Fun Facts
- Ponch and Jon pass through the intersection of Soledad Canyon Rd. and Sierra Highway when the show opens.
- Gas is 66 cents per gallon; later, we see it for 71 cents per gallon
- The pursuit of the ambulance driver passes through the intersection of Cahuenga Blvd. and Yucca St. View in Google Maps
Mistakes
- When the kid with the gun takes off, he drops his tin of pellets. A number of them fall out. When Jon discovers the tin of pellets later, the tin is nearly full and the lid is much closer to the tin. It looks neatly placed.
- When Ponch and Jon chase the ambulance driver, both the driver and the CHP exit through a gate, pass a pillar, a speed limit sign, and a smaller sign. The next shots appear to be the same footage given where they pass and the movements of the CHP riders. The first shots of the driver and then the CHP officers appear to be edited versions of the second shots.
- During the chase of the ambulance driver, a jump ramp is visible right before one vehicle vaults another.
