Continuity mistake: In the reaction shot on Aunt Stella when Chris tells "I am (perfect) ", she is standing upright and with one hand on her mouth in surprise. Next shot and she's in the background leaning on the bar with both hands. (00:19:50)

Simply Irresistible (1999)
Continuity mistake: Tom just had the first bite of the Napoleon crab and tells his date "You should really try this." Chris in a blatant lack of continuity goes from having her arms wide at the side of the plate, to raised arms with hands joined. And in the rest of the scene there are more inconsistencies in her hand motions, at practically every cut. (00:18:50)

Magnum, P.I. (1980)
Continuity mistake: Magnum drops by at the hotel where he expect to find Kate and the Jororo delegation. As he pulls over in front of it, there are two elder ladies walking by, away from the hotel. One of them is wearing bright yellow pants and a very colourful top with horizontal stripes. Magnum gets into the hotel, and one of the extras he walks past right as he approaches the concierge, is that lady. And the other lady she was walking with, in a blue dress with white and red palms, is at the same desk. (00:21:45)

20th May 2020
Magnum, P.I. (1980)
Continuity mistake: In the scene with Mac and Rick fishing at the marina, continuity is all over the place as far as their hand movements is concerned; they move the fishing line with one hand that becomes the other in the next shot, several times. (00:13:00)

Magnum, P.I. (1980)

20th May 2020
Magnum, P.I. (1980)
Continuity mistake: The very first shot of the episode after the opening shows TC's chopper with the flotation skids and serial number N58243, but when it lands on the roof it's the more familiar N1095A with no such pads. (00:01:30)

Magnum, P.I. (1980)
Continuity mistake: Magnum is talking with Mr. White, hands raised, for some reason. When the camera is behind Tom Selleck, his two forefingers of the right hand are close together, while filmed from the front they distant enough to keep the index out of frame entirely. (00:15:30)
