Brittany Runs a Marathon (2019)

Magnum, P.I. (1980)
Forty Years from Sand Island - S3-E17
Continuity mistake: Magnum approaches the Nakamura house getting out of the car with light beige shoes. The young and pretty granddaughter of the deceased walks him around the corner, to her father. In the scene with Russell Nakamura, Nancy's Father, Magnum suddenly has dark brown moccasins, which you can see when he walks towards him and then away. And then when Nancy walks him back to his car, the beige shoes are back. (00:20:10)

Forty Years from Sand Island - S3-E17

Forty Years from Sand Island - S3-E17

Magnum, P.I. (1980)
Continuity mistake: Harry MacKenzie gets two big splotches of cake on his suit. Dances with his niece, and then comes back to the buffet table taunting his nephew. No (or at least, very little) splotches at first, but in the closer view his suit is all soiled again. (00:06:20)

Magnum, P.I. (1980)
Continuity mistake: Rick and TC are at the wedding buffet. Behind them as they toast in memoriam of Magnum there is a dancing couple. She has a pink hat and her date has a yellow jacket. There's also a black guy in a brown jacket busting some groovy moves of dad dance. Both are also behind Higgins as he arrives, though. The couple also walks back and forth padding the background in the rest of the scene. (00:03:50)

Magnum, P.I. (1980)

Magnum, P.I. (1980)

Magnum, P.I. (1980)
Continuity mistake: A puzzled Higgins spots the drunk and disorderly Elizabeth Barrett sitting on the cart, champagne in hand. He greets her; when he states his actual name dispelling any rumor of him being a seagull, you can see a woman with a very colourful (rainbow, in fact) sweater walk behind him. The same woman passes another time, and is also at the conveyor belt, opposite side of the hall. (00:07:40)
