The Countess - S1-E4
Continuity mistake: In close-up, Rockford's TV set is placed against a plain yellow plaster wall, but the wide view reveals it's in front of a window in his trailer. There's a tape player on top of it too, which was entirely absent in the close-up composite shot. (00:06:50)

The Dark and Bloody Ground - S1-E3
Continuity mistake: Jim is back home, and is talking to his dad. Rocky says a firm "No" when Jim says that the guy in the truck was trying to kill him; he points his right index finger as he says the word. Reverse shot, and it's the left index. (00:23:30)

The Dark and Bloody Ground - S1-E3
Continuity mistake: During the chase with the Mack truck, Rockford's car in the POV shots from the car tire is edging the side of the road with a ditch really close, but in the other angles the surroundings don't have such an immediate threat close by. (00:16:10)

The Rockford Files (1974)

The Rockford Files (1974)
Continuity mistake: At the drive-in, Rockford in close-up chews into the burger holding it with both hands, but in the previous shot he was using one hand to keep the plate underneath it. In fact, his plate went on the tray outside the car. (00:34:55)

Backlash of the Hunter - S1-E1
Continuity mistake: The bad guys destroy Rockford's car, which in an old school trope explodes (even if it makes little sense that it would). The explosion raises a column of thick black smoke as the car burns...which is just gone after.

Backlash of the Hunter - S1-E1
Continuity mistake: At the odd restaurant where Rockford puts on the rather flashy tie, continuity is spotty when the two sit down to have dinner. The position of the menu and Sara's arm are obviously changing with the reverse shots. (00:26:15)

The Rockford Files (1974)
Backlash of the Hunter - S1-E1
