Don't Eat the Snow in Hawaii - S1-E1
Revealing mistake: The bad guys open fire on Magnum during the car chase, and Magnum shifts gears. Is it Magnum though? The hand in close-up not only does not appear to be Selleck's (it appears to have virtually no hair as opposed to Selleck's that can be seen at the beginning setting the cassette player), but is also wearing the team ring upside down compared to how Magnum and everyone does.

Don't Eat the Snow in Hawaii: Part 2 - S1-E2
Revealing mistake: When Magnum passes his gun to his fellow soldier, it cuts to a shot of the heli in the air that is mirrored - easy to spot by "Marines" written backwards.

Don't Eat the Snow in Hawaii - S1-E1
Revealing mistake: After his car is destroyed, one of the two people who were chasing Magnum emerges from the wreckage and hikes to the very same spot Magnum was in.The road though cleaned itself; no more tracks in the dirt nor the skidmarks from Magnum's abrupt maneuver. (00:36:50)
30th Apr 2020
Revealing mistake: Torrance Beck and his men load Rockford on the car to dispose of him. They get ambushed, with 2 cars suddenly turning 90° blocking the road. Unexpected? Perhaps, but look at the asphalt; apparently it's a regular thing in that part of the road. There are already skidmarks reproducing the exact same movement. (00:33:30)
30th Apr 2020
Revealing mistake: Rockford is at the public phone with his client; during the scene, the same extras (guy with grey jacket and pink shirt, a nun and others) keep walking keep and forth in the lobby all the time. (00:02:30)

Tall Woman in Red Wagon - S1-E6
Revealing mistake: Harry Stoner is unconscious when Rockford and Sandra push him into the overhead couchette, but you can see his head raise independently from Rockford's sideways push shortly after he lands in it. (00:35:50)
30th Apr 2020
Tall Woman in Red Wagon - S1-E6
Revealing mistake: Rockford and Sandra have conned the conductor into going back to Agent Stoner. An outside shot of the train shows the wagons with mirrored numbers. (00:34:05)
30th Apr 2020
The Countess - S1-E4
Revealing mistake: When the car falls off a cliff at the end, it's an entirely different looking model with different headlights (square vs round), and empty (at least nobody in the passenger seat for sure). (00:46:30)
29th Apr 2020
The Countess - S1-E4
Revealing mistake: In the climax of the episode, the car goes off a cliff when Rockford steers abruptly. Definitely not your ordinary maneuver, but other people must have chosen to commit suicide in that spot, since there are previous tire marks of a sudden turn in that exact spot. (00:49:20)
29th Apr 2020
The Dark and Bloody Ground - S1-E3
Revealing mistake: Rockford puts the newspaper snippet in front of her client. The poorly constructed prop has the first 2 paragraphs a perfect repeat of each other. (00:28:25)
29th Apr 2020
The Dark and Bloody Ground - S1-E3
Revealing mistake: In another attempt to his life, Rockford has to somehow stop his car when his brakes have been sabotaged. However, at the end of its run the brakes are activated, suddenly locking the back wheels, causing the car to stop, and not the slow-down determined by the dirt mound. (00:25:15)
29th Apr 2020
The Dark and Bloody Ground - S1-E3
Revealing mistake: Chased by the truck, Rockford passes a brown Chevy Malibu that was bottling him. At the wheel of the truck there's a stuntman with a 'stache and not the same actor in the close-ups. (00:17:00)
29th Apr 2020
Revealing mistake: When the cars run past the water sprinkler, the curve has been already marked by several tire tracks. (00:44:25)
29th Apr 2020
Revealing mistake: During the car chase in the golf course, Rockford gets ahead of Muzzy Vinette and has to turn the car to block his path. You can see in the grass, in that precise spot, different marks from previous takes of the scene. Obviously not a maneuver golf carts perform, and right there. (00:43:40)
29th Apr 2020
Revealing mistake: Rockford checks out of the publication featuring the bulletin article about the Greens headed for the Greek Islands. The camera lingers on it, and you can read it's all filler gibberish about investigations and such. (00:17:35)
29th Apr 2020
Backlash of the Hunter - S1-E1
Revealing mistake: During the whole climactic duel between plane and car, despite the setting in the desertic outskirts of Vegas, aerial view show already from the beginning several tire tracks from previous takes. (01:30:00)
29th Apr 2020
Backlash of the Hunter - S1-E1
Revealing mistake: Jim Rockford rushes towards the shooting when Jerry just shot the priest; he takes a sharp turn following skidmarks from previous takes. (01:18:00)
29th Apr 2020
Backlash of the Hunter - S1-E1
Revealing mistake: When Jerry guns down the reverend, the person falling forward wears a remarkable grey wig - you can spot black hair on his neck area, even. (00:34:55)
29th Apr 2020
Backlash of the Hunter - S1-E1
Revealing mistake: The exterior shot of the house of the rich Miss Elias preceding Dr. Ruben Seelman's phone call, is a zoom on a static photography with a visible line on it. It is reused later in the episode (after Jim pulverizes his own picture in the phone book), with the exact same telling line. (00:30:20)
28th Apr 2020
Revealing mistake: In the classic ending of the episode, there's an obvious use of a dummy who falls in unnatural, stiff motion. (00:45:35)
