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)

Magnum, P.I. (1980)
The Woman on the Beach - S2-E3
Continuity mistake: Magnum and Rick's relative distances seem to be quite off when they are talking to each other from the respective cars; the Ferrari's driver seat seems to be past Rick's in Tom Selleck's close-ups, but when Larry Manetti is talking, he's looking at Selleck's stand-in (sit-in, rather) from a noticeable distance ahead.

(00:46:45 - 00:47:35)
