This Case Is Closed - S1-E7

Continuity mistake: After the fiasco at the gambling table, Rockford goes back to his motel. He parks his car pretty badly, oblique with the front wheel very far from the parking line. When he tries to chase the two 'chamber of commerce' gangsters, the car is waiting for him nicely parked. (00:27:30 - 00:30:30)

This Case Is Closed - S1-E7

Continuity mistake: At the party in Rockford's flashback, Loren says "Say Cathy, what about some backgammon?" Behind him, some chap with bad blonde hair and beige shorts and polo shirt walks from left to right. Reverse shot, and the same guy is walking behind Rockford. (00:17:10)

This Case Is Closed - S1-E7

Continuity mistake: When Rockford is allowed to remove the blind man's glasses, the pen and pencil in front of the boss jump closer to the open journal. (00:13:10)

This Case Is Closed - S1-E7

Continuity mistake: Jim got the address of the car and realises it was a fellow private detective who was following him. He then goes to answer the door. He opens it looking straight forward in the first shot, but in the reverse angle he is foolishly looking away allowing the goons to surprise him. (00:10:55)

This Case Is Closed - S1-E7

Continuity mistake: Rockford rear-ends an unsuspecting fella that is paying the parking. He moves the car in the wide shot (he has to, the whole point is that he's pushing the car out of the way and bypassing the bars), but in the close-ups of the guy the car hasn't budged an inch. (00:05:40)

This Case Is Closed - S1-E7

Continuity mistake: Rockford speeds up to shake off the guy that is following him. They both take a sharp turn, but the pursuer almost collides with another car. Next time Rockford's car is shown after that, the driver is wearing just a red shirt, not Rockford's houndstooth jacket. (00:05:30)

Tall Woman in Red Wagon - S1-E6

Continuity mistake: At the hospital, Charlotte Duskey takes a dramatic pause before saying "The money was mine." First shot; hands on her chest. Second, no hands. (00:40:20)

Tall Woman in Red Wagon - S1-E6

Continuity mistake: Rockford asks his client if she ever played doctor. What follows is a shot of the train during the night, but it's reversed - the train number is mirrored. It was not when the train was getting into the station. (00:31:50)

Tall Woman in Red Wagon - S1-E6

Continuity mistake: Stoner is getting his train ticket. Two guys get theirs before he does and take a seat. One has dark shades and a dark green pattern shirt, the other a hat and a yellow shirt. Those guys make their exit in the background when Rockford is on the phone with Joe Baron Jr, two times several seconds apart. A girl with a teal dress was also in their first shot and she as well leaves at least two times. (00:27:40)

Tall Woman in Red Wagon - S1-E6

Continuity mistake: When Rockford gets "damn tired" of the pursuer and builds speed in reverse, the guy in the car reacts right before the cut moving the right hand away from the wheel to switch gear. In following shots though, he is still being slow, frozen with both hands on the wheel and only after another while coming to his senses and attempting to put the vehicle in reverse as well. (00:23:50)

Tall Woman in Red Wagon - S1-E6

Continuity mistake: Rockford and his client are having lunch with Harry Stoner. When Sandra says "I've known Charlie Duskey..." her hand is at the bottom of the cup, while in the previous and following angle her finger is at the top. (00:25:35)

Tall Woman in Red Wagon - S1-E6

Continuity mistake: Sandra eats a pickle teasing Rockford about his lack of printed fee card. The pickle is lowered or raised depending on the camera angle, first showing the end she chewed on, then the opposite. (00:06:25)

Tall Woman in Red Wagon - S1-E6

Continuity mistake: Sandra is explaining to Rockford pyramid as a "copywriting word." She puts on the table the glass, but she repeats the same gesture at the cut. Similar mistake later, when he explains his need for a "professional arrangement." Her hand is limp in midair by the glass, firmly around the glass at the cut. (00:05:25)

Tall Woman in Red Wagon - S1-E6

Continuity mistake: When Rockford is eating with Sandra, extras appear with wild inconsistencies - for instance, the woman at the table behind her, is one of the extras walking behind Rockford in a reverse shot. (00:05:30)

Tall Woman in Red Wagon - S1-E6

Continuity mistake: Rockford gets a grazing bullet wound to the right of his skull; he puts his hand to his right temple and had it been the left side, he would have been dead, looking at the angle. But in the rest of the episode turns out that he was shot in the left temple after all. (00:03:30)

Tall Woman in Red Wagon - S1-E6

Continuity mistake: When Rockford lifts the coffin from the ground, the rope is tied in different ways between shots (in the wider angle there are loose ends not present in close-up). (00:03:10)

Tall Woman in Red Wagon - S1-E6

Continuity mistake: The two workers inside the grave place their shovel parallel to the hole, but when Rockford sets up the contraption around it, the shovel is at 90°. (00:02:40)

Exit Prentiss Carr - S1-E5

Continuity mistake: In the hotel room, Jim spots the gun under the curtain. The gun is underneath a concave pleat of the curtain in the wide angle, convex in the close-ups. (00:04:25)

Exit Prentiss Carr - S1-E5

Continuity mistake: Escaping the bare-bellied killer in his truck, Rockford drives through an industrial site (lumber yard, turns out). A worker dives out of the way. Then there's a close-up of James Garner vigorously turning the wheel, but in the shot showing the road, the truck actually goes ahead a few meters still, perfectly straight, before the turn occurs. (00:41:40)

Exit Prentiss Carr - S1-E5

Continuity mistake: When Jim Rockford tells Rockford Sr. that refilling the truck will be 40 gallons, he has his hand at 11 o'clock, and gone out of sight in the next shot. (00:38:00)
