Episode #1.1 - S1-E1
Continuity mistake: Episode 1 - When the commissioner kisses his wife at the beginning of the first episode, he is holding the holstered gun in his left hand and his ID in the right hand. That's in the first shot, because his daughter enters the room bringing coffee, and now the two items swapped hand. (00:05:10)
1st Jun 2020
Continuity mistake: Magnum and TC hi-5 at the beginning of the episode. The football bounces at distance from TC in the first shot, but it's right at his feet after their hands clapped. (00:02:00)
1st Jun 2020
Continuity mistake: Magnum is bullied into going with Carol's lame plan. The very first shot of him and TC on the Ferrari on their way to block the drug lord shows TC wearing a white sweatband on his head he does not have in the rest of the episode; it's recycled from 1-13, All Roads Lead to Floyd, and you can even spot the car typical of that episode. (00:29:10)
1st Jun 2020
Continuity mistake: Magnum begins to open the safe; the sensor with the red wire is in left position, black wire in right position. When he removes the sensors, it's the other way around. (00:23:00)
1st Jun 2020
Continuity mistake: Drunk Carol is telling Magnum why she was fired. As she says "They took it away from me", her hand is in front of Magnum's, and yet it is on top of it at the cut. (00:06:00)

The Case of the Red-Faced Thespian - S4-E12

1st Jun 2020
The Case of the Red-Faced Thespian - S4-E12
Continuity mistake: Higgins, back in his wits, walks into the studio while Magnum is brainstorming with TC and Rick. He spots the invitations and examines them; as he approaches them you can see they are spread out in a fan, while at the beginning of the scene they were stacked in a neat pile. (00:36:15)
1st Jun 2020
The Case of the Red-Faced Thespian - S4-E12
Continuity mistake: When Valerie says "You can't keep me here!" sitting on the armchair, her shadow is in a completely different spot of the seat compared to the wider angle. (00:34:50)
1st Jun 2020
The Case of the Red-Faced Thespian - S4-E12
Continuity mistake: Magnum asks Valerie Kane to show him her legs. Much to the viewer's enjoyment, she does; she also does it putting her right arm parallel to the edge of the desk, but in the following shot it's just like in the one before, across the desk, on the papers. (00:32:50)
1st Jun 2020
The Case of the Red-Faced Thespian - S4-E12
Continuity mistake: Sir Fearing Pangborn announces the "encore selection" with a hand on the sheet/tunic, but he had that hand low in the previous shot. (00:31:50)
1st Jun 2020
The Case of the Red-Faced Thespian - S4-E12
Continuity mistake: In the midst of the 'murder investigation', Magnum decides to just chill and watch a movie. He sits on the couch reciting the lines off the top of his head and with a falsetto. Notice that at the left edge of the frame there's a book popping in, roughly positioned between two pillows. You see the book again in the reaction overhead shot when TC calls Magnum to help out of the predicament Higgins is in, but it's more to the left. (00:30:25)
1st Jun 2020
The Case of the Red-Faced Thespian - S4-E12
Continuity mistake: Lady Cynthia Warrington-Stout gets up with Rick after the swim. She has her towel and shoes in her left hand, which becomes the right when Archer Hayes is spying on them. (00:21:00)
1st Jun 2020
The Case of the Red-Faced Thespian - S4-E12
Continuity mistake: Inez Stuart signs up the program for TC; a program that is rolled up, opened, closed, rolled up again. (00:17:40)
1st Jun 2020
The Case of the Red-Faced Thespian - S4-E12
Continuity mistake: The close-up of Robin's door with the "WRITING" sign on the handle features a shadow completely different from the one Magnum's body casts in the previous and following shot. (00:09:45)
1st Jun 2020
The Case of the Red-Faced Thespian - S4-E12
Continuity mistake: Magnum just met the Athertons. The secretary asks him to speak in private, and Mrs. Atherton gives him a knowing look. She holds her foulard in hand differently between the two shots. (00:09:10)
1st Jun 2020
The Case of the Red-Faced Thespian - S4-E12
Continuity mistake: When Magnum asks Hayes what's the secretary doing at the estate and not in Greece, he has both hands on the card. Next shot and, like in previous ones by the same angle, his right hand is on the piano. (00:07:55)
1st Jun 2020
The Case of the Red-Faced Thespian - S4-E12
Continuity mistake: Archer Hayes shows Magnum the invite with the wrong time. He hands it with his right, which turns into the left in the reverse shot. (00:07:40)
1st Jun 2020
The Case of the Red-Faced Thespian - S4-E12
Continuity mistake: Trying to exterminate the mongooses with extreme prejudice, Higgins lights up the bombs twice in two separate shots. (00:03:35)
1st Jun 2020
The Case of the Red-Faced Thespian - S4-E12
Continuity mistake: Higgins mentions Robin's project to finance "a home for incorrigible boys." He already has in hand the two bombs he reaches for in the bag during the next shot. (00:03:10)
31st May 2020
Continuity mistake: Eric Bana is listening to the police radio frequencies at the beginning of the movie. He does it in close-up with his left hand on the money, by his right arm, but in the next shot his position is different, since his hand is holding the right forearm. (00:00:50)
