Magnum, P.I. (1980)

The Ugliest Dog in Hawaii - S1-E8

Continuity mistake: In the close-up of Sir Algernon Farnsworth barking immediately after the jeep's tank is punctured by the bullet, he's on a car seat with a plaid pattern, but the interior of the car, back seats included, was shown during the gas station scene as beige/sheepskin. (00:23:00)

Magnum, P.I. (1980)

The Ugliest Dog in Hawaii - S1-E8

Continuity mistake: When the mobster shoots TC's helicopter, he snipes at great range with a revolver and manages to make a hole in one of the chopper's windows, or so at least it looks in close-up, since there's no bullet hole in the other views. (00:39:25)

Magnum, P.I. (1980)

The Ugliest Dog in Hawaii - S1-E8

Continuity mistake: Magnum and Sharon pass over the fence of the impounded pier (and Sir Algernon Farnsworth passes through it). There's no significant natural light in the scene, but when they reach the building at the end of the pier in the next shot, the whole pier they ran on is suddenly fully sunlit. (00:30:25)

The Ugliest Dog in Hawaii - S1-E8

Continuity mistake: Shawn Hoskins is waiting at the gas station when she is approached by one mafioso posing as a 5-0 agent. In the establishing shot her hair is in front of both shoulders, but closer angles feature her with her left shoulder clear of any hair. (00:20:25)

Plot of Fear (1976)

Continuity mistake: Inspector Gaspare Lomenzo arrives home and bickers with his girlfriend. After telling her that he's her "white slave", he leans against the counter; his hand is on the corner in the wider angle, on the front in the close-up. (00:09:20)

Magnum, P.I. (1980)

The Ugliest Dog in Hawaii - S1-E8

Continuity mistake: At the beginning of the episode, the mobster park illegally on the yellow zone. During the hijinks that ensue, the extras' movements don't transition from one shot to the next. You can see it right at the first cut; conspicuous extras such as one holding a red bag, or a girl in an ethnic skirt selling leis, appear all of a sudden. Plus, there's a big amount of recycling with the extras - there's a guy in Hawaiian blue shirt carrying a suitcase that keeps walking by Victor DiGorgio. (00:02:40)

Never Again... Never Again - S1-E7

Continuity mistake: After the cliffhanger with Higgins pointing his gun at someone and seemingly unaware that that someone has a backup, it's time to show Magnum again that is rushing back home saying in voiceover how worried he is. Slightly undermining the severity of the predicament is the fact that in that particular shot and just there, he's driving with no pants on. (00:28:50)

Never Again... Never Again - S1-E7

Continuity mistake: When Magnum runs into Saul and Lena's home, the shadow of the hedge covers the whole steps. They stay inside less than a minute, and when Rick stands there wondering how's gonna break the news gently, the hedge shadow reaches barely half the width of the steps. (00:11:10)
