Larry Csonka in The Screenwriter (1974)

Goofs

The Screenwriter

Emergency!

Edit

Continuity

Dr Brackett asks if the pregnant woman is a primagravida meaning first baby. Johnny asks the husband and he responds she's has 1. Johnny says negative, she's had a child.

Factual errors

When Dr. Brackett feels around the abdomen of the supposedly drunk patient, Porter, the patient reacts to pain in the extreme left side of his abdomen. Dr. Brackett orders a series of tests for pancreatitis. However, the pancreas is on the the mid-right side, not the left.

Revealing mistakes

The above mentioned the deaf parents showing one finger and Gage replying negative, implying it was contradictory. The question from Rampart was if this was her first pregnancy, prima-something. Since it's her second, negative was the correct answer.
Art is constantly talking into the microphone but the button on the tape recorder is not pressed so nothing is being recorded.
When the Squad responds to the call at the market for the deaf couple when the wife is going into labor, Dr. Brackett asks Johnny if the mother has had children before. When Johnny asks the deaf husband (who is reading Johnny's lips) if his wife has had children before, he answers Johnny with a nod of his head & by holding up his index finger. But when Johnny relays his response, he states, "Negative, Rampart," & that this is her first child.
In the Larry Csonka crazed scene. It appears Larry has his Super Bowl ring on when he has Lopez upside down.

Crew or equipment visible

On the way to the motorcycle crash scene - you can see the shadow of the camera on the squad's hood.
