The Woman on the Beach - S2-E3
Continuity mistake: Having a drink with Rick and Lisa at the end of the episode, she says "Because I didn't know where Sara was buried." Her right arm is on the table; in the next shot the hand is off it, and it keeps going back and forth, with the hand on or off the purse, that happens to shift as well. (00:46:35)

The Woman on the Beach - S2-E3
Continuity mistake: Rick calls for Magnum ("Thomas, over here!") and pushes Lisa behind him, but in the next shot she is still at his side. (00:44:40)

The Woman on the Beach - S2-E3
Revealing mistake: Lisa is hiding from Ellison inside the potting shed; the camera is following him, and you can see him move his head avoiding a big leaf that the camera itself pushes, showing its presence. (00:44:00)

The Woman on the Beach - S2-E3
Continuity mistake: Magnum holds the shawl he found half-buried in the ground; in the first shot the clothing is well puffed above his left fingers, in the reverse his hands he never moved are holding the fabric straight. (00:24:30)

The Woman on the Beach - S2-E3
Continuity mistake: Magnum picks a figurine up from Higgins' diorama; he does it in close-up, where the remaining character, going by main garment's color, are (left to right); white - green - orange. Rest of the scene, they are green - orange - white. (00:20:35)

The Woman on the Beach - S2-E3
Continuity mistake: Smoking his cigar, Magnum is checking out Tybald's figurine having a very different posture in the two shots. (00:20:40)
16th May 2020
The Woman on the Beach - S2-E3
Factual error: The opening sequence is set in "Summer 1945", and the librarian mentions as well the season; summer. The prop that Magnum is checking out though, has a headline identifying it as April 17, not quite summer. (00:17:55)
16th May 2020
The Woman on the Beach - S2-E3
Continuity mistake: Henry Ellison puts down on the table a gold lighter that keeps changing position throughout the scene in his study, going from straight to angled several times. (00:15:50 - 00:16:55)
16th May 2020
The Woman on the Beach - S2-E3
Continuity mistake: Rick spots the portrait of the mysterious woman on the beach (who apparently always wears the same clothes); the clock hands are at 12:10 when he stands and approaches it. In close-up it's twenty to 4. (00:16:10)
16th May 2020
The Woman on the Beach - S2-E3

The Woman on the Beach - S2-E3
Continuity mistake: The Woman on the Beach is actually on the beach and talks to Rick. She says; "I wish I could be that way" across two shots where the position of her scarf changes completely. (00:11:55)
16th May 2020
The Woman on the Beach - S2-E3
Continuity mistake: Rick asks Kemo the bartender for a cigarette. In the background, a man in black walks by a tiki torch. Cut to Kemo for a second as he hands him the cig, and when Rick is back in frame, the man in black is walking by another tiki torch that was several meters earlier in his path. (00:09:00)
16th May 2020
The Woman on the Beach - S2-E3
Other mistake: First scene set in present day. Exterior shot of Rick's club. A sign says "King Kamehameha Club - Est.1905", In the previous season, episode 11 was focused on the club itself, and Magnum met the landlord, Mr. Sidney Dollinger, who explicitly said "I founded that club for the people.", and Magnum, regretting accusing him, mentions that he blamed "an 80-years-old man." Even assuming he was not precisely 80 in 1981, in 1905 he still would have been a pre-teen or barely a teenager, not the rich planter who founded Hawaii's most exclusive club donating a vast domain to it. (00:05:30)

The Woman on the Beach - S2-E3
Continuity mistake: The woman in white leans over the back of a chair and clears her throat to discreetly shoo away an officer with his belle. There's difference in lighting between close-ups and the rest, and the position of the loose end of her scarf changes as well. (00:02:45)
15th May 2020
Revealing mistake: When Magnum socks the detective, The Turk starts going down with the punch almost before Magnum swings. (00:33:35)
15th May 2020
Factual error: In Chapter 11-2 a vulture is assigned as noise a howling (its speech balloon says " ^Howls^ ").
15th May 2020
Revealing mistake: In the opening montage, the article "Rucker Park today - The streetball Mecca" is also the rightmost column of the entirely diff different publication that comes in the following shot. (00:02:25)
15th May 2020
Other mistake: The episode opens with the Coast Guard finding the boat owned by Marion's father empty. It's a small sailboat. Later Magnum visits it with Marion, and the boat is a small double decker yacht that looks entirely different. (00:01:50 - 00:09:30)
15th May 2020
Continuity mistake: Marion and Magnum walk to the taxi for the goodbye. He opens the door, and her hair is all behind her back. Switching to the frontal view, she has her ponytail in front of the left shoulder. (00:46:00)
