The helmets the actors wear don't match the Bulls' helmets in the football footage. The NFL logo was shown at midfield on one shot, while it's marked out on closeups of the football. Closeups of the actors are shot during the day and the stock footage is at night. The stock footage shows them playing in a dome and the closeups reveal they're outdoors since you can see their breath.
shareThere were many continuity issues in the series. One that really stood out was when the announcer mentioned that the game was taking place at Bulls Stadium, while we were seeing a shot of the "Tampa Stadium" sign just under the pressbox at "The Big Sombrero."
Most of the game footage in the early years was that of the old USFL's LA Express. Their logo was a capital "LA" linked together. From a distance, it resembled the horns of a bull. Watching these shows, I've often wondered if Marshall Teague, Jeff Kaake, and Michael Toland ever realized that if the Express hadn't had a white guy playing wide receiver who wore #83, they probably wouldn't have had their jobs.
sit back and enjoy. Its o.k. to say to yourself "What the *beep*
Thats half the fun of this show, more than half.
Footage was used from USFL's Los Angeles Express. During simulated game shots, the Bulls football helmet has a decal of horns on the side. When the show uses actual game footage, you can clearly see the letters "L" and "A" on the helmets side, representing the L.A. Express. Many generic shots of USFL stadiums were used to depict where the Bulls were playing. As the series went on, aerial shots were used of Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum to represent the Bulls home stadium.
