Magnum, P.I. (1980)

Ghost Writer - S2-E11

Other mistake: When the security guard is looking at Magnum trying to mess with the lock, the camera is on the ceiling, but the camera angle he gets on his monitor is as if the camera were level with him. (00:38:10)

Shito! Kyofu no kokushiken - S1-E11

Other mistake: As they are making their way to the designated place, Tatsumi and Saori explain the lovely place called "Murder Valley" is not on any chart, and the locals keep away from it because everything in it dies. They reach it by helidrop and surfing on glaciers. When they are there - in the middle of a wasteland that pumps out sulphur - Ikki is more precise about the spot where they need to meet; the "Shishigabana stone." Seiya and Hyoga wonder where that is, to which Shun simply says "It's a famous stone in the Amidagahara Wetlands [...], my parents took me to that location a very long time ago." It's Midagahara, and if the location is so close to a place familiar to Shun, you'd think he would at least say something. Moreover, it's clear from the rest of the series and manga that Shun is never supposed to have parents who took him hiking - even irresponsible ones who'd carry him near death pits. (00:04:20)

Saint Seiya: Awakening

Other mistake: In the sidequest 12-1 with Ikki and the inner demons (called "Devil Inside" in the actual speech), when he speaks with his brother Shun, the character of the Sanctuary Guard is used instead.

Magnum, P.I. (1980)

Mad Buck Gibson - S2-E8

Other mistake: Magnum needs to stop Buck, and asks Higgins for the keys to the Audi. Higgins just happens to have the keys in his pocket, which makes no sense, since he keeps them in a drawer inside the study, and can't just wander about all day with all the keys to all of Robin Masters' vehicles inside his pants.

Wave Goodbye - S2-E7

Other mistake: When the bad guy pulls the gun on Magnum, the last twist is spoiled a minute too early if you notice the shadow of the actor on the right side, already standing by just out of frame. (00:46:40)

Magnum, P.I. (1980)

Tropical Madness - S2-E6

Other mistake: Magnum messes up his clothes at the gas station, all covered in oil, and uses them to clean the windshield. Still, when the snotty Brit girl arrives, he recovers them from the passenger seat. That would have royally messed up the interiors, and Higgins right there would have freaked out, but neither happens. (00:11:00)

Magnum, P.I. (1980)

Tropical Madness - S2-E6

Other mistake: At the appointment / trap at the abandoned shrine, Magnum hears a bell toll. He turn around, and it's clear that someone rang the bell pushing the log - it is still moving, it's not an automated system and there's no wind. but since the plot does not involve it, he just goes on like nothing happened. For all he knew, it could have been exactly where his supposed client or informant wanted him to go. (00:18:00)

Saint Seiya: Awakening

Other mistake: In the "Sanctuary Records" missions recap, the Titans event is routinely listed as "Tains"

Memories Are Forever - S2-E5

Other mistake: In the opening credits, Clyde Kusatsu is listed as guest star playing "Colonel Ki." However in the end credits Robert Inouye (should be "Inoue", really) is "Colonel's Ky's driver." Ki seems a more plausible spelling, but it should be noted that in the actual episode, during the meeting when the Americans ask the General about returning the bodies buried in 'Nam, the nameplate of the absent Colonel says "Col. Ky Lan." (00:01:55 - 00:31:25)

Magnum, P.I. (1980)

Memories Are Forever - S2-E5

Other mistake: Colonel Ky fires his gun at Magnum a first time when he is picking up the handkerchief. In the background, a woman in brown is walking peacefully. Cut to scared crowd all over the place. Magnum turns the corner and from the new cover shoots a couple times at Ky. Next shot Ky returns fire, but it's just another take of the first shot; the woman in brown is again walking where she was, and reacts to the gunfight only at that point. (01:30:40)
