Revealing mistake: When Georgia and Poupi are walking back towards the bus from the store where she buys food for everyone, several bystanders at both sides of the road just stand there looking at the camera. (00:17:30)

My Life in Ruins (2009)
Continuity mistake: Georgia and Poupi are taking a walk after she admitted to be starved for sex. During their walk a girl in a green top accompanied by a guy in a brown T-shirt pass them to the left of Nia Vardalos, appear in reverse shot to the right of Alexis Georgoulis, and are back behind Nia.

My Life in Ruins (2009)
Continuity mistake: When Gator shows up, he folds the map in the second shot, but all of a sudden he still has an unfolded map to mess with for some 'comedy' in the next shot, in a rather bad transition. (00:09:40)

My Life in Ruins (2009)
Continuity mistake: When the Spanish tourists introduce themselves, Nia Vardalos is suddenly writing on the board and at the cut still holding the bribe money. (00:09:00)

My Life in Ruins (2009)
Continuity mistake: Time to board the bus. Georgia tells the passenger that he can't smoke; she is holding her clipboard clutching it to her chest, then one hand, then arms crossed to the chest again. (00:08:05)

My Life in Ruins (2009)
Continuity mistake: Georgia retorts to her boss that the tourists are the boring ones. The boss holds the papers in hand, in front of her, but in the following shot with the camera behind her, Maria is listening with her hands on her hips. (00:03:15)

Magnum, P.I. (1980)
Continuity mistake: The kid in the hospital has a very slim bracelet on his left wrist. In close-up when he sets the modem up he has a thick one. (00:24:30)
26th May 2020
Magnum, P.I. (1980)
Revealing mistake: When Magnum gives chase to the guy who took the elevator, you can spot Tom Lupo (Selleck's stunt double) 's face. He's the one doing the hard work of running down the stairs. (00:18:20)

Magnum, P.I. (1980)
Revealing mistake: At the very conclusion, the plane exploding has two sets of wings, not the Spitfire model that was supposed to be. (00:47:25)

Magnum, P.I. (1980)
Continuity mistake: During the ending, when Rick tries to be happy for avenging his sister, and when his buddies try to lighten up the mood, Larry Manetti's hands go from juxtaposed to entwined, back and forth several times. (00:44:35)

Magnum, P.I. (1980)
Continuity mistake: In the finale, Rick says "But those agents said..." his left hand in the shade and with its side flat on the table by the beer stack. Next shot and it's raised and in a different spot, and so on and so forth as the two angles switch. (00:44:20)

Magnum, P.I. (1980)
Revealing mistake: When the jeep crashes flying in the air and rolling on one side, it is occupied by crash dummies, with blank faces and who flop lifeless out of the vehicle. (00:43:05)
25th May 2020
Magnum, P.I. (1980)
Continuity mistake: The final automatic weapon burst that brings down the baddies breaks in close-up the right stoplight and the back license plate. The car rolls over, and before the explosion the license is in one piece, but taped blank. (00:42:55)

Magnum, P.I. (1980)
Revealing mistake: When TC's chopper flies over the runaway jeep, "TC" piloting the heli is some guy wearing a black ski mask. (00:40:15)
25th May 2020
Magnum, P.I. (1980)
Plot hole: There's this remote drug hideout. A chopper flies by it, multiple salvos of uzis are fired, people are screaming...and yet this dude calmly approaches it and opens the door with a bag of groceries. Any of those sounds would have been heard for a mile or more in a place like that. There's no possible way that a drug merchant would unsuspectingly waltz into the place. And there's a buddy of his in a jeep (open one, too) waiting outside, who did not hear anything and nobody heard that vehicle approach, either. (00:39:20)
25th May 2020
Magnum, P.I. (1980)
Continuity mistake: After Rick has covered the distance from the rocks to the house and touches the wall, it cuts back to TC's chopper with Magnum. In those two shots the chopper has flotation pads, while in all the other flight views it has the normal skids. (00:36:00)

Magnum, P.I. (1980)
Continuity mistake: Magnum asks Carol Baldwin "Please, come on, I need to know" pointing at her bag containing a large folder. Her left hand holds the bag differently at the cut (thumb on the inside / thumb against the buckle). (00:24:05)

Magnum, P.I. (1980)
Other mistake: Rick enters Wendy's room shouting like a madman, and then reaches the bedroom door trying to turn and pull the knob. He bangs the door, calls for Magnum's help, and both then bust the door open. In all that, the guy going through Wendy's underwear and bed sheets is still unfazed and stops what he's doing merely when they almost fall on him. (00:18:00)
25th May 2020
Magnum, P.I. (1980)
Character mistake: Magnum mutters that they can still make it to the second half of Bambi, "Thumper is probably still alive." Thumper does not die in "Bambi", as Magnum should know since he's seen the movie already. Props to him for being cautious with spoilers casually leaking a fake one, then?
