Did You See the Sun Rise? - S3-E1
Continuity mistake: At the airbase, Greene is reporting to his superior, who suggests him to let Magnum in on the danger. The actors were positioned differently on the location and/or time elapsed during the scene, because the Admiral's head casts a shadow right on his collar and behind his neck in the close-ups, while his back and collar are fully in the sun in the wider views. (00:51:00)
21st Mar 2020
Did You See the Sun Rise? - S3-E1
Continuity mistake: Magnum walks in on Greene checking out Mac's corpse in Trauma. During the scene Magnum' sling looks different in different angles; in the close-ups bandage going down the left side of his neck and shoulders are visible, but absent in the other shots before and after. (00:43:40)
21st Mar 2020
Did You See the Sun Rise? - S3-E1
Revealing mistake: Mac suggest to drive Magnum and Julie to watch the sun rise at the Pali lookout. When Magnum collapses, his watch is at 10 minutes to 2. In April (Queen's birthday), the sun rises in Hawaii around 6, surely Mac did not plan to drive them around for 4 hours. (00:42:00)
21st Mar 2020
Did You See the Sun Rise? - S3-E1
Continuity mistake: At the Boom Boom Room (at least that's how Higgins christens it) the waitress serves drinks to Magnum, his date and the third candle. The woman plucks away all the straws and decorations while Thomas takes one of those fake tiny sips from his bottle. At the cut, the stick the pineapple is on switched side of the glass, and her hand clawed around the glass has the fingers spread in different fashion. (00:35:40)
21st Mar 2020
Did You See the Sun Rise? - S3-E1
Audio problem: TC is calling Higgins to figure out where he could find Magnum. Higgins is busy with his construction work, but since the phone keeps ringing he has to answer. The second ring has been edited in a split second of delay to John Hillerman's reaction, though, so Higgins 'jumps' too early. (00:32:30)
21st Mar 2020
Did You See the Sun Rise? - S3-E1
Continuity mistake: In the scene with Ivan calling TC a ni**er, he grabs the cage and holds it in a spot that is above the joint, or below it, depending on the angle, back and forth a few times. (00:26:20)
21st Mar 2020
Did You See the Sun Rise? - S3-E1
Continuity mistake: In the car with TC, Nuzo begins to wrap the tie around his own hand. However, in close-up he is wrapping it clockwise, while in the other shot the spin is counterclockwise. (00:19:30)
21st Mar 2020
Did You See the Sun Rise? - S3-E1
Continuity mistake: TC narrowly avoids a car accident. Nuzo next to him undoes the knot of his tie, but he does it again in a following shot. (00:19:20)
21st Mar 2020
Did You See the Sun Rise? - S3-E1
Revealing mistake: MacReynolds is summoned by his superior officer on the observation site. The officer holds his binoculars perfectly still and mostly horizontal, but in the POV shots the visual keeps shifting higher and higher following the missile's trajectory. (00:12:00)
21st Mar 2020
Did You See the Sun Rise? - S3-E1
Other mistake: During the opening credits, the writing "and Lance LeGault as Buck Green" appears. As shown by the name tag later in the episode, his character's last name is Greene with 3 Es. (00:06:50)
21st Mar 2020
Did You See the Sun Rise? - S3-E1
Audio problem: The noise of TC's helicopter powering down is Out of Sync with the speed of heli blades you can see in the reflection of the glass, and the effect on nearby vegetation. (00:09:40)
21st Mar 2020
Did You See the Sun Rise? - S3-E1
Revealing mistake: TC's arrival is announced by the loud sound of his helicopter, which makes Higgins' desk comically shake. Fun sight gag, but looks totally phony, since everything in the room, including the plants, is completely still. (00:09:00)
21st Mar 2020
Did You See the Sun Rise? - S3-E1
Continuity mistake: When Magnum is in the middle of his deductive process, Higgins indulges him answering that hardly anyone manufactures the gunpowder he needs anymore because of the low flashpoint. There's a cut in the middle of the sentence; the matches lined up in front of the chopping board are positioned differently on the right end, the one he places the newest victim at. (00:08:20)
21st Mar 2020
Did You See the Sun Rise? - S3-E1
Continuity mistake: Magnum walks up to Higgins as he is beheading the matches. In the first shot he put just his hand on the desk, in close-up he is leaning all the way with his elbow. (00:07:20)
21st Mar 2020
Continuity mistake: In the ending, between cuts you can spot multiple continuity errors involving the friends' chopsticks; for instance when TC asks how the date with Higgy was, Thomas' hand was hovering above the lid, but it's inside the container right at the cut. (00:40:30)
21st Mar 2020
Continuity mistake: In the terrorists' SUV, Higgins tells Magnum he's "extremely perilous to one's health", facing him, and then looks straight forward, turning her head. Next shot and she's still facing him. (00:36:15)
21st Mar 2020
Continuity mistake: Magnum and Higgins are tailing the terrorist in the big red tallywacker. In the little intermission with the fish smell gag, Perdita Weeks is not wearing her seatbelt, while she does previously and after. The belt goes on and off also when they are found out. (00:34:00)
21st Mar 2020
Continuity mistake: When the staff sings Happy Birthday to Magnum, Higgins joins in. Both Magnum and Juliett touch their own face with lack of continuity from one shot to the next (her hand is under her chin or not, his hand is suddenly at the side of their head, etc). Likewise when the maitre tells Magnum that they will bring the cake into the kitchen, a man behind Magnum claps right over his shoulder, only for his hands to be gone in the next shot. (00:32:35)
21st Mar 2020
Continuity mistake: At the restaurant, Higgins tells Magnum that his client served in the Vietnam war. When she says that, Magnum has just put down his fork, but in the next shot, when he looks at her surprised, the fork is back in his hand all of a sudden. (00:31:50)
21st Mar 2020
Continuity mistake: During the conversation with Magnum about going to dinner to investigate, in particular after her refusal, the bottle of glue stays firmly in Higgins' hand during the close-ups, but when it cuts to wider shots it pops at distance on the table. (00:27:00)
