Almost Home - S3-E10
Continuity mistake: Agatha is cutting a piece of wood; she is almost done in close-up, the top part of the board is vibrating and about to come off. In the wider angle that follows, Agatha has yet to do a lot of work on it, the cut path is inconsistent with the one previously seen, almost mirrors it. (00:04:15)
3rd Apr 2020
Visible crew/equipment: Towards the end of the chat with Higgins while Rick and TC are learning "the fine art of eating the canvas", watch out when Higgins asks "So now you're questioning..." At the top of the screen, the boom mike' unmistakable shadow pops up and takes off to follow Magnum. (00:28:40)
3rd Apr 2020
Continuity mistake: Magnum goes to the archives, back home and then to Earl' son wearing khaki shirt and shorts and his Detroit Tigers cap. When he rushes his Ferrari back home, he's wearing jeans, a purple sweater and his Da Nang cap. (00:28:40)
3rd Apr 2020
Other mistake: During the airport reunion with father and son, there are several boxes of "Cole" brand pineapples...which are just Dole brand pineapples with masking tape put on to alter the letter D to a C. The tape came off one box revealing the original unaltered letter - you can also see it on the side of a box carried by an extra, Cole on the front, but Dole on the side. (00:43:05)
3rd Apr 2020
Revealing mistake: In one of the many cartoonish scenes involving Rick, he gets utterly stunned by the weak silly airplane-spin like movie Borgnine performs on him and after a chirping birds sound effect is played, he - or rather, his stuntman - does a Ric Flair faceflop. The stuntman is wearing tennis shoes with clean rubber soles. After his scene with Higgins, Magnum arrives with TC and Rick in a headlock - Rick falls in that shot, and he is wearing patent dress shoes with black soles. (00:27:20 - 00:29:40)
3rd Apr 2020
Revealing mistake: When Magnum stops the car right by Higgins who is tending to the plants, there's a close-up of the car tyres raising a lot of dust - or not, actually; it's as if the tyres were vacuuming the dust in! The footage is played backwards. (00:28:05)
3rd Apr 2020
Visible crew/equipment: Towards the end of the episode, Magnum gets back to his Ferrari and shuts the door. In the door, you can see the reflection of the crew and lights. (00:45:20)
3rd Apr 2020
Continuity mistake: When Higgins brings Earl at the airport, the same extras can be seen walking back and forth over and over - some instantaneously recognizable like the dark haired woman with the long azure patterned dress, or the woman with short hair, white top and khaki shorts, wearing a purple lei. (00:42:30)
3rd Apr 2020
Revealing mistake: When Earl punches Rick in the jaw, he's wearing his beanie hat. He (or rather, Mr. Borgnine's stunt double) uses his foot to flip him over, and he is not wearing a hat. When he releases Magnum from the 'Detroit death grip', we're back to a beanie-wearing Ernst Borgnine. (00:32:00)
3rd Apr 2020
Revealing mistake: When Earl is carrying TC across his shoulders, Roger E. Mosley is replaced by his stunt double - you can even see his face, and he's also wearing a different belt - Mosley's is of a reddish brown, the stunt person's is dark chocolate. (00:26:20)
3rd Apr 2020
Continuity mistake: Magnum walks back to the car after spending 4 hours at the archives. A woman with a brown dress with a red belt crosses his path and walks away. Magnum then stands in front of the parkometer (and the parking tickets), but the woman is just then passing him by. (00:23:00)
3rd Apr 2020
Audio problem: Earl captivates Higgins with the story of his wrestling antics with an old army buddy of his who'd beat him on the ring with his peg leg. Higgins then exclaims something, but John Hillerman's lips move with no sound, only Tom Selleck's voice is heard. (00:17:55)
3rd Apr 2020
Continuity mistake: Once Higgins sends away Zeus and Apollo, Magnum looks down briefly at his own feet, which are one in front of the other. A close-up on Higgins happens then, and then another on Magnum, who only then is looking down at his feet and realizing he's standing on the prized soil, and in the following close-up steps away from it, having both feet together at the same level. (00:16:00)
3rd Apr 2020
Continuity mistake: During Earl's story about the dead sumo wrestler, Ernst Borgnine and Tom Selleck's hands have inconsistent positions between cuts. Magnum's hands hold the chopsticks at or well below the table level, and White Death's hand is closed first, then open. (00:09:20)
3rd Apr 2020
Revealing mistake: Mr. White Death intervenes to even the odds as Magnum and TC are getting beaten up. He grabs one guy right away and sends him flying against a wall - but the extra does not fancy headbutting a wall, and even if his character goes KO for the rest of the fight, it's obvious that he connects with the wall with both palms and the head stays inches away from it. (00:06:45)
3rd Apr 2020
Continuity mistake: Magnum chirps "Hey, we can talk about this!" as a guy grabs him from behind and Rick is on the ground holding a hand on his cheek. But in the close-up, Larry Manetti's hand is noticeably lower on the jaw. (00:06:20)
3rd Apr 2020
Revealing mistake: In the fight at the wrestling match joint, both Magnum and TC's stunt doubles are with their faces in plain view when the beatdown begins and Magnum with his arms blocked kicks the bad guys away. (00:06:25)
3rd Apr 2020
Continuity mistake: The first time we see Mr. White Death in the ring, he gets pushed into the corner by his opponent but he shoulder-tackles him to the ground. So when Rick talks to Harry, makes sense that both wrestlers are rolling on the canvas. Less sense though that after they cut to footage of the two wrestlers trading blow standing, Rick and Harry are still talking with the two big guys downed and tumbling around. (00:04:40)
3rd Apr 2020
Factual error: The episode opens with a caption "Miami, 1955." However, as Salvatore Marchese sits in the barber's chair, he picks up as his reading of choice a copy of the National Geographic...the April 1982 edition. (00:02:20)
3rd Apr 2020
Other mistake: The supposed teen prodigy at the beginning of the episode hits the balls shot by the machine sky-high and off her right. Her coach and mum though are thoroughly impressed. (00:01:30)
