Corrected entry: When the movie crew sets up the shot of Adam West jumping off a ledge to save the dog, the clapboard they use has the name of Bobby Byrne on it as Director of Photography for the movie "The Spy Who Laughed at Danger". Byrne is the actual D of P for the movie 'Hooper', so they simply used the same clapboard for the Adam West shot. On that same clapboard you can see where they erased director Hal Needham's name from it and substituted the fictional director's name "Roger Deal", who was played by Robert Klein.
Hooper (1978)

Continuity mistake: After Sonny and Ski make the jump, they pull Sonny out of the car and he hugs Gwen. Gwen pulls back about 2 feet to look at Sonny and when the camera angle changes they are back nose to nose.
Singer: Everyone get drunk and be somebody.
Trivia: When everyone's back at Sonny's ranch watching his old stunt films, the footage with him getting thrown from a canoe in a river was from his movie "Deliverance".
