Fun Facts

  • This is the last episode that we see Sindy Cahill.
  • Gas is 89 cents per gallon.
  • When Ponch and Jon chase the red car on to the car carrier, they are turning from Sepulveda Blvd. to Greenlawn Ave. View in Google Maps The Ice Skating sign, which is the Culver Ice Arena, is still visible west of there on Sepulveda. View in Google Maps
  • The roller hockey games take place at the Los Angeles Sports Arena at 3939 S. Figueroa St. View in Google Maps (the actual rink is probably beneath the red and white cover).

Mistakes

  • When Ponch and Jon return to Central and catch Harlan siphoning gas from a cruiser, they ride into the parking lot on the old style of CHP motorcycle (notice the lack of black "boots" on the front wheel supports), which turns into the new style (notice the black rubber "boots" on the front wheel supports) when they stop. There are other scenes in this episode where they go from a close-up and we see the new style to a distant shot and see the old style (e.g., when they are on the freeway looking for the truck that hit Getraer by inspecting mud flaps).
  • After Cahill radios that she has spotted something at her 10-20, we see Ponch and Jon riding. A close-up of the radio also shows the speedometer, which has the needle pegged at 0mph.
  • Fuel tankers like the one in the episode deliver fuel using gravity. It is impossible to siphon gasoline from underground tanks without special equipment and hoses. The truck used had no suction equipment.
