliet Lewis is giving Vince Vaughn the back rub poolside, she leans over him to look at the pictures of Starsky & Hutch. She coos that the blonde is cute, but when they show the pictures, you can't tell what color his hair is because is it much shorter and covered by his police cap. [She did see the two earlier in the mansion, so she could remember which one had blonde hair whether it was shown in the picture or not.]

At the disco, the DJ describes a dance move which only came out in the 80's. The movie is set in the 70's. [The dance move could quite easily have been a known move of the time which only gained popularity in the 1980's. The same thing happened with Micheal Jackson's so-called "Moonwalk" which has been performed by dancers and mime artists for decades before he made it popular and widely known.]

When the Torino hits the ground after the jump, at the start of the closing credits, it is obvious that the car sustains frame damage. You can see the sheet metal buckle behind the front fender. [The buckling of sheet metal only tells us the frame has flexed enough to allow the skin around it to buckle. It does not mean it is permanently damaged. But even if it did, a car is often still operable with frame damage.]

During the chase scene at the end of the film, careful scrutiny of the Torino will reveal a small camera mounted low on the outside of the driver's door. There are heavy duty skid plates underneath the front of the Torino also visible in several, but not all scenes. The skid plates are not a normal feature of a Ford Gran Torino. [Neither were the custom wheels, the tires and perhaps other assorted goodies Starsky added himself. Knowing he'd be driving this car hard, who knows if he added the skid plates? Unless seen and NOT seen from shot to consecutive shot within a scene, the plates themselves are not an error.]

About 20 minutes into the movie, there is a scene which begins with Starsky typing at his desk. The clock on the pillar behind him read about 9:50, but his watch shows 5:20. [People forget to wind their watches or replace the batteries all the time.]

When the cheerleaders are done practicing, the cheerleader says that the one who was dating the man that died is wearing a yellow top. When the camera shows her, she is wearing a white top. [She takes off the yellow top before the scene in the locker room; she's wearing a white top underneath.]

The waitress at Reese Feldman's (played by Vince Vaughn) gala at the end, who Starsky keeps telling to "do it" was also the waitress near the start of "Swingers," who Vaughn' character gave 50 cents to. [Nope. Those are two different people. The waitress Vaughn gives 50 cents to is the same waitress him and Favreau meet at the bar later. She is not the same person as the waitress from Starsky & Hutch.]

In the scene where Hutch takes Starsky to see Huggy Bear for the first time, Hutch asks him if he's ever run personal errands, like getting coffee during work. Starsky says "I bring a thermos". The scene after Huggy Bear's, where both cops are heading to work, shows Starsky stopping off at a newsstand for coffee. I guess he lied about his thermos. [Starsky didn't want to prove Hutch right so he lied.]

When Starsky drags himself out of the apartment after having 2 knives thrown at his body, he asks for Hutch to take the knife out of his back. When Hutch does this, you can hear the crew laughing in the background. (DVD Viewing) [It's the sound from the TV in the apartment they just left.]

When Reese asks everyone to put their hand up if they've ever made a mistake, Hutch doesn't. [This is not right from two reasons: A) it could've been a mistake B) Hutch didn't wanted to reveal all his mistakes. they (him and Starsky) have followed a business man (which is the bad guy) and till the end the police thought he was an ownest man. if Hutch would say he followed him, he would be expled from the police.]

Multiple times during the movie, specially during the chase scene towards the end, skid marks can be seen from previous takes. [Those skid marks could have been from any car that had gone by before they did.]

Near the end of the movie when Starsky & Hutch are driving through the golf course, they start to fly over a bunker where a guy is hitting his ball out of the sand, but when they land there is no one in the trap. [There is a man walking out of the bunker right after the camera angle was changed.]

When Starsky & Hutch meet up with Huggy Bear for the second time in the alley, Starsky comments that he like Huggy's car. Huggy comments that "its a '76 Lincoln Continental...it won't be out 'till next year. I know some people who know some people..." The year that the movie is based on is 1976, as evidenced by the numerous 'Bicentennial celebration' markings throughout the city during the movie, as well as the waitress's 'stars and stripes' bikini in the strip bar. If it is already 1976, why does Huggy tell Starsky that his '76 Lincoln' "won't be out until next year?" ["Bicentennial fever" started a long time before 1976. Every other indication in the movie is that it is the summer of 1975. The '76 Lincoln Continental was introduced in October of '75 though, so Huggy's statement isn't entirely factual.]

Just before Starsky shoots open the bonnet on the Volkswagen,he has his gun pointed at Reece Feldman,he then cocks his gun,pulling the slide to chamber a round,meaning there wasn't a bullet in the chamber,no bullet exited the gun when he cocked it,so what was he doing pointing an empty gun at a crook. [there is no way that feldman would have known if there were any bullets in the gun...would you take that gamble especially with what he has at stake.]

When the "floater" is discovered, Starsky is heard recording the date as "Monday, June 3". But according to the alley scene later with Huggy, he has a 1976 Lincoln, which won't be out until the following year. The problem here is that in 1975, June 3 is a Tuesday. [In the US new car models that appear during the year are officially considered to be the next year's models. The same should probably apply in this case. '76 Lincoln was supposed to become publically available in '75, which means that the movie takes place in 1974. June 3, 1974 is a Monday.]

In the scene where Starsky and Hutch go to the party where the drugs are in the cars that are being given to the bad guys, Hutch calls one character "Amy", her real name, not her character's name. [Hutch's first words are "He means..." Hutch stutters when he says those words "He me, He means..." If you listen to the scene closely (or say it out loud with the stutter), you can understand how some people might hear "Amy".]

When Reese shows Kitty the police mug shots of Starsky and Hutch in uniform, she looks to her left and says how cute the blonde guy is. When the pictures are shown, Ken Hutchinson is on the right of the page. She would have been staring at Starsky when she made her blonde quip. [She could have looked at Hutch's picture first, then looked at Starsky's picture while she was commenting on Hutch. People don't always have to be looking right at someone when they comment on their appearance.]

In the scene where Starsky & Hutch go to arrest the Korean man who shot at them, the man's son throws knives at them. The son hits Starsky 2 times and Hutch 1 time. When Starsky & Hutch are in the hallway they only remove 1 knife from each of them. You can count the number of knives they drop on the floor. [Actually, you see Starsky remove the knife in his leg, then Hutch removes his, and then he pulls out the knife in Starsky's back, so there are three knives.]
