Fun Facts

Ponch and Chris arrive at Central
  • Mary Frances Crosby is the daughter of Bing Crosby. She also played the role of Kristin Shepard on the TV drama, "Dallas." It was Crosby's character who was the answer to the question, "Who shot J.R.?"
  • Gas is 74 cents per gallon.
  • When the pick-up truck driver begins having chest pains he is at the intersection of Whispering Leaves Dr. and Sierra Hwy. in Santa Clarita. View in Google Maps
  • When Ponch and Jon are driving Forbinger's limo, they pass through the intersection of Pershing Dr. and Manchester Ave., which is just to the northwest of LAX.
  • When Chris is reunited with Arthur Forbinger, she arrives with Ponch's arm firmly grasped around her waist. Ponch continues to make eyes at Chris while she is standing with her grandfather. Erik Estrada (b.5/16/49) is more than 10 years older than Mary Crosby (b. 9/14/59), who was 18 years old when the show aired. He also continues his habit of hitting on Cahill, played by Brianne Leary (b. 7/28/57), who is more than 8 years younger than Estrada. Apparently, Ponch has a penchant for younger women.

Mistakes

Helmet lights.
  • Set lights are reflected in Jon's helmet.
  • When the cars surround the blue pick-up truck, they have already gone through an underpass. However, when we see a close-up of the driver of the black car (next to the truck) they are just entering the underpass (there is no underpass farther up the road from the first one). When they cut back to a front shot, we see the underpass well off in the distance.
  • The blue pick-up truck driver goes through and is well past the intersection of Whispering Leaves Dr. and Sierra Hwy. They cut to a shot of the truck and he is going through that intersection again. The entire scene cuts back and forth toward the underpass.
Crew Reflection in side of truck
  • Right before the driver jumps out of the blue pick-up, one can see crew members reflections in the side of the truck.
Replacement Limo
  • When Jon is driving the limo he rams the car in front of him that is trying to box him in. The car that rams the front car is a very different vehicle than what Jon has been driving.
