The Dark and Bloody Ground - S1-E3
Visible crew/equipment: When Rockford returns to his trailer and begins to tell Rocky about his ordeal with the semi in Arizona, just as Rockford says, "It tried to run me off a mountain," watch as the microphone pops up at the bottom, right side of the screen behind the glass bowl. (00:22:55)
Backlash of the Hunter - S1-E1
Continuity mistake: Rockford's car has license plate number "835-OKG" at the front of his car, but license plate number "853-OKG" at the back of his car, a few times during the episode. (00:35:40 - 00:37:50)
Say Goodbye to Jennifer - S1-E19
Visible crew/equipment: When Rockford returns the tape to Mitch they discuss Jennifer, and just as Rockford tells Mitch that he doesn't deal in open cases, two black T-marks taped to the rug are visible near the desk. (00:03:35)
Visible crew/equipment: While Daniel Kramer is speaking to Rockford at the trailer, when Kramer hands Rockford the last known address for Maria Heller, the boom mic pops up into view at the bottom of the screen. (00:06:10)
Backlash of the Hunter - S1-E1
Continuity mistake: When Rockford walks into the Mayfair bathroom there's a guy at one of the sinks. The style of the sink and faucet is entirely different between the closeups and wide shots. (00:46:00)
Visible crew/equipment: The mysterious person who was chasing Rockford apparently loses him in the parking lot. As he drives away, on the sidewalk there's filming equipment by the entrance of the lot, and it cuts to an angle that is exactly what they were filming. (00:06:50)
The Countess - S1-E4
Revealing mistake: When the car falls off a cliff at the end, it's an entirely different looking model with different headlights (square vs round), and empty (at least nobody in the passenger seat for sure). (00:46:30)
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)
Backlash of the Hunter - S1-E1
Continuity mistake: Rockford goes to police to ask Dennis Becker about the case. He leans against the wall as they chat, but his left hand is blatantly at different height in the two different angles that alternate. (00:24:30)
The Countess - S1-E4
Continuity mistake: Rockford pours liquor to The Countess in a plastic cup; whoever is doing that in close-up is not wearing a wristwatch, James Garner in the rest of the scene does. (00:07:30)
Continuity mistake: Rockford knocks out of the bad guy with a shovel in the gut. He drops the shovel in the bunker, and the tool a couple seconds later is lying down in a different place without him touching it. (00:45:00)
Revealing mistake: During the car chase in the golf course, Rockford gets ahead of Muzzy Vinette and has to turn the car to block his path. You can see in the grass, in that precise spot, different marks from previous takes of the scene. Obviously not a maneuver golf carts perform, and right there. (00:43:40)
