Wave Goodbye - S2-E7
Continuity mistake: When the girl in red gives back the towel to the kid with a "Thank you", the woman sitting in the sand in the background goes from both arms behind her, to her hand in her hair. (00:02:50)

Magnum, P.I. (1980)
Continuity mistake: During the episode, Magnum is missing the scar on his chest and the one on the top of his shoulder. At least the latter, carried consistently from the pilot episode, is well visible in the following.

Magnum, P.I. (1980)
Continuity mistake: When Jennifer tells off Magnum asking "You don't give up, do you?" Tom Selleck's wet hair is all frizzled up in different curls on the forehead between the wide angle and the close-ups. (00:13:25)
18th May 2020
Magnum, P.I. (1980)
Continuity mistake: When Magnum is fighting the one yo-yo and a half at the gas station, the big one grabs him in a bearhug. Magnum's shirt is down straight, but in the closer view his shirt is caught up in the clasped hands of the giant and is raised halfway up his back. (00:09:25)
18th May 2020
Magnum, P.I. (1980)
Continuity mistake: When Magnum, holding his pants just with his hands, screams that "YES" he and the well-bred lady did indeed meet, she is holding her hat in a different way between shots; the bow on the hat is up in the first shot, at 6 o'clock in the next. (00:11:15)
18th May 2020
Magnum, P.I. (1980)
Continuity mistake: Continuity issues happen once Magnum gets back to the table with his buddies, discussing how hard he had been blown off. TC's financial newspaper is folded differently and is still or windblown depending on the shot. Easiest transition to pick the mistake from happens when TC reaches for the money for bet; the wind lifts the page, which is perfectly flat an instant later. (00:06:00)
18th May 2020
Magnum, P.I. (1980)
Continuity mistake: Magnum offers to give the uppity girl some tour and introduce her "to some people." Wind flips through the pages as he says that, but the book she holds is perfectly open and still at the edge of the frame in the close-up. (00:05:20)
18th May 2020
Magnum, P.I. (1980)
Continuity mistake: During the beach scene at the beginning, extras get recycled - look no further than the girl in pink/purple gradient bikini that runs from right to left a few times between shots. (00:03:45)
18th May 2020
Magnum, P.I. (1980)
Continuity mistake: Higgins gets to the beach and lambastes Magnum for his "aggressively offensive attire" (on the beach, which is in fact absurd). During the scene, when the camera is on Selleck, in the background the weather is pretty cloudy, while in the wider angles there's bright sunlight on the beach and extras involved. (00:03:45)
18th May 2020
Magnum, P.I. (1980)
Continuity mistake: Magnum gets out for a swim after the second sleepless night, carrying just a towel. He has a run-in with the lads, and spends all the time running away from them till Mac fetches him and they get back to the guest house. Magnum is now also wearing his Detroit Tigers cap and brought no towel back. (00:42:15 - 00:43:45)
17th May 2020
Magnum, P.I. (1980)
Continuity mistake: In the sudden 'Nam flashback, the helicopter is hit and everyone starts shooting. Rick in close-up is shooting holding the M16 with his right hand for support and the left hand on the trigger, while in the following POV shot the person shooting is doing it the other way around. (00:16:15)
17th May 2020
Magnum, P.I. (1980)
Continuity mistake: In the alley fight, TC runs chasing a bad guy past an upturned cart. He is slowed down by a guy with a hat; when he has his arms around his shoulders, you can see that Roger E. Mosley (or his leaner stunt double) is not wearing a bracelet on his right wrist anymore. (00:39:10)
17th May 2020
Magnum, P.I. (1980)
Continuity mistake: The blood on Magnum's shirt when he lies in the middle of the street changes from the beginning to the end. For instance, the corner of his collar has a more sparse bloodstain in the close-up rather than at the beginning. (01:33:30)
17th May 2020
Magnum, P.I. (1980)
Continuity mistake: There's a cut when General Hue flips Magnum on his back; the crowd witnessing the event changes from one shot to the next. (01:33:00)
17th May 2020
Magnum, P.I. (1980)
Continuity mistake: In the close-up of Magnum's hand on the ground, he is looking at Ky and Michelle's feet, but there's no other person lying on the ground, contrary to the rest of the scene. (01:32:20)
17th May 2020
Magnum, P.I. (1980)
Continuity mistake: Buck Greene is face to the ship, held at gunpoint. When he turns around in the next shot, his right hand is significantly above the previous position (look at the yellow tag for reference). (01:24:30)
17th May 2020
Magnum, P.I. (1980)
Continuity mistake: Ky is leaning against the church wall motioning Magnum and Lady Hue to move. In the two shots, his shadow shifted noticeably. (01:10:15)
17th May 2020
Magnum, P.I. (1980)
Continuity mistake: When Magnum's wife is praying in the chapel, the Virgin Mary statue bare casts a shadow on the right part of the corner in close-up, while in wider angle casts a large shadow on the whole arch. (00:47:40)
17th May 2020
Magnum, P.I. (1980)
Continuity mistake: In the crowd at Little Saigon, the same extras can be seen appearing multiple times. A particularly obvious one when TC surprises Magnum and stretches his arm trying to stop him from walking away. Right in front of them, there's an old woman with a younger female in a black shirt with a diagonal stripe. Several seconds pass and those two are in the little crowd that witness Rick and Thomas fighting over the kid. (00:34:50)
17th May 2020
Magnum, P.I. (1980)
Continuity mistake: Magnum shows the picture to the old lady in the street by holding it from the top corner in the first shot, the bottom in close-up. (00:33:50)
