Steven Mond, Randi Oakes, David Yanez, and Garrick Russell in CHiPs (1977)

Goofs

Second Chance

CHiPs

Edit

Continuity

When Ponch visits the children's hospital, he tells the nurse that the accident happened three weeks ago. The next day at roll call, the sergeant says that the accident happened a week ago.
When the CHiPs set up the fake jewelry sting and plant fake jewelry in an apartment, the criminal has no way of knowing which apartment it's in. She mentions which apartment complex she's in, but does give the apt number. The same goes for all the other heist. Their address is not printed on their keys.
When Chuck and Peggy drive the stolen Mercedes cars are visible behind them in the close ups but no cars are behind them in any of the wide shots.

Factual errors

It is stated that the suspect has committed a robbery, the actual crime would be burglary.

Revealing mistakes

During the pre-titles chase there is a shot looking back from the red bike where the front wheel is being held stationary and the straps holding it to the camera vehicle can be seen.
In opening chase when rounding corners both the thief and Ponch and John's motorcycles are vertical, with no lean, however, all the men lean to the side faking it. They appear to be riding on a trailer.

Character error

Both brothers are working as valet parking attendants right before their final heist, and the less-willing brother doesn't even want to go through with the crime. They didn't know such a tempting score would present itself, but somehow the brother with the steady job is able to get off of work with no notice and has time to change clothes.
When the suspect escapes by driving his motorcycle off the pier and having his brother to pick him up in a boat, Jon doesn't think to call the Coast Guard to follow the boat and apprehend the suspects. It's not a speedboat, and the brothers use the same boat over and over. The criminals are clearly important enough (multiple felonies have been committed) to warrant a boat-by-boat search for the getaway vehicle.
Ponch seems to be riding the right front brake of his motorcycle in one scene.
