Continuity mistake: Magnum is confronting Willie after she arrives over one hour late; during the scene, Tom Selleck' is with his hands on his hips, or with his arms relaxed down the sides, no continuity between shots, even pointing at her when he did not move his arm before. (00:30:40)

Basket Case - S3-E14
Continuity mistake: Magnum is frustrated because Willie is late and he knows he's been lying to him. Higgins tries to calm him down; while they are talking, the string of Magnum's whistle runs on the inside or the outside of the left collar of his polo. (00:29:00)

Basket Case - S3-E14
Continuity mistake: Magnum and Higgins are bickering over the choice of colour in the jerseys. In the first shot, the jersey is partially over the side of the box and Magnum's basketball is on the table. Second one, and the shirt is fully inside the box and Magnum holds the ball. Back to the first angle, and the previous status quo, next change and the shirt is back neatly folded in, etc. (00:09:10)

The Arrow That Is Not Aimed - S3-E13
Character mistake: At the end of the episode, Magnum says "You know what they say about samurai swords - you unsheathe 'em, you gotta draw blood!", but throughout the episode, Tozan drew his sword on Magnum and the villain and no blood has been drawn - in case of Magnum, there was no intention of it either.

Revealing mistake: Gallagher, the Tourist Shop Owner has been fished by Magnum but, as one of the doc workers says, he's been "Down there long time, bro, pretty bad shape" and he is "in intensive care, unconscious" later in the episode. However, just before the camera cuts away he opens his eyes. (00:35:10)
25th Apr 2020
The Arrow That Is Not Aimed - S3-E13
Continuity mistake: Magnum dives fully clothed to save Gallagher, the Tourist Shop Owner. Obviously he's soaking wet after that. Later at home, Magnum is sitting at the desk in the study wearing the same polo and jeans, bone dry. (00:35:00 - 00:36:10)

25th Apr 2020
The Arrow That Is Not Aimed - S3-E13
Visible crew/equipment: Fukuda-san is not impressed by Magnum making excuses for Tozan. When Tozan says "There is nothing to say. Fukuda-san is right", set lights are reflected in Tom Selleck's sunglasses. (00:27:00)
25th Apr 2020
The Arrow That Is Not Aimed - S3-E13

The Arrow That Is Not Aimed - S3-E13
