Continuity mistake: A small blotch of shaving cream stubbornly adheres itself to Steele's left ear after he shaves. While he's talking to Chalmers, the blotch changes shape several times, then disappears altogether between takes. (00:04:00)
Remington Steele (1982)
1 continuity mistake in Blue Blooded Steele
Starring: Pierce Brosnan, Doris Roberts, Stephanie Zimbalist
Plot hole: Laura successfully knocks out both bad guys, steals their van and crashes through the warehouse doors. The van doesn't stall, but inexplicably, she stops it, gets out and runs away on foot, even though the baddies are coming to and coming after her. Not the option you'd expect a kidnap victim to choose: most people would floor it and keep on driving. (00:23:40)
Remington Steele: Atomic man is wanted for murder.
Remington Steele: Really, I didn't realise the penalty for bad acting was that stiff in this country.
Trivia: One of the running gags in the series in Steele's penchant for quoting or referencing old movies for inspiration. Near the end of this episode, Steele is asked how they will get the diamond back. He says "The Thomas Crowne Affair, Steve McQueen, Faye Dunaway, 1968." 16 years later, Pierce Brosnan (who plays Remington Steele) would play the title role in the 1999 remake of "The Thomas Crown Affair."
