Die He Said - S1-E8

Continuity mistake: After discovering the body in the trunk, Magnum sets a meeting up with the bad guys. When they get out of the car, in the longshot the car and all the ground around it are in the sun; in the closer view the car casts a large shadow. (00:29:10)

Die He Said - S1-E8

Continuity mistake: Magnum told Bobby Malua about his brother and that he can't leave the island without first saving him. There's a close-up of him saying "Look..."; do look, and you can't Miss a big lock of hair across his bloodied eye. But in the next shot, it's gone. (00:14:50)

Die He Said - S1-E8

Factual error: The lease contract that Magnum inspects puts the City of Haleiwa in the "County of Hawaii" in the State of Hawaii, but it's Honolulu county, not "Hawaii." (00:09:40)

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.

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)

The Cat Who Cried Wolf - S1-E7

Plot hole: Magnum finds the cat with the bloodied paws. He takes the cat home, arranges with Higgins what to do, brings it back where he found it, and tails it for "over an hour", Higgins says. Finally finds where it came from, and in the house there's a corpse. Shenanigans ensue, Magnum comes back with the police to a now empty house and he tells to Katsumoto that it was not empty "a couple hours ago" and is amazed at how quickly and efficiently the bad guys must have cleaned. The problem is; later we see through the security cameras what happened, and how Max the cat got the blood on its paws. Supposedly the villain did an ultra-efficient job cleaning everything up after Magnum's visit...but what about before? Magnum arrived a good 2 hours after the homicide. What on Earth did the killer do during that time? The dead guy was still lying around in a pool of blood, and the bad guy hadn't even picked up his own ski mask! Forget it. He did not even close the front door.

Visible crew/equipment: Magnum gives chase to the person who escaped from the house with the dead body. The guy throws behind him an ironing board; when we get the following shot with the camera following Jay Hernandez, we can also spot the cameraman following Jay Hernandez, reflected in the mirror on the left side of the frame.

The Cat Who Cried Wolf - S1-E7

Revealing mistake: Magnum does a typical movie internet search; he types stuff on the keyboard and pages on Bing he supposedly types the search terms in change without him even finishing to type or typing new words. Moreover, the address bar is stuck on "/search?" without any of the search terms appearing there. (00:04:25)

Death Is Only Temporary - S1-E6

Continuity mistake: Magnum asks his client about Lizzie's debt. As he says "it was such a long time ago", the man in foreground is rubbing his eyes, but lowers his hand before the cut. In the next shot, he's shown as if his problems just started to manifest. (00:16:55)

Death Is Only Temporary - S1-E6

Continuity mistake: TC and Rick are having "breakfast" with the veteran. When he sarcastically answers "Couldn't be better", TC' s has both hands around the bottle, while he just had one on top in the first shot. Rick has both hands around the can, and in the next shot he's got just one, the other being behind it. It goes back and forth as the two different angles alternate in editing. (00:10:55)
