Fun Facts

• Ocean Island is a fictional location. The establishing shot is Laguna Beach.
• Grossie's uncle's house is in Malibu. View in Google Maps
• This is Robbie Rist's fourth and final appearance in CHiPs.
• Somehow the ATC chase goes from sand dunes to the docks at San Pedro. The United Distributing building was at 1400 South Harbor Boulevard.
• The nude model's house is about a quarter of a mile west of Grossie's uncle's house. It last changed hands in 1999 when it sold for just over $3,000,000; the 2013 estimated value is nearly $9,000,000. View in Google Maps

Mistakes

• When the girls drive their smoking car into the river, it stops with only the front wheels in the water. In the next shot it's out in the channel and almost fully submerged.
