Episode #1.4 - S1-E4

Continuity mistake: Richard fills a glass with water and walks to his puzzle. Camille adds something, and within a cut his arm goes from an ascending to a descending motion without any time for him to drink in between. (00:17:20)

Episode #1.4 - S1-E4

Continuity mistake: The police crew is having beers to celebrate the alleged resolution of the case, but Richard is not convinced. During the scene, the beer bottles change position between shots - for instance when Fidel says "Maybe she was confused" he puts his hands on the bottle of Etensel, gone in the next shot with Camille piling on his objection - and in that shot even his hat on the table is facing the other way. In fact, throughout the scene his hat keeps rotating to different directions. (00:18:20)

Continuity mistake: Before he leaves with the suspect the house she is a guest in, Richard asks if they own a gun. Astrid answers "Of course we don't", both hands on her belly. Wider angle, and she has both arms relaxed down her sides. (00:12:15)

Episode #1.4 - S1-E4

Continuity mistake: Megan grabs DI Richard Poole's hand sobbing "I'm scared." We're talking about her left hand, because in the right hand she's holding the handkerchief he gave her. When DS Camille Bordey butts in, she is clinging to his hand with her right, and holds the hankie in her left. It keeps happening even during the conversation. (00:03:55)

Episode #1.4 - S1-E4

Continuity mistake: Richard asks the wife if it was unusual for the husband to get violent. She starts crying. Embarrassed, he hands her a handkerchief.

Episode #1.4 - S1-E4

Continuity mistake: Poole and Camille take the confessed murderer to the beach. She is fainting, and Richard tells her "It's OK, it's OK." Camille is supporting her with one hand behind her back, which becomes one hand on her forearm in the reverse shot. (00:01:30)

Episode #1.4 - S1-E4

Continuity mistake: At the beginning of the episode, Richard stirs his cup of tea with a spoon; in the close-up of the puzzle board the cup is still on the table, but in the frontal views he is reaching for it and putting the spoon in before the cut, and he has it in hand in the one after.

Revealing mistake: During the gun prank, you can see in the revolver's cylinder the bullets - except when it squirts, the bullets are gone. (00:47:00)

Revealing mistake: When the plane is blowing dust all over the lawyer and the money-conscious nephew, you can see the face of the extra piloting the plane instead of Donnelly Rhodes. (00:03:50)

Of Sound Mind - S3-E12

Visible crew/equipment: When in the opening credits the names of the special guest stars Donnelly Rhodes and Elaine Joyce appear, on the side of the Pitts Special you can see the reflection of the set lights. (00:03:50)

Of Sound Mind - S3-E12

Continuity mistake: Marina does a Bette Davis on Magnum and then turns around to leave. She stands in the middle of the entrance, with still her glass in hand. Quick cut to Magnum, and the glass conveniently disappeared. (00:26:55)

Of Sound Mind - S3-E12

Character mistake: The Grim Reaper is at the party to grab the paper copy of the will - however, after Magnum is incapacitated turtle-style, the guy never bothers to actually retrieve it from the mantle he put it on, nor Magnum checks out what the piece of paper is. (00:35:05)

Of Sound Mind - S3-E12

Continuity mistake: Magnum hears a noise at the bottom floor and starts walking downstairs. In the shot right before the close-up of his foot breaking the step, at the top of the stairs you can see some candles he was not carrying and are not consistent with the illumination of the scene - in fact you can see Magnum with candles only in a brief shot in the 'teaser' before the opening credits, in a scene that was left out of the episode. (00:28:40)

Of Sound Mind - S3-E12

Character mistake: Carlton's favourite gun is a Colt "Bisley Model", rare and produced starting 1894. When he introduced it to Magnum in the cabinet he called it a "Colt 45, vintage 1860" (or sixty-something, as Magnum started his line when he might have not finished). (00:16:50)
