Mistake Continuity: Season 2, episode 2, 'Kids': During the raging brush fire, the scoop stretcher is sent down the cliff to the paramedics in the canyon. Once Gage has it and then drags it towards DeSoto, the boxes and gear switch positions between shots. Submitted by Rikki

Edit

Screen shot Revealing: Squad 51 has a flashing light-bar mounted on the roof of the vehicle. There is about 4-5" of space between the length of the light frame and the roof, which means that Squad 51's surrounding environment is easily visible through that gap in normal shots. The hiccup here are certain close-ups of Gage and DeSoto while they're 'driving', because that gap is covered (with red to match the vehicle) and sometimes, when it's daylight, the gap is dark. The same thing happens with the space behind the cab unit (seen through the window), with the red blocking the opening. Submitted by Rikki

Edit

Screen shot Continuity: Season 1, episode 3, 'Botulism': When DeSoto and Gage arrive at Rampart their black helmets are not hanging in Squad 51, when they enter the hospital. A moment later, when they're dispatched, both helmets are hanging in their proper place behind the seat. The distance between the squad and ambulance has also increased. Submitted by Rikki

Edit

Mistake Continuity: Season 2, episode 10, 'Dinner Date': When the paramedics and the rest of the firemen gather round the failed pacemaker patient, their positions change and in DeSoto's close-ups the Captain isn't seen (for the camera angle's sake), although in other shots he's right beside Gage.

Edit

Mistake Continuity: Season 2, episode 5, 'Peace Pipe': Before being shot at, when Gage and DeSoto climb up to the scaffolding, Gage lifts the man's head to rest on the scaffolding and stays that way in each of the following close-ups, but in the following four wideshots his head still hangs over the side.

Edit

Mistake Continuity: Season 2, episode 5, 'Peace Pipe': When Kelly and Gage have at it about the portrayal of Native Americans in film, DeSoto quips, "What are you picking on me for?" as he faces Gage in front of him. Gage then walks to the other side of the table and after he says, "We call that white man royalty syndrome," he puts his arm around Kelly, standing beside him. We are then shown DeSoto's reaction shot, who still faces Gage in the same direction as his earlier quip, and we also see Kelly behind him, but no Gage. Submitted by Rikki

Screen shot Continuity: Season 1, episode 4, 'Cook's Tour': At the station, when Gage and DeSoto are eating the meal DeSoto prepared, the sealed milk container is suddenly open and then sealed again, between shots. It changes position as well. Submitted by Rikki

Edit

Mistake Continuity: Season 2, episode 6, 'Saddled': When DeSoto joins Gage at the kitchen table they discuss Gage's bright idea of rodeos. In all the shots facing DeSoto his hands are clasped together with the coffee cup on the table, but in all the shots facing his partner, he's holding the cup of coffee. The magazine ends up under DeSoto's arms between shots as well. Submitted by Rikki

Edit

Mistake Revealing: In at least three episodes, which include 'Saddled', 'Peace Pipe' and 'Women', the same corner restaurant/hot dog stand (with a striped orange/white awning and green vinyl bar stools) is featured. That would be fine, if it weren't for the fact that in each episode the street it is located on has a different name and different cross streets. It is obviously a set on the Universal Studios lot.

Edit

Mistake Continuity: Season 2, episode 12, 'Helpful': When DeSoto starts to crack about what's upsetting him, Gage places a mop beside another mop, up against the door and it falls over. Next shot both mops are upright and in different positions as well. Submitted by Rikki

Screen shot Continuity: Season 2, episode 9, 'Women': When Christy walks into Station 51's kitchen, the bag strap is on her shoulder, but close-up it is gone, only to be back next shot when she removes it a moment later. Submitted by Rikki

Edit

Mistake Continuity: Season 2, episode 5, 'Peace Pipe': When DeSoto and Gage arrive at the corner shop for the gum ball machine rescue, in the overhead shot the front end of the parked RV is beside the lamppost, but in the next shot half its body is past the fixture. Submitted by Rikki

Edit

Mistake Continuity: Season 1, episode 6, 'Dealer's Wild': When Frankie lands the Cessna, the red seatbelt is in place behind him. When Gage and DeSoto reach the plane that seatbelt has been pulled across the side wall, over the door, with its end pushed between the windshield and ceiling. Done deliberately so Gage can enter that door unhindered. Submitted by Rikki

Edit

Mistake Continuity: Season 1, episode 10, 'Dilemma': Responding to the elevator call, in the overhead shot, Rescue Squad 51 pulls up adjacent to the street awning when Gage and DeSoto get out, but in the next ground shot the Squad is 20-25 feet farther down. Submitted by Rikki

Edit

Mistake Continuity: Season 1, episode 8, 'Publicity Hound': When John first explains how to rescue the little girl in the hole, he wraps his left hand around his right wrist, but in the next shot it's his right hand that's around his left wrist. Submitted by Rikki

Screen shot Revealing: Season 2, episode 12, 'Helpful': Enroute to the pick-up truck hanging from the freeway on-ramp, there is a flipped shot of Engine 51 and Squad 51 as they drive under the freeway before the camera pans in towards the car. Some giveaways are the reversed '51' on the Engine and the reversed 'road construction ahead' sign. Submitted by Rikki

Mistake Continuity: Season 2, episode 1, 'Decision' (aka 'Problem'): When the guys begin to use the pulley system to lift the car engine off the injured man, the women stand to the officer's left (viewer's right), but in the next close-up it is switched, then back again in the wideshot. Submitted by Rikki

Edit

Mistake Continuity: On the front end of Squad 51's hood, the letters of the word 'DODGE' appear either in silver or in red, or sometimes it's not there altogether. Submitted by Rikki
