Continuity mistake: Magnum is dosing tabasco into the thing his girlfriend makes him prepare; notice he's wearing his team ring with the proper orientation (two arms of the cross of Lorraine closer to his hand). When he pushes the button of the mixer, the ring is upside down. (00:14:40)

Magnum, P.I. (1980)
Continuity mistake: Magnum is following the icky instructions for a protein drink left by his unseen girlfriend with the golden voice. Somehow from eggs, flat beer and tomato juice, the result is a green mix. He is blending it in close-up on the table (the wood texture is a tell), but he recovers the goop from a different piece of furniture with a sink. (00:14:40)

Magnum, P.I. (1980)
Factual error: Justice in Hawaii works at a breakneck pace; TC is jailed and goes on trial instantly, which is fine, but also his impounded chopper goes for auction within a couple hours as well.
8th May 2020
Magnum, P.I. (1980)
Revealing mistake: On the docks, Magnum saunters towards a payphone. The phone is not exactly a sturdy or well made prop, because it wobbles even before Magnum touches it. (00:26:40)
8th May 2020
Magnum, P.I. (1980)
Revealing mistake: When Magnum wakes up finding the tape recorder on the pillow, his collarbone scar shows the contour of the prosthetic patch. (00:13:20)
8th May 2020
Magnum, P.I. (1980)
Continuity mistake: During his scuffle with TC, Magnum is wearing the same white tennis shoes he was wearing in the ship scene in some shots (closer angles generally), and dirty, chunkier sneakers in others. (00:36:40)
8th May 2020
Magnum, P.I. (1980)
Character mistake: Twirling their moustache at the success of their operation, the villains say that the heroin is worth 10 million dollars. When Rick looks at all the drugs, he says it must be worth "a couple millions."
8th May 2020
Magnum, P.I. (1980)
Revealing mistake: When the bad guys try to escape from the warehouse, multiple tiremarks of their highly unusual maneuver (a sharp turn that leads away from the door, in that precise spot) are already visible on the ground, no doubt from previous takes. (00:44:45)
8th May 2020
Magnum, P.I. (1980)
Continuity mistake: Frustrated by Joey's deception, TC tosses the bag of heroin on the dresser, and it ends up on top of a box. In the next shot, it changes position, being off the box. (00:40:25)
8th May 2020
Magnum, P.I. (1980)
Audio problem: When Magnum is pushed against the metal shelves by TC, a big clunking sound is dubbed in, but you can see that the shelves and their content are not wobbled in the slightest and Tom Selleck jumped himself against them using his hands to impact in perfect safety. (00:36:40)
8th May 2020
Magnum, P.I. (1980)
Revealing mistake: In the longshot of the fight when the phone begins to ring, the stuntman replacing Roger E. Mosley is quite visible. (00:37:05)
8th May 2020
Magnum, P.I. (1980)
Continuity mistake: During their fight, Magnum in a close-up slams TC on a table. A chair is lying on the floor by the table; that chair will be toppled over only in the following shot. (00:37:00)
8th May 2020
Magnum, P.I. (1980)
Continuity mistake: The foul concoction Magnum prepares based on his girlfriend's recipe fills the glass at a different level depending on the angle before Rick's arrival. (00:15:00)
8th May 2020
Magnum, P.I. (1980)
Continuity mistake: Approaching the ship at the beginning of the episode, TC's chopper is the N58243 model, with the flotation skids. When he actually lands on the bridge though, it's N1095A. (00:02:05 - 00:03:00)

Death in Paradise (2011)
Other mistake: Commissioner Selwyn Patterson puts some pressure on Humphrey and the team saying that "a wealthy tourist has just been killed." But Dan Hagen was not a tourist; he lived on Saint Marie with his wife, as said by the fellow oceanographer Jonathan Taylor, and they have a villa. Someone as well connected and nosy as Patterson wouldn't miss the notion of a multimillionaire living on the island. He also says that he needs to reassure the yacht club that there are no pirates in the area, but it was already established by the coast guard that no ships approached the area. (00:12:15)

Death in Paradise (2011)
Episode #4.6 - S4-E6
Continuity mistake: When JP announces that the SIM card was sold in Isla Jonas, Dwayne in the foreground is holding his hands on the buckle of his belt the opposite way compared to the wider angle. (00:36:25)

Magnum, P.I. (1980)
The Curse of the King Kamehameha Club - S1-E11
Continuity mistake: When Magnum pushes the journalist's foot off the accelerator and steps on the brake, he's wearing white worn-out Converse sneakers with light purple socks and she's wearing tan stockings and pumps. Wen they walked up to the car, though, she was wearing open toed shoes with no stockings, and Magnum was wearing brown boat shoes earlier when he arrived at Mr. Dollinger's home. (00:39:00 - 00:46:10)

Magnum, P.I. (1980)
The Curse of the King Kamehameha Club - S1-E11
Audio problem: In the last part of the final conversation between Magnum and Charlie, background noise comes and goes away depending on the camera angle. (00:48:20)
7th May 2020
Magnum, P.I. (1980)
The Curse of the King Kamehameha Club - S1-E11
Revealing mistake: En route to the hut of the kahuna, TC is reading from a book. He reads "That is why curses or warning of death prayer" making exaggerated motions that undoubtedly establish that sentence being at the bottom of the page. Magnum then urges him to go on "That is why what?", and he resumes reading, but he's reading now (and again, makes very obvious he's reading and not just repeating from memory) from the opposite page. (00:17:35)
