The Curse of the King Kamehameha Club - S1-E11
Continuity mistake: At the beginning of the episode, Higgins mentions the complaint box; he does it with the two notebooks in front of him being at distance in the wide shot, close together in the next. (00:02:40)
7th May 2020
Stupidity: The whole knife fight scene is pure silliness; the two got married - when and how, would be nice to know, since it was the middle of the night - and already planned to escape. They are on the car, and just the cranky maitresse talking to them from the stairs; they could and should simply drive off, and nobody could have done anything to stop them. Instead he just stays there to reply to her and gets back in the alley to have a pointless knife fight with the pimp.
7th May 2020
Other mistake: In a cute scene, the lads are helping Higgins pamper Magnum for his nefarious needs. So one of them drops a dry towel for Magnum on the stone platform he uses to come out of the tidal pool. It's a nice scene, but the stone block is isolated in water thigh-deep for 6'3" tall Tom Selleck, and one the doberman has trouble getting off from - you can see him look at the trainer off camera and then do a very awkward dive at the end. So there's no way that dog could have brought Magnum a towel, at least a DRY towel. (00:17:30)
7th May 2020
Audio problem: When Zeus (or Apollo) drops the towel, Magnum looks at him and says "Hi guy!" in dub, but Tom Selleck's mouth is simply open as he is breathing in some air. (00:17:25)
7th May 2020
Continuity mistake: At the end of the episode, Magnum manages to show up for the bridge game. He opens the gate and closes it behind himself; he makes the appropriate motion and there's even a wooden clunking noise. Still, in the shot that follows, the gate is wide open. (00:47:35)
7th May 2020
Continuity mistake: Magnum does not realise he's been tailed, and goes to pick up Kiki as promised. He picks her up at a bus stop...but the bus stop sign is gone at the first cut. (00:33:40)
7th May 2020
Revealing mistake: The pursuing Marines call for backup, and a second jeep answers the call - through mirrored footage, though; the driver is on the right side. (00:43:30)
7th May 2020
Continuity mistake: Magnum walks back from his swim and approaches Apollo (or Zeus) holding a pair of flipflops in his mouth. There's another large and smooth shadow to the left of the dog in the first shot, not making an appearance in Magnum's POV. (00:17:45)
7th May 2020
Other mistake: At the USS Arizona Memorial, Judge Caine has flashbacks from the attack on Pearl Harbour, but he can't keep them in the correct aspect ratio. It's footage from a war movie (Tora! Tora! Tora!) but in the wrong proportions, so he's daydreaming of rather chunky Japanese planes. (00:39:10)
7th May 2020
Continuity mistake: Rick spots Higgins at the club and tells Magnum to hurry up. He is wearing his ring and a bracelet on his right hand. When Higgins leave, it's the same, and you can even see he's wearing a watch with a leather bracelet on his left wrist. But then Magnum leaves too, and in the very last shot of the scene all the aforementioned accessories switch side. (00:29:10)
7th May 2020
Continuity mistake: Shot from the waist up, Maku is wearing a bracelet on his left wrist and quite a lot of his soaking wet hair trapped under the towel he has across the shoulders. He then makes his way to his camping chair, and he has no bracelet and his hair drier and off the towel. (00:13:35)
7th May 2020
Continuity mistake: After Kiki says that Maku bodysurfs "whenever he feels old", you can spot in the footage of the man in the ocean that he's wearing fins at his feet. Maku emerges from the ocean cool as a cucumber but with no fins. (00:12:50)
7th May 2020
Visible crew/equipment: Magnum is on the beach with Maku's grandaughter as they observe him swim. They are in abundant company though, as In his sunglasses there's the reflection of several people - the camera crew. (00:12:20)
7th May 2020
Audio problem: The young judge runs away from the guy he stabbed. He promptly then tells Diane "C'mon, get in the car, c'mon." Not only is the audio of different quality and dubbed later in studio, but Miguel Ferrer's lips don't move at all for the last part. (00:28:25)
7th May 2020
Visible crew/equipment: Driving through an alley in present day jogs the memory of Judge Caine. On the right of the frame though (and left side of the Ferrari) you can see a contraption where the camera car for the fade-out shot is mounted. (00:24:55)
7th May 2020
Continuity mistake: When the judge asks Magnum "Take me back to my hotel", in the background there's a woman in a blue pantsuit and there are people by a large building entrance she's approaching. Switching to another shot, and all of that is just gone. (00:24:40)
7th May 2020
Continuity mistake: Magnum responds "Trust me" when Rick reminds him he's not driving the Ferrari. What follows is a close-up of Dutch, driving a right-hand car - shot has been flipped in post. (00:46:00)
7th May 2020
Character mistake: Mrs. Pauley says that Magnum told her that Bobby is alive "a couple hours ago", but it was the day before. (00:42:25)
7th May 2020
Audio problem: Rick's incredulous "Help?" when Higgins offers his aid to Magnum, is dubbed in poorly and at a volume and ambience in contrast with the rest of the scene. (00:29:45)
7th May 2020
Audio problem: In the shot when Bobby and Diane drive off, the exhaust fumes show the car is turned on before the opportune sound is inserted. (00:28:25)
