It is also known as "Backlash of the Hunter." I will add additional vehicle caps in the comments section of each vehicle after they are approved. It has two IMDb pages: One page as a made-for-TV movie called "The Rockford Files" which served as a pilot for the series. (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0072093/) One page as an episode of the the "Rockford Files" tv seies called "Backlash of the Hunter." (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0687988/) It is aired as a two-part episode in syndication. The bad guys use a plane to chase Jim. ![[Image: S1E00-041.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/0ih/S1E00-041.jpg) ![[Image: S1E00-042.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/0ih/S1E00-042.jpg) ![[Image: S1E00-043.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/0ih/S1E00-043.jpg) ![[Image: S1E00-044.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/0ih/S1E00-044.jpg) -- Last edit: 2010-03-03 02:16:07 |

This page should technically be included as 1.00 on /movie_71042-The-Rockford-Files.html, but I guess we can accept it as seperate thing. Then again, I ask how vehicles should be listed, because there are two 50-minute parts of it. -- Last edit: 2018-05-10 17:54:28 |

I think there shouldn't be episode numbers, they are only split for syndication. It aired as one whole TV movie. |

I know. The problem is there won't be chronology without eps. I'm open to giving them up tho. |

Looks like they added some scenes for syndication, as this aired in March 1974 and there are a few 1975 Model Year cars seen. |

Completed. Shouldn't "Backlash of the Hunter" be included in the title or put as alternative?

theres some 1975 cars in this movie that supposed to be of 1974.... |

This, and your other similar comment, can probably be answered with product placement. That,and the fact that the US model years are, in some cases, available as early as in February. |

The most likely explanation is when they converted the TV movie into two separate episodes for syndication (which would have happened a few years after it aired), they had to add extra scenes to fill the time gaps. There are not just 1975 models, but a few 1976 in there as well. I'm guessing that they were most likely transition scenes of the Firebird driving that were probably in other episodes. |
