Continuity mistake: Rick's hand with the remote turns at every cut when he makes the password joke on a depressed Higgins. (00:26:20)

Magnum, P.I. (1980)
Continuity mistake: When Magnum does his puking act to make his best friend lose a lucrative job, the lady's hair is in front of her shoulder hen the camera is in front of her, windblown away from it when the camera is behind. (00:21:10)

Magnum, P.I. (1980)
Other mistake: Contrarily to what TC says, the alarm is not 'covered with corrosion', in fact it looks pristine. (00:16:55)

Magnum, P.I. (1980)
Revealing mistake: Rene cleverly avoids the trap; he turns the wheel to the left, but the car swerves to the right. (00:02:10)

Magnum, P.I. (1980)
Factual error: Just before the fade-out of the first shot of Robin's limo in France, there are 3 street signs saying "Meyrargues 5 kms", "Marseilles 22 kms", "Aix-en-Provence 6 kms." It's an impossible triangulation; they are almost on a line, Marseilles is about 40 kms south of Aix, which is about 18 kms south of Meyrargues. (00:01:40)

Magnum, P.I. (1980)
Continuity mistake: The valet brings the Ferrari in front of the club. Digger leans on it with her right hand, dollars in her left hand, but in the next shot the money is on the same hand she is leaning on. (00:07:00)

Magnum, P.I. (1980)
Continuity mistake: At the club, Rick teases Magnum about not being able to break the ice with Joy Doyle. He has his hand on the fruit juice glass, off it, and on it again. (00:05:05)
14th May 2020
Magnum, P.I. (1980)
Plot hole: After the farcical scene with Rick and TC playing Asian goons, Magnum says in his trademark voiceover; "I know what you're thinking. After the phony beach attack, I should have said goodbye", etc. But the staged attack was in a back alley, in the streets. There are a couple of deleted scenes that pop by in the teaser and never made it to the actual episode, plus an actual beach attack happening later, so it's hard to say what Magnum was referring to, but in the episode as shown, makes no sense. (00:12:50)

Magnum, P.I. (1980)
Continuity mistake: Higgins is telling Magnum about the poison. Magnum asks, camera on him " Are you sayin' she wasn't kidding." A babe in a light blue bikini walks in the background, right to left. Cut to Higgins responding, which lasts 8 seconds, and the same woman is exactly where we left her walking behind Tom Selleck. (00:36:10)

Magnum, P.I. (1980)
Continuity mistake: Louise pours coffee from the thermos - still hot overnight. The cup in her right hand has the handle pointed to the left (approx at 11 o'clock). Her sister and Higgins pop up from the door, and now the cup is pointed at 5 o'clock. (00:28:10)
14th May 2020
Magnum, P.I. (1980)
Continuity mistake: Louise praises the "masterful" way Magnum took the yoyos' punches; her hand jumps from one side of Magnum's chest to the other. (00:26:05)
14th May 2020
Magnum, P.I. (1980)
Continuity mistake: At the end of the scene in the freshly painted guest house, Louise undoes a button on Magnum's shirt that has been undone all along. (00:27:20)
14th May 2020
Magnum, P.I. (1980)
Revealing mistake: The moment Magnum hops on the Ferrari ending the brawl on the beach with the two goons in ski masks, parallel to the tire tracks in the sand you can see others from a previous take. (00:23:25)
13th May 2020
Magnum, P.I. (1980)
Continuity mistake: Magnum drives to meet Louise for, he believes, the last time. He's wearing a purple polo shirt, as opposed to the normal views where he dons a dark green one. (00:18:30)
13th May 2020
Magnum, P.I. (1980)
Revealing mistake: In Magnum's close-up as he looks at The Black Orchid, the scar prosthesis has a visible contour. (00:05:30)
13th May 2020
Magnum, P.I. (1980)
Continuity mistake: It's windy when Magnum gets down to do some push-ups. In the close-up of the push-ups though, the spot he is exercising at changed, since the wind is reflected much more in the movement of the shadows of the ground. (00:04:45)
13th May 2020
Magnum, P.I. (1980)
Continuity mistake: At the beginning of the episode, two dealers are shot dead (or so it seems). However, they die at great distance from each other, but the one closer to the plane is conveniently snuggled close to the other guy when it's time for the plane to take off. (00:02:40)

Saint Seiya (1986)
Kyoteki! Ankoku shiten oh arawaru - S1-E9
Character mistake: When Black Dragon visualizes himself dealing a mighty blow to Shiryu, the Bronze Saint is wearing two Dragon Shields instead of one. (00:22:10)

Saint Seiya (1986)
Kyoteki! Ankoku shiten oh arawaru - S1-E9
Other mistake: Hyoga freezes Black Cygnus' leg solid, and he is obviously at great disadvantage and needs to be saved by Black Andromeda, but a mere moment later he just leaps to join the other 3 fellas as if nothing happened. (00:16:00)

Saint Seiya (1986)
Kyoteki! Ankoku shiten oh arawaru - S1-E9
Factual error: Unless the police dog is also a Saint with extraordinary powers, it's kinda impossible that he'd have followed a scent over 6 years old, through a public park even. (00:13:40)
