Die He Said - S1-E8

Continuity mistake: Outside the hospital, in the first shot (the nurse directs Magnum to Mr. Malua) the sun is noticeably higher on the pillar than in the rest of the scene. (00:02:00)

Die He Said - S1-E8

Continuity mistake: Magnum is getting the case from his new client. The man puts down his cup of shave ice which is full and puffy, raised about a inch above the brim of the cup. Less than 30 seconds later, he has not eaten a single scoop but the ice is well below the brim. (00:02:50)

Die He Said - S1-E8

Continuity mistake: When Magnum says "Let's get after it" only to be interrupted by Kumu shouting at him about the phone call, Higgins reaches for the goggles on top of her head; Thomas in another shot says "I'm sorry" and her hands are off the goggles, but in the following close-up on Perdita Weeks she has exactly a pose with hands on them. (00:01:35)

Die He Said - S1-E8

Continuity mistake: In the water at the beginning of the episode, Higgins mentions "the repeated use" of the laptop, and as she says that she pulls the snorkel behind her shoulder. When she is shown next, the snorkel is again in the front, and it appears on the back only a couple cuts later. (00:01:25)

Flashback - S3-E6

Revealing mistake: In present day, Magnum is flying with TC to the old house. Selleck and Roger Mosley are talking inside the vehicle about being there before, and TC's shirt is dark red. However in the wide shot of the landing, whoever is piloting the chopper is wearing a yellow shirt. (00:43:40)

Flashback - S3-E6

Factual error: Magnum gets to the airfield looking for TC the first time, at the very beginning of his drive you can see in the building in the background a modern window AC unit - that kind of device was available in 1936, but its cost certainly makes it unlikely, as it'd cost the equivalent of $8,000 today, not really something for the dingy shack it's mounted on. (00:16:55)

Flashback - S3-E6

Audio problem: Magnum slips into the car in 1936 with his client out of the club. If you pay attention to the audio, there is sometimes a droning noise as if someone were using a leaf blower nearby (it's actually because in editing they cut out all sounds below a certain level - but some of it spiked enough to stay into the audible range). (00:11:20)

Flashback - S3-E6

Continuity mistake: At the end of the episode, Rick's towel is draped over his neck in a different way before and after the cut to Thomas with the line "Don't start with that dreaming stuff." (00:46:50)

Flashback - S3-E6

Continuity mistake: In close-up, Magnum is holding the copy of the Herald with his fingers right below the main headline. Much lower in the following and previous shot. (00:39:50)

Flashback - S3-E6

Factual error: Magnum is checking out newspapers from year 1936...but they are copies of The Hawaii Herald, and that is impossible, since it started publications (with that name) only in 1942 as an Americanised version of the original Hawaii Hochi. (00:39:55)

Flashback - S3-E6

Factual error: At the movies, Magnum is watching a movie with Bette Davis, the first one she played in, "The Bad Sister" and comments "Keep it up, old girl, you just might have a future as an actress." Funny, but the dream is set in 1936, not 1931 when that movie came out. Implausibility of finding it in theaters aside, by 1936 young Bette Davis had already won her first Oscar. (00:30:30)

Flashback - S3-E6

Continuity mistake: Marisa during the movie gives Thomas an appointment. When she says "That's where I hid the papers." the woman in the background is leaning against her left hand. The chat continues in the next shot but the woman's position is different and gone is the hand. (00:30:20)

Flashback - S3-E6

Factual error: When Magnum offers popcorn to Irene Yah-Ling Sun, he is holding it in a box. In 1936, bags were the norm, and the design of the box is from at least a couple decades later. (00:29:00)

Flashback - S3-E6

Factual error: The very first plane in the scene when Magnum goes where he'll meet TC is a Piper J-3 Cub. They enter production in 1938, but this episode is set in 1936. (00:16:55)

Flashback - S3-E6

Continuity mistake: After bringing him the newspapers, Higgins sits down to "engage in common gossip" with Magnum. His left arm is across the back of the comfy sofa at first, but in the second shot it hangs much lower. (00:16:00)

Black on White - S3-E5

Continuity mistake: At the end of the episode, Thomas is sitting by Higgins that is playing Pac Man. TC arrives and Magnum stands up. There are two towels on the wall, and they are one on top of the other not overlapping by about 3 inches. By the time TC is in the water with Magnum, they are stacked perfectly. (00:46:30)

Black on White - S3-E5

Continuity mistake: Rick gets KTFO by the mace being thrown at him. He collapses unconscious on the carpet that makes a noticeable hump, and his arm is past the pillar. Magnum comes to his rescue, and Rick is still out but the carpet straightened itself and Rick's arm is by his body. (00:32:30)

Black on White - S3-E5

Continuity mistake: Higgins is still awake and Magnum sits on the couch with a glass of milk and a cookie. Between shots, the glass fills up - initially it was at the level of his middle finger, afterwards it moved up above his index. (00:29:20)

Black on White - S3-E5

Visible crew/equipment: After the chat on the intercom with Rick, Higgins storms back to the phone. Meanwhile Magnum approaches the window. On the wall on the left of the frame, the shadow of the boom mike appears. (00:18:30)

Black on White - S3-E5

Audio problem: Higgins watches Magnum spit what he chewed on and gives him a "Magnum..." full of contempt. Magnum responds ever cheerful "Sorry, want a bite?" but the audio of the sentence is much lower than in the rest of the scene. (00:13:10)
