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)
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)
Continuity mistake: At the taco stand, Jim asks Susan "What's your problem?" She answers while a guy who was nowhere in sight before passes behind her. (00:53:15)
Continuity mistake: Rockford is incredulous about getting away so easily with a chore, and asks his dad "You mean it's not gonna cost me or anything?" Rocky has his can of beer up high, but in the reverse shot his arm is on the armrest. (00:41:30)
Continuity mistake: At the Feds' office, Rockford asks FBI Agent David Shore "Would you tell me what's going on?", with his hand on top of the mug. The hand was around it before the cut. (00:35:25)
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)
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)
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)
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)
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)
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)
