Trivia:
In the final episode, Reed receives the Medal of Valor for saving Malloy's life. more
Goofs:
Continuity: Whenever there is an insert of either the radio, the "hot sheet" (list of stolen cars), or when Reed is jotting down information on the pad, the visuals almost never match the continuity of the scene. Example: It can be daytime in the scene, but when the insert of the radio or the hot sheet is shown, they appear, due to the lighting, that the inserts are from nighttime. Also, the same insert of Reed writing on the pad is used whenever he writes info down. As with the errors with the radio not matching the scene, there are times when Reed is wearing the short-sleeve uniform, yet when he's writing info down, we see the cuff of a long-sleeve shirt. more
Quotes:
Jim Reed: You just have to know how to arrest them and still make them like you. We call it technique. more

Great to see the re runs, and Jack Hogan is great., 10 January 2003
Author: joy rose coppel from Thornhill, Ontario

So great to see Jack Hogan in a suit. This is a great series, all the actors are great. Jack Hogan, is a "love" in Combat, he makes me happy and in this series, he makes me proud of him.
