Possible Plot Hole
The Van. Did the van check out? It belonged to a friend of a friend. It ended up in Houston TX, and registered in CA. The owners were ok with that?
sharehmmmm..........
But of course the biggest plot whole is why they're considered the "California Champs"when they lost the championship? It couldn't have been 2 years cause this on was made in '77.

1. The bears were the "California Champs"
- Can't remember for sure but I thought the TV show explained how they won the championship and were able to go to Houston for nationals. I'm not 100% sure since the TV show came out two years after the movie. But I do remember watching a TV show with the bears where they won a final game and were the champions. I know the TV show was based off the first movie, but it might be a stretch.
2. The van was towed away.
- It was just towed out of the no parking zone. It could have been dropped off at the hotel's parking lot.
3. The van "checked out"
- It wasn't his jurisdiction, so maybe the cop didn't care once Michael Leak came on the scene. Just a guess.
