China Doll - S1-E3

Continuity mistake: When Choi walks down the street narrowly missing Magnum, the same extras are recycled between shots, some of them like the woman with the blue shirt make some real slalom going constantly left and right on-off the sidewalk with no logic. (00:13:00)

China Doll - S1-E3

Plot hole: Choi spends less than a minute inside the antique store. Magnum and Mai Ling left another minute earlier, tops - you could see Choi making his way to the store in the same street shot when M&M were leaving. And yet, TC's chopper is already passing over Choi's heads when he asks where the girl and her precious belonging are. Of course it makes no sense especially considering that TC had landed on a beach spot, tied down the rotor, argued with Magnum...it'd take minutes to take off, and Magnum and Mai Ling were in no rush at all, not making a run for it. (00:13:00 - 00:14:45)

China Doll - S1-E3

Continuity mistake: When Choi asks Ho about Mai Ling after exterminating all the tabletop curio in his path, miraculously the china by Ho comes back whole between shots. (00:14:25)

China Doll - S1-E3

Continuity mistake: The Bruce Lee wannabe with the rub-on transfer on his hand breaks a vase punching a vase off a table when he gets inside the store. Ho (unlike the extremely squinty killer) barely blinks at that. He then breaks another vase and Ho this time freaks out, which is understandable, since somehow Choi produced a vase to knock from the same table he already cleared out of the first time. (00:14:00)

Other mistake: The title of Chapter 10.3 of the side stories is "Protection! Guard's daily." The last part is left out.

Character mistake: In the KoF98 saga, before meeting the Orochi Female team, the protagonist says to Mature "If it's between the Orochis, then you should surrender against Male Orochi Team, then." The repetition of "then" is an obvious mistake, but the meaning of the sentence itself is also inscrutable.

China Doll - S1-E3

Continuity mistake: Magnum and Mai Ling come out of the "Treasures of the Dove", crossing paths with recognizable passersby such a woman with a long dress and a bag, and a guy that walks in with a big smile. Cut to the mysterious wing chun guy, and then there's a repeat of the previous sequence with a closer focus, same footage reused. (00:12:50)

China Doll - S1-E3

Continuity mistake: Mai Ling walks back into the front of the store with luggage. In the wide shots of the store (the beginning and an intermediate) she has hair cascading in front of both shoulders, instead of just the left one. (00:11:20)

China Doll - S1-E3

Continuity mistake: Magnum gets in the store and introduces "Uncle" Ho. When the two have the awkward lack of conversation at the counter, Ho's hand positions don't match between shots and their reverse, nor the movement he makes to change (for instance when Magnum suggests to "blink or somethin'", Ho is bringing his right hand across to the left corner, the next shot contradicts that). (00:10:10)

China Doll - S1-E3

Continuity mistake: Mai Ling opens the door of the store with a big smile, and a roll in her right hand, kept vertical. Wider shot, and she has the roll in the other hand, and horizontal, until she switches, this time on camera. (00:10:40)

China Doll - S1-E3

Continuity mistake: During the opening credits, two sailors are walking down the street. They pass the "Esquire book store" sign, and reach the "topless bottomless" one. Cut, and they have yet to go past the book store. Similarly, in POV the hooker offers her services, and behind her there's a burly guy with poofy hair and a yellow and white shirt. New shot, and the guy is several meters in front of her. (00:01:45)

Trivia: Right at the same time as his writing credit appears, Donald P. Bellisario appears onscreen walking down a rather seedy street. (00:01:50)

Don't Eat the Snow in Hawaii: Part 2 - S1-E2

Continuity mistake: When Magnum is in the airport lobby, extras are recycled continuously; look at the old man with a black and white pattern shirt, sometimes carrying a bag and sometimes with a woman in blue; he walks in the opposite direction than Magnum's in the first shot, reappears with a long delay and coming from the wrong side, then he is behind Magnum as he pushes aside the two Swedish stewardesses, then he's ahead of him, etc.

Don't Eat the Snow in Hawaii: Part 2 - S1-E2

Continuity mistake: When the bad guy dies, his head against the bathroom counter casts a completely different shadow between the two main angles the scene is shot under.

Don't Eat the Snow in Hawaii: Part 2 - S1-E2

Continuity mistake: The bad guy dies with his shirt flipped up, baring his beer belly. TC approaches him, and now he is conveniently more covered.

Don't Eat the Snow in Hawaii: Part 2 - S1-E2

Audio problem: Rick sprays the hitman with bullets, and hits the car behind him. The car is not Robin's Ferrari, but regardless of that, the car alarm of the Ferrari stops the moment that black car is hit. (01:25:25)

Don't Eat the Snow in Hawaii - S1-E1

Factual error: Magnum phones Rick at his Casablanca-like establishment and tells him; "Two guys tried to run me off the Pali Highway. They deep-sixed about a mile past Lanai Lookout." Lanai Lookout is not on the Pali Hwy, it's 15 miles driving south off the east end of the highway, and Magnum was in the Nu'uanu part. (00:40:35)

Don't Eat the Snow in Hawaii - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: After his bitter confrontation with Captain Cooly, Magnum waits for the ensign to head home. Light and timing imply it's sunset, but the scenes at the pier and the car chase happen in broad daylight.

Don't Eat the Snow in Hawaii - S1-E1

Plot hole: The clock at customs signals it is 9:05 AM when Lt. Dan Cook arrives at Hickam. Magnum narrowly misses him. Then he goes back home...and it is night. There is no reason why Magnum would have spent the whole day out of the house, especially never checking on his fraternal buddy he was supposed to chaperone to begin with.

Don't Eat the Snow in Hawaii - S1-E1

Revealing mistake: The bad guys open fire on Magnum during the car chase, and Magnum shifts gears. Is it Magnum though? The hand in close-up not only does not appear to be Selleck's (it appears to have virtually no hair as opposed to Selleck's that can be seen at the beginning setting the cassette player), but is also wearing the team ring upside down compared to how Magnum and everyone does. (00:34:40)
