Magnum, P.I. (1980)

No Need to Know - S1-E5

Other mistake: When the lads chase Magnum at the beginning, first of all they take a disproportionate amount of time to reach him, and secondly, the same footage is reused, so they effectively sprint past the same tree (with the same 2 dead leaves and straw by it) twice. (00:04:40 - 00:05:05)

Magnum, P.I. (1980)

Thank Heaven for Little Girls and Big Ones Too - S1-E4

Other mistake: Magnum gets inside the Waikiki Natatorium War Memorial climbing athletically over the closed gate. The bad guy comes roughly from the same direction, but given his physical state, one wonders how could he accomplish such a feat - it is conveniently kept off camera, but he comes from a direction with no gates. To beat him to the finish, Rick picks another direction entirely just walking around the bleachers! And they all end up at the same location.

Magnum, P.I. (1980)

China Doll - S1-E3

Other mistake: Mai Ling is left in the sun for 8 hours at least, according to Magnum. She is drugged and in danger of dying. Yet her skin has no sign of any stress. They take time to show, of course, but when they meet with Higgins at the end of the episode (which is implied not being long after, with Higgins fixing the vase) she does not have anything unusual either (like a goofy sunglasses tanline).

Magnum, P.I. (1980)

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

Other mistake: For the cool shot when Magnum smiles at the camera and then drives off (which will be used in the opening of the show for its whole run), Magnum unclips the detachable roof of Robin's 308 GTS and gives it a good push back. But it's not a retractable roof that folds in, but a Targa hard-top. So, basically Magnum just dumped a piece of Robin Master's fancy car in a random lawn somewhere near his estate, maybe even denting the rear of the car in the process as he carelessly shoved it back. That's inconsiderate even for Magnum's low standards. (00:06:10)

Saint Seiya: Awakening

Other mistake: The title of Chapter 10.3 of the side stories is "Protection! Guard's daily." The last part is left out.

Magnum, P.I. (1980)

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

Other mistake: During the Vietnam flashback that Magnum gets when he looks at Lieutenant Dan Cook's ring, there is a shot of the helicopter in between the first two radio calls TC does. In that shot, the footage is obviously flipped, with the writing "MARINES" appearing as "ƧƎИIЯAM" (00:45:00)

Sammo

Other mistake: Arcade version; in one of the cutscenes between fights, Geese asks his henchman Ripper "Hey! get the information from him." From who? What he really means, and that's what he says in console ports, is "Hey! Get more information on him!"

Sammo

Other mistake: In the SNES version, the line "Dude! Geese is calling you! Come with us!" is spoken by nobody onscreen (there's no artwork for Hopper and Ripper, Geese's henchmen), nor there is any visual hint; unless you played already the arcade/Neo Geo version, it looks like it's still Joe talking.

Sammo

Other mistake: The intro crawl of the SNES version contains various flubs; it calls the tournament "The King of the Fighters", when it's simply "The King of Fighters", "Southtown City" when it should be "South Town", and the final sentence "Only through deadly combat can you be crowned the King of the Fighters..." is just odd.

Sammo

Other mistake: The very last screen when you play the arcade and you manage to finish the game features the logo of the series and the message "Congratulation."

Saint Seiya: Awakening

Other mistake: The Legion Quest tab lists all the possible weekly quests; the description of the Legion Dungeon one says "total legion dungeon CHANLLENGE."

Saint Seiya: Awakening

Other mistake: One of the trivia questions asks which of the 12 zodiac temples is connected to the Pope's chambers. The only answer that has "Temple" in its name ("Pisces Temple") is the correct one.

Sammo

Other mistake: One of the roulette events of the game is called "Serena's roulette", but the name of the character is Serina, as shown plenty of times during story mode when she is an interviewer.

Saint Seiya: Awakening

Other mistake: In the Sanctuary invasion side story, Carlos warns that "The Sanctuary has been invaded. There peace of the world has been broken", instead of "the peace." There are other words blatantly wrong, such as, when talking to the priest "Let's see of your heart is sincere enough", instead of "if."

The Countess - S1-E4

Other mistake: Rockford films the car driving off, then there are a few seconds of pause, with James Garner not keeping the camera still anymore and tilting it in different directions, before someone unseen bellows at him "What are you doing?" When he reviews the footage with his client in his trailer, the voice arrives instantly and there's no jerking the camera around. (00:06:20)

The Kirkoff Case - S1-E2

Other mistake: Both Rockford's appointments are at 8 o'clock. He shows up for the one with the mysterious person; gets beaten up, dragged to a warehouse (presumably remote, from what it is shown), beaten up some more to the point of spitting out a tooth, he is then at LAPD, where everyone hates him and definitely does not prioritize his case, he makes Becker search for the warehouse's registration, which needs for him to call in favours, and he turns then up for Tawnia's appointment at 9. With all the stuff that happened, and with the typical LA traffic, it'd already be something to be a mere one hour late without all the rest in the middle of it. Even his wound is kinda healed in that short time.

Backlash of the Hunter - S1-E1

Other mistake: The bad guy collapses after drinking what Sara gave him, but in the close-up she managed to squeeze barely 1 drop of the substance and it went right on top of the horizontal ice cube. It must be the most powerful narcotic in the world, putting KO a mountain of a man within seconds with a single drop that arguably didn't even mix with the drink. Had she put a couple drops in, it would have straight up murdered him, then.

Backlash of the Hunter - S1-E1

Other mistake: Jerry Grimes follows Rockford to the theater, sits at the bar, orders bourbon and water and waits for Jim to come out of the bathroom. Jim meanwhile set up a trap for him, which somehow does not affect anyone else, and Jerry ends up getting roughed up. He then drives off to this other joint, where he sits at the bar...which happens to be the exact same bar with the exact same posters as the other one.
