Continuity mistake: When the injured photographer is brought to the ER, Dix says treatment 7 and we see them heading into 7's door (which is around the corner from treatment 4 and 5, and has no color lines that run past its door) in the shot from the hallway. However, in the next shot from inside the treatment room, we can see they're not in treatment 7, but actually in treatment 4, note the red, green, and yellow lines on the hallway floor in front of its doorway, and treatment 7 has no lines that run past its doorway. When Dixie, Early, and Brackett step into the hallway it's even more obvious.
Continuity mistake: At the start of the USC game, after Johnny uses the Heimlich on the choking guy, when Roy asks him to take a deep breath Roy's left hand is on the man's chest, but in the next shot it is Roy's right hand that's on the man's chest.
Continuity mistake: After the paramedic teams are given their instructions before the start of the USC game, in the closeup the Trojan warrior is given his helmet and he has the sword on the saddle, but he does not have his shield when he turns to ride onto the field, yet in the next shot of the real-life recorded footage the Trojan warrior has the shield.
Continuity mistake: When John is putting the pompier belt around the waist of the man stuck up in the tree, he buckles it so the flap is going towards the man's right, but in the next shot as Chet climbs the ladder behind John, the life belt is around the man's waist the opposite way. Then, when John cuts the rope, the belt is back on the original way.
Continuity mistake: After bringing the sportscaster with the heart attack to Rampart, when Roy and John get back to the stadium then realize The Game's over, Roy carries the defib case and drug box, and John carries the resuscitator case and Biophone.

Continuity mistake: When 51's guys are on the roof of the jail, Johnny sets up the red hose roller with a safety line on the roof edge between the two ladders, but when Roy climbs up the orange ladder to go over the edge, that hose roller with the safety line are not on the roof edge and can be seen still lying on the ground, then it reappears in place in the aerial shot. Additionally, when Roy goes over the roof to make his descent, there's a second silver hose roller at the base of the overhang, which was never actually placed there.

Continuity mistake: Just before Engine 51 and Squad 51 arrive at the scene of the hang gliding incident, there's a long shot of the victims lying injured on the side of the cliff, and when the camera zooms out we see Johnny and Roy with the informant of the accident standing at the top of the cliff, even though Squad 51 hasn't actually arrived at the scene yet. That same shot is shown a minute later after they all arrive, when Roy says that he'll get some equipment.
Continuity mistake: When Johnny and Roy rappel down the cliff with the downed hang gliders, both of their lifebelts are buckled going from their left to right sides, but in Johnny's first closeups when he's with the second victim, Johnny's lifebelt is on the opposite way, note that it's buckled going from his right to left. Then once the glider falls Johnny's belt is on the original way.
Continuity mistake: When Roy and Johnny begin rappelling down the cliff to the injured hang gliders, Roy's not wearing the safety pack in the closeup, but as they're rappelling in the wide shot the large safety pack is suddenly on Roy's back.

Continuity mistake: At the singles club fire, after Roy and Johnny go in to look for the missing man, we see Mike charging the lines, then there's a shot of two of 16's guys walking past the stairway with a hose, and notice that on the stairway we can see Johnny's and Roy's legs heading down the stairs. This same shot is shown again after Roy and Johnny check the men's room upstairs, and once again we see Roy and John coming down the stairs when 16's guys walk past them.

Additionally, the dirty areas on his shirt change.

Then Johnny gives Roy the victims vitals, and when Johnny goes to the vent pipe to get the blankets they just sent down, suddenly the trauma case is down below with him, and it's open, but Johnny never retrieved the case before getting the blankets. Additionally, Roy tells Rampart that the victim has a "large discoloration on the chest", even though John never said anything about it to Roy, when he gave the victim's vitals over the HT.

Correct, it was J. Pat O'Malley...he also played the grandfather with his grandson when their rocket exploded, and also played "Old Bill" in the episode with Ann Prentiss, where Gage saves the little girl from the burning tree house, and her mother falls in love with him.
