Did You See the Sun Rise? - S3-E1
Continuity mistake: Nuzo is at TC's arming himself like in 'Nam. There's a beer cooler on the table; he does not touch it but when the other two 'Nam buddies arrive the cooler moved. Also, there's a cassette player by him implying that he is listening to "Satisfaction", which he hums some verses to. However, there is no further showing of the tape player later and the song eventually fades without anyone removing the object. (00:55:50)

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)

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)

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
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)
15th Mar 2020
Continuity mistake: In the finale, the wet stain on Mr. MacLeish's body changes between the close-up and the wider angle. (00:47:15)
13th Mar 2020
Continuity mistake: When a subservient TC grabs Magnum's suitcase, the torn-up gas bills move from his left hand to his right between shots. (00:22:15)
13th Mar 2020
Continuity mistake: When Cora stands up saying "I don't have to listen to this", the blinds at the window Phil Lewis is standing close to are half open (that is, the top half open, the bottom half of the window obscured). In the rest of the scene the blinds are fully open. (00:37:55)

The Eighth Part of the Village - S3-E3
Continuity mistake: When the girls come out of the crate, the lid of the crate rests on top of it, sticking out by quite a bit, and parallel. During the fight, when Selleck is replaced by a stunt double, the lid sticks out by a small corner. Earlier when he was trying to talk his way out of it and let the girl go, the shadow of the lid also varied in size depending on the camera angle. (00:10:20)

Almost Home - S3-E10
Continuity mistake: In a remarkable coincidence, the Admiral Magnum needs to talk to happens to be chilling at his place about to get a mouthful of Higgins' buns. When he answers Magnum "Probably too much" after the vigorous shake, his left hand is behind the seat of the Ferrari, but it's on the car door in the shot that follows. (00:22:15)
13th Mar 2020
Continuity mistake: During the car chase, Magnum is wearing a large wristband, which appears also in the close-ups of the gears being shifted. It's nowhere to be seen in the side views of Tom Selleck in the car, though. (00:21:40)
6th Mar 2020
Did You See the Sun Rise? - S3-E1
Continuity mistake: Magnum's sling looks different before the flashback and after it when he speaks with Higgins. (00:48:50)
5th Sep 2019
Continuity mistake: In the first minutes, Rick is talking up the properties of some special fruit juice. He passes the glass to Magnum, who takes a sip from a slightly fuller glass than he was given, and passes back to him a glass with a level of juice that drops dramatically between shots, and keeps doing so throughout the entire scene. (00:04:20)
