Backlash of the Hunter - S1-E1
Continuity mistake: Rockford's client sits down and signs the bank check without any fuss. During the whole conversation that happens and follows, Sara Butler is casting a shadow on the grill behind her in the wide angles, on the wall by it in the close-ups. (00:14:00)

DI Jack Mooney: Strictly speaking, paradise is a state of mind. You know that, right? I mean, the dung beetle - very different idea of paradise, doesn't he? (00:48:25)

Officer Dwayne Myers: You sure you know what you're looking at, Chief?

Catherine Bordey: If you love someone, you should tell them. Throw yourself at their feet and declare it to the world. Beg, if that's what it takes.
DI Humphrey Goodman: That's very French of you, Catherine.
Catherine Bordey: And so English of you not to.
DI Humphrey Goodman: Perhaps. I've made my bed, and I'll lie in it.
Catherine Bordey: Alone. (00:02:55)

DI Jack Mooney: My grandfather told me a story once, about these two wolves fighting inside all of us. And one of them is anger, envy, self-pity, regret. The other one is love, truth, faith, hope, that sort of thing.
And I asked him "which one of the wolves would win?" And do you know what he said?
"The one you feed." (00:18:15)

Backlash of the Hunter - S1-E1
Continuity mistake: In the phone call at the beginning of the episode, once Jerry answers it cuts to Mildred, and then back to Jimmy, but in a mirrored shot. He's to the other side of the door and holds the receiver in the other hand. (00:03:11)
28th Apr 2020
Continuity mistake: Higgins arrives at the dingy motel and walks past some broad in green. He approaches the counter, and there are bathroom doors on the left wall. The men's room has a "Out of order (Do NOT use) " sign. Said sign is hanging on the right side of the door, but just from camera angle; during his chat with the filthy porter the sign is on the left side of the door. (00:21:15)
28th Apr 2020
Character mistake: Higgins at the bar orders "Glencadam on the rocks", but it's been established since the pilot episode that he loathes ice in his drink of choice. (00:23:55)
28th Apr 2020
Revealing mistake: In the classic ending of the episode, there's an obvious use of a dummy who falls in unnatural, stiff motion. (00:45:35)

Continuity mistake: After the introductory scene in Ulster, Father Paddy McGuinness flies to Hawaii. The United airlines plane shown approaching the islands though is two different planes; the colors are different.

28th Apr 2020
Continuity mistake: During the farewell to Brigadier Faulkes and Father McGuinness, the people in the background never transition from one shot to the reverse, effectively disappearing. (00:42:00)
28th Apr 2020
Revealing mistake: As everyone marches towards the happy ending of the episode, the Higgins lookalike that walks by Magnum at the airport looks in fact nothing like Higgins. (00:41:50)
28th Apr 2020
Continuity mistake: The rosary in Father Paddy's hand changes position - look at the metal tag - before and after Higgins' exits his room. (00:32:00)
28th Apr 2020
Continuity mistake: Right after the scene at the rooftop bar is a wrap, there's a shot of TC's helicopter that features a different serial number from the normal one, and padded skids. Next shot and the skids slimmed down. They go back to the padding for other shots after Magnum photographs the cetacea. (00:27:00)
28th Apr 2020
Continuity mistake: When Higgins raises his glass for a doomed to fail toast to the Queen, the level of so called scotch in his plastic cup changes between shots. (00:25:35)
28th Apr 2020
Continuity mistake: The bartender at the Beach Bar serves Higgins the authentic Hawaiian scotch. It looks bad enough in close-up, but when Higgins holds it in hand the colour is even paler and the straw has even messier and more disgusting hair on top of the hula dancer doll. (00:24:35)
28th Apr 2020
Continuity mistake: Father Paddy spots Higgins staring at him at the 'Beach Bar' and exclaims the title of the episode. The glass of watered down drink next to him is full. Next shot and it's almost empty, change and it's full again, etc. (00:23:30)
