Magnum, P.I. (1980)

All Roads Lead to Floyd - S1-E13

Continuity mistake: The editing of Floyd's accident-inducing drive is all wonky. He cuts the path of a SkyHawk, and already the footage from the back of the car is at wrong distance; given the relative speeds it's way too close. Floyd's slalom continues and goes on and on, but when he stops, the part of the road he's in does not match at the cut, and you can see behind him the exact same SkyHawk as before. (00:25:40)

Magnum, P.I. (1980)

All Roads Lead to Floyd - S1-E13

Continuity mistake: Magnum pulls over at the airport; a woman with a curly long hair, brown pantsuit, creme shirt and sunglasses is on the sidewalk by him. First person that comes out from the flight with Magnum's client; same woman. And you could tell she was also in the sequence when he was running (you don't see her face but the briefcase and shoes match, along with the rest). Other extras are recycled anyway, such as the petite grey lady with the purple dress who walks in opposite directions also when Magnum and his client leave the airport. (00:10:30)

All Roads Lead to Floyd - S1-E13

Continuity mistake: Floyd parks his car next to a Cadillac Eldorado with FLOWER license plate. He parks casting a shadow on the front of the car, including the whole hood. He has a brief chat with the Japanese mobsters, and after barely two minutes, the shadow on the Cadillac shrunk. (00:02:00 - 00:04:30)

All Roads Lead to Floyd - S1-E13

Continuity mistake: Yoshio Mizamura nods at the terms offered by Floyd. In the background, one person is sitting in a golf cart. The burly goon relays the response to Floyd, and suddenly nobody is driving that golf cart anymore. (00:03:05)

Thicker Than Blood - S1-E12

Continuity mistake: Magnum is dosing tabasco into the thing his girlfriend makes him prepare; notice he's wearing his team ring with the proper orientation (two arms of the cross of Lorraine closer to his hand). When he pushes the button of the mixer, the ring is upside down. (00:14:40)

Thicker Than Blood - S1-E12

Continuity mistake: Magnum is following the icky instructions for a protein drink left by his unseen girlfriend with the golden voice. Somehow from eggs, flat beer and tomato juice, the result is a green mix. He is blending it in close-up on the table (the wood texture is a tell), but he recovers the goop from a different piece of furniture with a sink. (00:14:40)

The Curse of the King Kamehameha Club - S1-E11

Continuity mistake: When Magnum pushes the journalist's foot off the accelerator and steps on the brake, he's wearing white worn-out Converse sneakers with light purple socks and she's wearing tan stockings and pumps. Wen they walked up to the car, though, she was wearing open toed shoes with no stockings, and Magnum was wearing brown boat shoes earlier when he arrived at Mr. Dollinger's home.

The Curse of the King Kamehameha Club - S1-E11

Continuity mistake: After the unexpected death of the champion racer, the protagonists discuss in Rick's office. Higgins is wearing a blue blazer with the navy and beige tie he wore during the announcement and curse. The fire alarm rings, and for the kitchen scene Higgins somehow had time to change his tie to a regimental one with thin red stripes. (00:12:00 - 00:14:20)
