The Curse of the King Kamehameha Club - S1-E11

Continuity mistake: When Magnum pushes the journalist's foot off the accelerator and steps on the brake, he's wearing white worn-out Converse sneakers with light purple socks and she's wearing tan stockings and pumps. Wen they walked up to the car, though, she was wearing open toed shoes with no stockings, and Magnum was wearing brown boat shoes earlier when he arrived at Mr. Dollinger's home.

The Curse of the King Kamehameha Club - S1-E11

Revealing mistake: En route to the hut of the kahuna, TC is reading from a book. He reads "That is why curses or warning of death prayer" making exaggerated motions that undoubtedly establish that sentence being at the bottom of the page. Magnum then urges him to go on "That is why what?", and he resumes reading, but he's reading now (and again, makes very obvious he's reading and not just repeating from memory) from the opposite page.

The Curse of the King Kamehameha Club - S1-E11

Continuity mistake: After the unexpected death of the champion racer, the protagonists discuss in Rick's office. Higgins is wearing a blue blazer with the navy and beige tie he wore during the announcement and curse. The fire alarm rings, and for the kitchen scene Higgins somehow had time to change his tie to a regimental one with thin red stripes. (00:12:00 - 00:14:20)

Other mistake: When Magnum and TC get to Makua's house, there are several meters in the open between the shack and the sugarcane field. Makua the Kahuna makes it to the door surprising them, but after that, there's just no way two able-bodied guys wouldn't catch up on the short-legged chubby old man before he gets into the thick vegetation and thanks to the fire (none of it showing before) loses them. The scene would have been believable if the Kahuna delayed them in the shack through some trick, or the shack were in the middle of the cane field, but not with Magnum and TC bolting after him right away.

Almost Home - S3-E10

Magnum: I could appeal to his heart.
Lieutenant Maggie Poole: Yeah. And his stomach.
Magnum: Oh, come on! That food stuff, that was just an excuse. Listen, underneath that stomach was a heart as big as...that stomach.
