The Woman on the Beach - S2-E3

Continuity mistake: Rick spots the portrait of the mysterious woman on the beach (who apparently always wears the same clothes); the clock hands are at 12:10 when he stands and approaches it. In close-up it's twenty to 4. (00:16:10)

The Woman on the Beach - S2-E3

Continuity mistake: Rick asks Kemo the bartender for a cigarette. In the background, a man in black walks by a tiki torch. Cut to Kemo for a second as he hands him the cig, and when Rick is back in frame, the man in black is walking by another tiki torch that was several meters earlier in his path. (00:09:00)

The Woman on the Beach - S2-E3

Continuity mistake: The woman in white leans over the back of a chair and clears her throat to discreetly shoo away an officer with his belle. There's difference in lighting between close-ups and the rest, and the position of the loose end of her scarf changes as well. (00:02:45)

Dead Man's Channel - S2-E2

Continuity mistake: Magnum puffs holding Keone's photo with his right hand - which was both hands before the sudden cut. He then drops the photo on the table, but when he digs the map from underneath the pad, the photo changes position entirely again during a sudden cut. (00:29:30)

Dead Man's Channel - S2-E2

Continuity mistake: When Marion asks "He's dead, isn't he?" hair pops in front of her shoulder suddenly after the cut. In fact, throughout the whole scene notice how in close-ups it's in front of her shoulder, in wider ones behind her back. (00:24:25)

Dead Man's Channel - S2-E2

Continuity mistake: Magnum is saved, and it's time for the others to concern themselves with the assailant. Rick dives in a close-up to look for him. The mask is really close to him all of a sudden, and in a different position (practically touching Magnum's chest) in next shot. (00:23:20)

Dead Man's Channel - S2-E2

Continuity mistake: On his way to Rick's boat, Magnum stops to talk with the witch lady. A very short drive and he's then in front of the boat. Rick is in the background and he starts moving and preparing to greet him, but in the close-up it's as if he has been chilling all along and only then decides to be active. (00:21:20)

Dead Man's Channel - S2-E2

Continuity mistake: Marion Hammond unlocks the boat door and finds a mess. Between the establishing shot of the interior and the one with Tom Selleck inside, the towel on the ladder moved, and a diary tossed on top of the typewriter flipped without anyone coming anywhere near. (00:10:05)

Billy Joe Bob - S2-E1

Continuity mistake: At the beginning of the episode, the titular character makes his way towards the club. He glances at the Ferrari parked there, its nose towards the club. A couple minutes later, Magnum drags him out of the club (no valets involved), and the Ferrari now is parked facing the opposite direction and with a total change of natural lights. (00:03:10 - 00:05:20)
