Three Minus Two - S2-E21

Other mistake: A plastic bag with a wallet and a watch, placed right next to a claymore mine when it explodes with a whole car, would hardly stay perfectly intact, and completely untouched by the police when they already towed the car to the impound lot.

Three Minus Two - S2-E21

Other mistake: Magnum spots a patrol car inside the impound lot. He and TC duck down, and they are at the side of the car. The same side the camera is at, when it gives us a view of the patrol car passing by. It's plain daylight, and they officers have to be completely blind to Miss those two big dudes lying by the side of the car in a spot they have a clean eyesight on. (00:36:20)

Three Minus Two - S2-E21

Other mistake: The whole Ferrari/pick-up truck shenanigans of this episode conveniently forget Higgins having usage of a perfectly good Mercedes. (00:47:00)

Sammo ★

Three Minus Two - S2-E21

Other mistake: This episode is the season 2 finale, but was obviously produced early, with numerous shots from it appearing in the opening. A big deal is made out of Magnum borrowing "the Rolls Royce of cameras", but he has used routinely the camera throughout the season. Higgins even asks him if he needs instructions about the various lenses, when one of the previous episodes involved as sub-plot replacing one of the priciest ones, and the feature-length episode had a bit about it as well.

The Elmo Ziller Story - S2-E20

Other mistake: There are spotty areas in the plot of the episode; in particular, it's never explained how can Elmo make an appearance at the newspaper office - but at the same time also be considered dead, and Higgins be at the hotel - and who would be riding his bronco leading others to believe he's around.

Sammo ★

The Elmo Ziller Story - S2-E20

Other mistake: Elmo tells Magnum that the attempt to his life consisted of "three shots through the windshield before the truck turned over, caught fire." The opening scene had just one rifle shot, not three. (00:15:45)

The Last Page - S2-E19

Other mistake: In less than 30 seconds of uninterrupted dialogue, the bomb advances from 1:05 to 11 seconds to go. (00:45:50 - 00:46:15)

Sammo ★

Double Jeopardy - S2-E18

Other mistake: Olivia Ross crushes in anger the paper cup she was drinking coffee from - and she does not wet her hand or stain her perfect white dress doing so. (00:23:25)

Sammo ★

Texas Lightning - S2-E17

Other mistake: Magnum lights up a signal fire for TC. It is supposed then to raise significant smoke (which Rick spots) in a short time, but when we see the fire, it's not generating visible smoke. Moreover, Magnum uses fuel to light it up, but they are supposedly out of gas and had to paddle for a long while before getting to the island, so it's odd that they'd suddenly have spare fuel for that predicament the day after. (00:38:45)

One More Summer - S2-E16

Other mistake: Someone shoots in the dark at the trio in front of the sandal king's house. Former Navy Seal Magnum must have read the script and know that the assailant was only gonna shoot once, because he jumps up from his sitting position and just stands there looking pensive at the bushes like a complete fool, taking no cover, nor trying to protect his client while the wife is dead. (00:33:20)

Sammo ★

One More Summer - S2-E16

Other mistake: Mrs. Greeley mentions the sandal king's wife putting the hooks on the quarterback "yesterday at the party." That would mean that every previous event - Magnum showing up to the first day of practice, going back to the estate where Higgins annoys him, being 'hired' to practise with the team - all happens in a day. TC actually mentions the practice "the other day" which contradicts it explicitly, but even without that, all of it is patently absurd - including TC showing up independently from him. (00:19:10 - 00:30:30)

Sammo ★

Other mistake: One of the trivia questions asks "Which one of the following skills is not used by the Ikki brothers?", but it is wrong. The possible choices are 3 skills not used by Ikki or Shun, and the 4th is a skill from Shun, Ikki's brother.

Show generally

Other mistake: Inevitably the officers have to concisely give to the quirky inspector a quick profile of the suspect. For their "background checks" they read from profile sheets. It is unclear if they wrote them themselves or not; sometimes especially in earlier seasons they seem to receive them. These sheets contain sentences often written in a rather informal tone that does not fit the format, and in fact often you can see that whatever the officer is saying in casual tone as if it were part of the dialogue is written verbatim on the sheet itself. Example; 6-8, when Florence says "He's big on family values and promoting education in the community", with her line already readable word for word on the sheet in Jack's hand in the previous shot.

Italian Ice - S2-E15

Other mistake: During the climactic scene at the acting class, the students are shown in several panning shots. If you go back to the first scene at the same location, when the students were walking away at the end of the lesson you can notice that every extra a day after wears the exact same clothes as they were the day before. (00:22:00 - 00:43:00)

Sammo ★

Try to Remember - S2-E14

Other mistake: Higgins hypnotizes Magnum using as pendulum a medallion, which is a reused prop from the very previous episode; Paulo, the "travelling companion" aka boytoy of his ex fiancée, was wearing it in the finale. It makes no sense for him to have it - unless you want to write your own dark fanfiction about it. It was just a throwaway prop, on screen for a second or two, and reutilized for another brief scene here. (00:31:50 - 00:47:25)

Sammo ★

Computer Date - S2-E13

Other mistake: A big deal is made of Magnum wearing a suit, both by Higgins and by Magnum himself when he speaks to others. You'd expect then this to be the first time we see him donning such a formal, wear and head into a corporate meeting, but he wore in fact a suit for a long portion of screentime just two episodes prior, in Ghost Writer (2-11).

Sammo ★

Other mistake: The technical documentation of the Seravee Gundam says that "Improvements to the GN Field's defensive capabilities provides it with better performance." Improvements provide, not provideS.

Sammo ★

Try to Remember - S2-E14

Other mistake: Magnum states his date of birth to the doctor; "August 8th, 1944." On his driver license in "Memories Are Forever" (when the General shows it to his wife) the date was January 5th 1946. (00:05:35 - 00:40:55)

Sammo ★

Other mistake: Completing the quest "Have 50 Friends, send 3,000 hearts" gives you a perk that is called "Celebrity I" in the mission report, and "Well Known I" in the trophy showcase.

Sammo ★

Other mistake: The name of Virgo's sidestory is "Ten Trillion worlds apart", as it shows in the quest list and in the in-game story, but in several other parts of the game it appears as simply "Trillion worlds apart"
