Continuity mistake: When Rockford is with Agent Kleinhoff on the tarmac, the airplane Rockford boards has N-number N664CL, but the airplane that takes off has many more windows and a Canadian flag (it's not the 70's Air Canada logo) on its tail; then the plane in midair has N-number N953GA. Mid flight there are more discrepancies in the airplane's configuration. Finally, the airplane that lands has the original tail number N664CL. (00:06:35)
Continuity mistake: When Rockford first sees Christine during her photo session, in the wide shot Christine is brought a glass of wine which she holds in her right hand while the white flower is in her left hand; then the wine glass and flower switch hands in the next closeup. This change continues to occur in following shots. (00:18:50)
Continuity mistake: While Rockford convinces Rocky to temporarily stay at LJ's, Angel fixes himself a sandwich then lifts the plate with his left hand and grabs the beer with his right hand, but next shot the items have switched hands in midair. (00:41:50)
Continuity mistake: At the airport, there's a wheel chock wedged against the airplane's nose wheel when Chris climbs into the cockpit, and as Rockford walks away we hear Chris starting the engine, but in the next shot that wheel chock has vanished to allow Chris to steer the airplane forward, toward the taxiway. (00:27:00)
Continuity mistake: At the airport, when Chris is in the cockpit of the "blue and yellow single engine" the aircraft's N-number is N8825H, but when Chris is on his way to Oregon the airplane hits the water, and its tail number is now N4372K. (00:27:10)
Continuity mistake: While Beth and Susan are at the restaurant talking about Susan's company, in the shots facing Susan there's an ashtray beside the salt and pepper shakers, but in shots facing Beth that ashtray has vanished and in its stead are cigarettes and a lighter. (00:06:40)
The Battle of Canoga Park - S4-E3
Continuity mistake: When Becker and then Rockford get wet from the sprinkler on their way to Lee's front door, in the wide shot there's mail in the mailbox, but in the next semi-closeup the mail has vanished. (00:26:10)
