China Doll - S1-E3

Continuity mistake: During the opening credits, two sailors are walking down the street. They pass the "Esquire book store" sign, and reach the "topless bottomless" one. Cut, and they have yet to go past the book store. Similarly, in POV the hooker offers her services, and behind her there's a burly guy with poofy hair and a yellow and white shirt. New shot, and the guy is several meters in front of her. (00:01:45)

Don't Eat the Snow in Hawaii: Part 2 - S1-E2

Continuity mistake: When Magnum is in the airport lobby, extras are recycled continuously; look at the old man with a black and white pattern shirt, sometimes carrying a bag and sometimes with a woman in blue; he walks in the opposite direction than Magnum's in the first shot, reappears with a long delay and coming from the wrong side, then he is behind Magnum as he pushes aside the two Swedish stewardesses, then he's ahead of him, etc.

Don't Eat the Snow in Hawaii - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: After his bitter confrontation with Captain Cooly, Magnum waits for the ensign to head home. Light and timing imply it's sunset, but the scenes at the pier and the car chase happen in broad daylight.

Don't Eat the Snow in Hawaii - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: Magnum is trying to get information from Ensign Healy. Throughout their conversation (in continuity and without breaks), they are in different parts of the pier at the various cuts. They go from 50 to 37 at the first cut, for instance, or when Healy says to Magnum he's "reaching", they are back at the beginning of the walk as you can tell by the boats. (00:29:30)

Don't Eat the Snow in Hawaii - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: In this pilot, Robin Masters' Ferrari does not have the famous vanity plate ROBIN-1 characteristic of the series. The license plate of the car is 56E-478 when first shown, but does not stay the same throughout the episode; when the two yo-yos chase him, the Ferrari's plate is the first one in the city, but 561-068 when they get near to the tunnel, and is back to 56E-478 when the bad guys destroy their (already banged up) car. (00:33:55)

Don't Eat the Snow in Hawaii - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: The jazzy opening credits show Magnum driving to meet his friend. However, footage in the city part towards the end show Magnum wearing a flower shirt instead of his blue polo, and earlier (Rober Loggia's credits) the person that steps on the gas is wearing jeans, while the first thing Magnum has to do when he arrives at the base is putting some pants on. (00:07:00)

Don't Eat the Snow in Hawaii - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: Magnum begins the episode coming out of the water. The hair on his forehead is frizzy as he stretches his shoulder with the old war wound. He begins his run, cut to a new shot with his hair now slicked back. When he reminisces about 'Nam later, his hair returns in a frizzy bang, and by the time he's calling Higgins a yo-yo, it is almost dry. (00:00:30)

Don't Eat the Snow in Hawaii - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: Magnum is at the airport waiting for Dan's family to disembark. When the airplane is landing, it has a large red stripe where the passenger windows are. But Alice gets off a plane with no such stripe. (00:18:50)

Don't Eat the Snow in Hawaii - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: When the drunk Alice Cook hugs Magnum at the airport, behind her, slightly out of focus, there's a man in a grey suit with a yellow shirt passing by. She staggers back, and a couple is passing; he wears a brown suit with a light blue shirt. The couple passes by again, same direction and origin point, when she has a giggling fit at "Are you my boyfriend?", and the man with yellow shirt follows just a second after. (00:20:20)

Don't Eat the Snow in Hawaii - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: When Magnum's friend is dying by the fence, he clings to it; in the first shot, his hand is holding clean chainlinks, in the extreme close-up of his hands, his fingers are going through multiple vines entangled with the fence. (00:11:15)

Continuity mistake: Magnum feeds a parrot that is turned right in close-ups and turned left in the longshots. (00:30:40)

Sammo ★

This Case Is Closed - S1-E7

Continuity mistake: Rockford is incredulous about getting away so easily with a chore, and asks his dad "You mean it's not gonna cost me or anything?" Rocky has his can of beer up high, but in the reverse shot his arm is on the armrest. (00:41:30)

Sammo ★

This Case Is Closed - S1-E7

Continuity mistake: At the Feds' office, Rockford asks FBI Agent David Shore "Would you tell me what's going on?", with his hand on top of the mug. The hand was around it before the cut. (00:35:25)

This Case Is Closed - S1-E7

Continuity mistake: After the fiasco at the gambling table, Rockford goes back to his motel. He parks his car pretty badly, oblique with the front wheel very far from the parking line. When he tries to chase the two 'chamber of commerce' gangsters, the car is waiting for him nicely parked. (00:27:30 - 00:30:30)

This Case Is Closed - S1-E7

Continuity mistake: At the party in Rockford's flashback, Loren says "Say Cathy, what about some backgammon?" Behind him, some chap with bad blonde hair and beige shorts and polo shirt walks from left to right. Reverse shot, and the same guy is walking behind Rockford. (00:17:10)

Continuity mistake: When Rockford is allowed to remove the blind man's glasses, the pen and pencil in front of the boss jump closer to the open journal. (00:13:10)

This Case Is Closed - S1-E7

Continuity mistake: Jim got the address of the car and realises it was a fellow private detective who was following him. He then goes to answer the door. He opens it looking straight forward in the first shot, but in the reverse angle he is foolishly looking away allowing the goons to surprise him. (00:10:55)
