Continuity mistake: Jim at the end of the episode follows Rocky to his pick-up truck. While they are going there, he's checking out some girl in jeans shorts. About 20 seconds later he's making a comment about art being a hedge against inflation, and in the background the same girl is walking in the same direction. (00:48:30)
Continuity mistake: When Rockford slumps into the chair outside of his trailer, a man in bathing shorts disappears during the mid-action cut. (00:47:30)
Revealing mistake: Marilyn scribbles all over the picture drawing facial hair with a marker. As Rockford retrieves it, you can see that the prop is still of an immaculate photo. (00:42:10)
Continuity mistake: When Rockford is rescued by Marilyn, a scarf appears under his head suddenly when it cuts to a close-up. (00:33:25)
Continuity mistake: The sheriff's goons beat Rockford up, and he slumps back against their car. Depending on the angle, his left hand goes inside the jacket or over his right hand. (00:32:50)
Continuity mistake: Rockfords drops the hitchhiker at her place, and they chat about going to dinner. In close-ups, Marilyn Polonski's left hand is next to her left shoulder on the car roof; every time it cuts to the slightly wider angle the left arm is placed across, so her left hand is in front of her right shoulder. (00:22:15)
Continuity mistake: After he shows the picture to Marilyn Polonski, Rockford puts the picture away into his jacket pocket with his right hand, which turns into the left hand at the reverse shot. (00:21:40)
Continuity mistake: In his search for the scammers, Rockford sees a cute hitchhiker. She leans into the car with a shawl in hand. In close-up, the garment drapes in by a whole lot less. (00:20:20)
Continuity mistake: Rockford sits down teasing Moss about the beneficiary having to sue to collect. He holds a single sheet with both hands over the desk, but when he answers he has both hands on the opposite sides of the whole folder, flat on the desk. Similarly, later in the convo Rockford says he has a lead, Moss has his left hand on the chair, but is instantly flipping a page with that same hand in the reverse shot. (00:15:45)
Continuity mistake: Rockford is at the insurance company. The secretary brings in a folder, Melvyn Moss grabs it by the top, and he holds it by the bottom in the reverse shot. (00:15:00)
Continuity mistake: At the airport desk, Rockford does a masterful job impersonating a cab driver. During the scene, his hand is on top of the bag to opposite sides of the handle in shots and reverse shots. (00:13:15)
Continuity mistake: Jim picks up the heavy groceries bags from the trunk. He's holding closer to his body the one with the eggs and the Stuffin, which instead is on the outside at the next cut. (00:05:50)
Revealing mistake: During the opening set in Switzerland, all the cars have Swiss license plates from Lausanne with the Vaud canton emblem, but every single one of them has them mounted on license plate holders of the wrong size, showing that they all are cars from a different region/market.
Continuity mistake: Jim is at the table of the cafe as the woman he is observing stops the car in front of a building. A man in the faraway shot walks past the car and the door it stopped in front of, but when we see the woman get out of the car in the next shot, the man is just only now entering in frame and moving past the car. (00:02:35)
