Continuity mistake: Higgins and Thomas are walking in the hotel arm in arm. In the establishing shot there are two women talking almost in front of the sliding doors, but one is gone at the cut. Similarly, the distances between the other people in the hall are not consistent. (00:10:45)

3rd Apr 2020
Magnum P.I. (2018)
Continuity mistake: Rick gets to Robin's Nest after the unsuccessful chat with Icepick. TC and Magnu mare browsing "FlicPhoto." Magnum pushes a button, one photo loads, but in close-up it's a different one. (00:09:15)
3rd Apr 2020
Magnum P.I. (2018)
Continuity mistake: During the conversation with Icepick, his hand has perfect consistency as far as the pose goes, with one finger stretched along the receiver. What changes is the position of the hand, though; you can tell that between shots the tip of his forefinger is lower or higher up on the intercom phone, sometimes so high to be off the top of it. (00:07:00)
3rd Apr 2020
Magnum P.I. (2018)
Continuity mistake: In the flashback, Toni tells Rick that Lyons rebought for 30k and didn't blink. Her hand is on her hip, elbow at right angle. Reverse shot, and her arm is down her side. (00:03:25)
3rd Apr 2020
Magnum P.I. (2018)
Continuity mistake: Higgins sees from the live security cameras that Alan Sako arrived on the 22nd floor, elevator doors -just - starting to close. Then some humorous bickering ensues between Magnum and her; you'd think the two would have better things to do in a highly time sensitive life-or-death situation than go for gags for the audience, but no worries; when she looks back at the monitor 15 seconds later, Sako is still there with the elevator doors that are still closing behind him. (00:33:25)
3rd Apr 2020
Magnum P.I. (2018)
Continuity mistake: When Magnum chokes out of the security guard, he slumps down off the chair, but Magnum is still lowering him from the seat in the next shot. (00:33:10)
3rd Apr 2020
Magnum P.I. (2018)
Continuity mistake: Magnum and Higgins are checking out of the fourth address TC gave them; they walk around a palm tree in the first shot, and the street and asphalt are in the shadows. Reverse shot when they talk about 'mansplaining' and that part of the road is all nice and sunny. (00:24:30)
3rd Apr 2020
Magnum P.I. (2018)
Continuity mistake: TC rings Magnum with a lead about the quad bikes rented out. Magnum instantly leaves to pursue that - however, in the first shot of him riding into the sunset with the Ferrari he is wearing a different (light blue) shirt and is alone in the car, while he arrives to his destination wearing the navy henley he had on all along, and with Higgins at his side. (00:23:55)
3rd Apr 2020
Magnum P.I. (2018)
Continuity mistake: Amy Hill holds the book with the picture of the uhiuhi plant with her hand on top of the junction between pages in close-up. Nowhere near there in the previous and following shot. (00:14:50)
3rd Apr 2020
Magnum P.I. (2018)
Continuity mistake: After Amanda Sako botches a pose and talks with Higgins, she asks her "What makes you such an expert" while Perdita Weeks is leaning forward, taking the arm away from the knee to move the hand over the other leg on mat. At the response about age, she is in the same pose she began the previous shot in, with the arm over her raised knee. (00:11:35)
3rd Apr 2020
Magnum P.I. (2018)
Continuity mistake: During the yoga training, Amanda falls forward during a toestand. Higgins in the wider shot is touching her back, while her hand was lower in the first shot; also she falls with her hand within the platform, but as Apollo hops over to lick her face, her arm is off the platform. (00:11:00)
3rd Apr 2020
Magnum P.I. (2018)
Continuity mistake: Detective Gordon Katsumoto passes his phone to Magnum so he can check out of the ziplock wounds. Magnum holds it with his left hand, in close-up too. New shot, and he's holding it in his right hand. (00:10:20)
3rd Apr 2020
Magnum P.I. (2018)
Continuity mistake: During the yoga training, Higgins asks Amanda "You think I do this to stay in shape?" Amanda's braids are both in front of her shoulders, but when she gives her a quizzical look the right braid is behind the matching shoulder. (00:08:55)
3rd Apr 2020
Magnum P.I. (2018)
Continuity mistake: Magnum goes upstairs with Amanda's mom and dad and finds her on the bed browsing the family album. Pay special attention in close-up; the leftmost is a brightly lit portrait-style picture. Makes rather noticeable that Amanda is turning the same page over and over in the different separate shots. (00:03:25)
3rd Apr 2020
Monk (2002)
Mr. Monk and the Candidate (1) - S1-E1
Continuity mistake: When Mrs. St. Claire refers Mr. Monk as "Rain man", her glass is about an inch and a half full. Next time we see her the level of liquid has dropped. (00:16:45)
3rd Apr 2020
Magnum P.I. (2018)
Continuity mistake: At the beginning of the episode, Katsumoto opens the fence with his left hand holding the torch and walks through it, but the arm is already raised in the following shot. (00:00:25)
3rd Apr 2020
Magnum, P.I. (1980)
Foiled Again - S3-E7
Continuity mistake: When the contestants are announced (in a thick French accent), it is said that Higgins fences from the right position. Rick later states, accusing Higgins, that "A lot of people heard Higgins ask for the right side." When the odious rival shows up, he says "You asked for the left position?" to which Higgins nods. (00:11:50 - 00:13:00)
3rd Apr 2020
Magnum, P.I. (1980)
Foiled Again - S3-E7
Continuity mistake: When Magnum confronts the real culprit, in the couple of POV shots they are not wearing the gloves they have in the rest of the fight. (00:43:40)
3rd Apr 2020
Magnum, P.I. (1980)
Foiled Again - S3-E7
Continuity mistake: After hearing from Magnum about Velma Troubshaw's conversation with the DA, Higgins shows up at her mansion and knocks at the door. The shadows of the foliage (and the shadow of John Hillerman himself) change noticeably at the cut. (00:37:00)
3rd Apr 2020
Magnum, P.I. (1980)
Foiled Again - S3-E7
Continuity mistake: Magnum visits Assistant District Attorney Carol Baldwin who is having her lunch break outside. She has a paper towel around the yogurt container she's eating from, but when the camera is to her left the napkin reaches the rim of the container, whenever the camera is to her right it's an inch lower. (00:21:45)
