Aweigh We Go - S1-E12

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)

Other mistake: As corvette guy races to get away from Ponch, the steering wheel breaks away, coming loose in his grip. Yet the car magically veers a sharp left before halting to a stop, instead crashing into the trees straight ahead of him.

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.
