The cars start rolling off the car hauler prior to it hitting the CHP unit. Additionally, the rear wheels are shown turning which could not have happened since they would be placed in gear or have the parking brake applied while on the hauler.
Immediately before the crash involving Turner, his car is visible directly behind the stolen CHP unit, which had rounded the curve by the pedestrians. In the following scene, Tuner has not rounded the curve and is shown going around it.
After the thieves steal Bonnie's cruiser, a shotgun is pictured mounted to the dashboard, yet when they're on the freeway, the shotgun is no longer there.
From the time the station wagon arrives until Baricza discovers his doors and lightbar missing is about 60 seconds. It is impossible to remove those items in that amount of time using hand tools- no air tools were heard. Additionally, the car was shown parked next to a yellow steel pole on the passenger side, so that door could not have been opened far enough for removal.
Armored vehicles like public service vehicles do not have external antenna cables. The antennas mount directly to the body of the vehicle through the metal.
Getraer says he needs a fuse to operate his motorcycle. He is in a business district and since the KZ1000 used standard glass automotive fuses he could easily have walked to an auto parts or hardware store to purchase one instead of waiting for a trailer.
The car hauler crashes into the CHP unit about 14 seconds after the first crash. This means that at 55 MPH the truck was almost 1/4 mile back when the crash took place so the driver would have easily avoided the panic stop shown.
The damage shown to Turner's car would not have taken place as shown- the rear of the hood popping up before the car hit anything, the doors falling off, and the tire deflating after he kicked it.
As the Wright family is escaping from the armored car robbery the stunt driver of the station wagon has a mustache/beard and does not resemble the blond haired young man that is supposed to be driving.
Bonnie and Getraer have an argument at the end of their shift, just as Ponch and Jon are leaving. Yet the clock on the wall reads nine o'clock. The shift featured in the show begins early in the morning, so there's no way they would still be at work at nine p.m.
In the second crash on the freeway, padding used to protect the stunt drivers is visible inside the windshield of the first two cars that become airborne.
In the first crash on the freeway, the ramp used to launch the vehicle over the light blue car is visible behind the light blue car.
The thieves steal two separate CHP cruisers, one belonging to Central and the other belonging to West L.A., yet the mounted shotgun in each cruiser has identical chips in the paint on its barrel. That's likely because both in-car scenes were filmed in the same car with the same mounted shotgun.
When Ponch follows up with the used-car dealer whose lot the '79 car was stolen from, the owner says he already made a full report to the LAPD. Yet earlier on, Jon said that the car was stolen in Whittier. Whittier, an incorporated city 15 miles southeast of Los Angeles, has its own police force. LAPD officers do not have jurisdiction in Whittier, and they would definitely not go so far out of their way for something as routine as a stolen-vehicle report.
Even though the CHP uniforms were stolen and toy guns obtained, the uniform badges were not stolen, nor was a siren- the latter was used to stop the armored truck. Additionally, when a detour is established, the CHP does not stop just one vehicle, the detour applies to all vehicles on the road.
Susan Wright obtains the CHP uniforms needed for the heist by stealing them from Sgt. Getraer's cleaners. How would she know that they would be in there, unless she were keeping some kind of watch on Getraer, which seems unlikely? In addition, Getraer's uniforms seem to fit the boys perfectly, even though he is a much larger man than either of them.
Ponch is handed a map dropped by one of the auto theft suspects. Even in the 80's fingerprint technology was used to lift prints from surfaces such as maps, yet he never had the map checked.
