Magnum, P.I. (1980)

Memories Are Forever - S2-E5

Continuity mistake: Buck Greene is face to the ship, held at gunpoint. When he turns around in the next shot, his right hand is significantly above the previous position (look at the yellow tag for reference). (01:24:30)

Memories Are Forever - S2-E5

Continuity mistake: In the crowd at Little Saigon, the same extras can be seen appearing multiple times. A particularly obvious one when TC surprises Magnum and stretches his arm trying to stop him from walking away. Right in front of them, there's an old woman with a younger female in a black shirt with a diagonal stripe. Several seconds pass and those two are in the little crowd that witness Rick and Thomas fighting over the kid. (00:34:50)

Memories Are Forever - S2-E5

Continuity mistake: Rick checks out of the photo Magnum hands him. In the background, cards are scattered on the table. The next time we see the table a couple cuts later, the two of hearts changed position, now being on top of the scattered cards, and it is in yet another position during TC's close-up. (00:14:35)

Memories Are Forever - S2-E5

Continuity mistake: After being negligent with his paying customer tossing the evidence in the ocean, Magnum is taking pictures of a ship. From behind, he's taking pics with both hands on the camera, from the front, he's handling it with just the right one. (00:10:25)

Memories Are Forever - S2-E5

Continuity mistake: Asking for camera film was a bit much, so Magnum skedaddles with a cheeky grin before the lads chew him off. As he makes his exit, he is holding the bag in a different way, with the strap across instead of straight. (00:08:10)

Magnum, P.I. (1980)

From Moscow to Maui - S2-E4

Continuity mistake: The opening shot of the intro shows the takeoff two planes with a black nose and USAF written under the wings. When they are in flight later after the control room scene, stock footage is used, because now the planes have "MARINES" written above the wings, followed again by a close-up, this time of a white nosed airplane (or mock-up) with a recognizable number 23 that was absent before. (00:01:30)

From Moscow to Maui - S2-E4

Continuity mistake: During the credit sequence, at "Directed by", the pilot undoes the seatbelt. Under the suit, his left wrist reveals the presence of a watch, which is at the right wrist when he gets out of the plane. (00:05:15)

From Moscow to Maui - S2-E4

Continuity mistake: When Rick in disguise is in front of an athlete's bungalow and questioning the size of her extra 'chromosome', the fake Press pass on his chest is angled differently between shots. (00:29:00)

From Moscow to Maui - S2-E4

Continuity mistake: Magnum pours a scotch to his aspiring client, tosses in the other room whatever was occupying the chair, and sits down. Yuri Dolgof comes closer to convince him; during this part of the scene, Tom Selleck (or his stand-in) has the arm raised, leaning against the hand to listen, but in the frontal views he just has his arm on the armrest.

Magnum, P.I. (1980)

From Moscow to Maui - S2-E4

Continuity mistake: The MIG pilot is preparing to get out of the plane. There's a close-up of a young and a bit tense soldier (or "soldier", since the extra looks quite unconvincing and not handling the weapon very confidently) wearing glasses. The strap of his weapon is firmly pressed between his fingers and the gun, but in the wider angle the strap is sorta slipping away. (00:05:15)
