Continuity mistake: Throughout the episode, which covers a timespan of a couple of weeks, the various patrons of the bar/club where the fights take place for the most part are around for every match, which is not out of the ordinary but...wearing the same clothes too, that's more unusual.

Magnum, P.I. (1980)
Continuity mistake: When Higgins calls "Buster" and "Bobby K", a strong shadow appears on his forehead in the wider angles, nothing of the sort in close-ups. (00:47:35)
29th May 2020
Magnum, P.I. (1980)
Continuity mistake: When TC hulks up from the stool for his last round, Rick has his right hand on the towel, which becomes the left hand as TC parries yet another haymaker. (00:43:40)
29th May 2020
Magnum, P.I. (1980)
Continuity mistake: When the champion sends TC flying with some sort of flamboyant knee to the face, before TC gets to the ground you can see the towel on the top rope being quite distant from the turnbuckle. In the rest of the scene it is right by it. (00:42:45)
29th May 2020
Magnum, P.I. (1980)
Continuity mistake: Magnum is talking with the landlady in Chicago. He sneaks a peek of the Tigers game on TV. In the wider angle the newspaper in front of the TV is folded revealing different letters than in the close-ups, where it's tightly pressed. (00:19:25)
29th May 2020
Magnum, P.I. (1980)
Continuity mistake: Claude rings a cowbell to announce the contenders. Amongst the patrons, recognizable and featured prominently is a local girl with a brown dress and white shoulderstraps. She is shouting and cheering in a frontal view, drink in hand, but she is also sitting in another seat, smoking, in the shots from behind. (00:14:50)
29th May 2020
Magnum, P.I. (1980)
Continuity mistake: TC is accepted as replacement and tells Claude the announcer his boxing credentials. During the wide shots, Shannen Doherty's hair runs to the sleeve of her shirt, does not in close-ups. (00:14:00)
29th May 2020
Magnum, P.I. (1980)
Continuity mistake: Shannen Doherty does some fine emotional blackmail on TC chasing him as he is leaving after just finding out about the boxing being of the bareknuckle kind. During this scene TC's boot on his chest changes orientation without being touched, from tip to the left ("You just gotta help me") to right ("Do you know how bad he can get hurt?") to left again. (00:13:15)
29th May 2020
Magnum, P.I. (1980)
Continuity mistake: First scene in Higgins' study. Leon Platt is determined to go on with his fights even injured. He has his good hand on his daughter Ima's shoulder. She tells him "No daddy, you can't!" as he removes the hand, but in the following close-up on Shannen Doherty, the hand is back on the shoulder. (00:08:25)

Magnum, P.I. (1980)
Continuity mistake: Higgins through the intercom asks "TC, why are you here?" TC lowers his left hand - he had his thumb near the intercom button before, now he put it on the card. New shot, and he's back sticking his thumb up. (00:06:25)
28th May 2020
Magnum, P.I. (1980)
Continuity mistake: TC spots in a close-up the Marines tattoo of the guy he injured. The position of the daughter's hand (she has her fingers in the rolled sleeve) and body (she's tightly close) in that close-up is different than in the other views. (00:04:55)
28th May 2020
Magnum, P.I. (1980)
Continuity mistake: Magnum and TC are talking at the beginning of the episode, by Rick and his peachy polo. Magnum has always his hands on his hips in TC's close-ups and in front of his belly in the wider angle shots. (00:02:15)
28th May 2020
Going in Style (2017)
Continuity mistake: During the robbery, the assailant who is kind to Michael Caine tells the slimy employee to give him his wallet. He mentions the gym membership and there's a reaction on Caine being quite contemptuous about it. In the part that follows, Chuck's tie is above the jacket in close-ups and under it in the overhead shots of the room. (00:05:35)

Squeeze Play - S4-E7
Continuity mistake: In the finale, Magnum is playing a solitaire. On the desk, the card on top row is an ace, then there are from right to left a 6 of hearts, a Jack of hearts, two spaces with cards face down, and a 5. When the village idiot makes Magnum turn the queen, he does it picking it between an 8 of hearts and a Jack of clubs that were not there before. (00:45:30)

Magnum, P.I. (1980)
Squeeze Play - S4-E7
Continuity mistake: During Magnum's final run to win the game, the person with the ball changes; it's either a white guy in the vicinity of second base, or a black outfielder by the fence. (00:43:40)
28th May 2020
Magnum, P.I. (1980)
Squeeze Play - S4-E7
Continuity mistake: At the 9th inning, Rick pitches and manages to get a triple play. The last shot before we see the scoreboard though is of Rick walking back to the bench, with his catcher mask, which was the role he played earlier. (00:38:25)

Magnum, P.I. (1980)
Squeeze Play - S4-E7
Continuity mistake: Lola decks Jerome on the field; he goes down with his arm bent up (glove above his cap), but it's at his hip when she is on him providing loving care. (00:28:30)
28th May 2020
Magnum, P.I. (1980)
Squeeze Play - S4-E7
Continuity mistake: When "Wallace McNurty" mentions the "lunchtime drinking" the two workers in front of him are increasingly distant from each other at the cut, and the bearded one has his hands on hips and not down his sides. (00:18:10)
27th May 2020
Magnum, P.I. (1980)
Continuity mistake: For the first episodes (minus the plot), the opening of the series features the Ferrari with two different license plates. The opening shot shows the ROBIN-1 vanity plate that is in every episode but not in the most well known version of the opening (with the iconic Mike Post theme music used in all the other seasons), and the following shows the license plate from the pilot.

Magnum, P.I. (1980)
Squeeze Play - S4-E7
Continuity mistake: When they haul away the poor Rick hit "in the stomach", TC teleports between shots from Lola's right to her left. (00:11:15)
