Two Birds of a Feather - S3-E19
Revealing mistake: Sam arrives back home and he's greeted by his happy son and dog that run towards him...only, you can see at the bottom of the frame that the dog swerves to avoid him, to go to his handler, and couldn't care less about him. (00:22:50)

Two Birds of a Feather - S3-E19
Continuity mistake: The birthday boy is skygazing and talking with his dog. When he nags him for not listening, there's a cut to a close-up of Buckshot, and his floppy ear is suddenly atop his paw. (00:22:30)

Two Birds of a Feather - S3-E19
Revealing mistake: Higgins' spotlight gets turned off, not shattered by a bullet. (00:22:10)
27th Apr 2020
Two Birds of a Feather - S3-E19
Continuity mistake: Sam Houston Hunter is ashore talking to Higgins about his Grandpa; his hair is messed up differently depending on the camera angle. (00:11:00)

Two Birds of a Feather - S3-E19
Revealing mistake: The plane is supposed to be completely out of fuel and simply gliding when it passes over Magnum's head, but you can see its propeller is spinning. (00:09:15)

Two Birds of a Feather - S3-E19
Continuity mistake: When the plane crash-lands in the tidal pool, it crashes with one wing and tumbles to the other side of the rocks, flopping on its belly. When Magnum dives in to the rescue, the plane has capsized and its tail is on Magnum's end of the rocks. (00:09:20)

Two Birds of a Feather - S3-E19
Continuity mistake: When Saito says to his assistant "I do not believe in accidents", the woman who was sponging his shoulder has her hands on the border of the tub. (00:14:55)
27th Apr 2020
Two Birds of a Feather - S3-E19
Audio problem: When Mr. Sato on the phone asks "What is going to happen to my old bird", those last two words appear to be dubbed in and not match the lips. (00:14:25)

Two Birds of a Feather - S3-E19
Factual error: In his 'Nam flashback at the beginning, Magnum has (another) fun encounter with a large macaw. Green macaws (or any macaw for that matter) are not something he would have found in a Vietnam war mission, unless he inadvertently crossed the Pacific Ocean and ended up in South America. (00:02:00)
27th Apr 2020
Visible crew/equipment: Higgins leaves for a trip. Once he closes the door, Tracy hunches over to ask Magnum if it still hurts, and in her big glasses you can see the reflection of set lights. (00:29:40)
27th Apr 2020
Character mistake: In the opening narration, Magnum says "Take my good friend Marcus, for example. I woke up one day and realised I was 32 and I'd never had a chance to be 22." In the second part of the very pilot of the series, Magnum says to Alice "One day I woke up age 33 and realised I'd never been 23."
27th Apr 2020
Continuity mistake: When Magnum says "Murder's never private", his left hand moves from the bottom to the side of the diary. (00:42:15)
27th Apr 2020
Plot hole: Magnum is amazingly naive in this episode, blindly believing the story about Tracy Spencer being a cop against every possible evidence of the contrary. This buffoonery aside, Tracy saves him from the two girls identifying herself as a cop, but a couple scenes later they both go meet their boss and try to set up a sting passing off as dealers of stolen goods. That does not make any sense.
27th Apr 2020
Visible crew/equipment: When Magnum screams to Traci to get out of his life, forever, there' s a camera cut and on the left of the screen some equipment that is not supposed to be in frame is seen for a second. (00:39:50)
27th Apr 2020
Visible crew/equipment: Aftermath of the sting gone wrong at Rose's. Tracy Spencer runs after Magnum saying "Please, just listen!" In the bottom right corner of the frame you can spot the boom mike shadow for an instant, then the operator's, following the movement of the two (and the camera's). (00:37:00)
27th Apr 2020
Continuity mistake: Magnum's face after the beating from the 80s girls in leggings and hairspray gets suddenly bloodied on both sides of the mouth at the end of the scene. (00:27:20)
27th Apr 2020
Continuity mistake: Magnum groans asking Tracy Spencer "Why didn't you pull your gun?" She has both hands joined, just one hand up in the next shot. (00:27:15)
27th Apr 2020
Continuity mistake: When the "policewoman" arrives and yells "Freeze! Police!" thumping her chest, Magnum at the bottom of the frame is getting up. In the next shot her hands are off her chest and Magnum is very far away from even the thought of getting up. (00:27:00)
27th Apr 2020
Revealing mistake: The man who gets kicked in the face and chest by the two wicked ladies inside the building is not Tom Selleck. (00:26:45)
27th Apr 2020
Continuity mistake: Magnum goes around the market to show around Marcus' photo. Multiple extras, such as a man with a blue Hawaiian shirt and a kid with a white jumper with red sleeves, can be seen roaming the premises multiple times in different shots. (00:24:00)
