Wave Goodbye - S2-E7
Continuity mistake: During the scene at the Kamehameha Club when Magnum enlists Rick and TC's help, the same woman with a navy and white swimsuit with a white belt walks by the surf first, then behind Rick, with a different guy each time in the span of a few seconds. (00:17:10 - 00:18:00)
18th May 2020
Wave Goodbye - S2-E7
Continuity mistake: Gary Something enters his own home on the beach and Magnum is on all fours with the two cops pointing the guns. The older one is holding the gun with just his right hand, but he is handling it with both in the next shot. (00:13:50)
18th May 2020
Wave Goodbye - S2-E7
Continuity mistake: Magnum is being searched by the young, nicer cop in the shack. His colleague is holding his gun with his arm loose, but he's got the thumb on the holster in the next shot. (00:13:05)
18th May 2020
Wave Goodbye - S2-E7
Continuity mistake: In the scene with Magnum approaching the two cops on the murder scene, the light difference between Selleck's close-ups (casting a marked shadow on his chest) and the rest, is quite striking. (00:08:30)

Wave Goodbye - S2-E7
Visible crew/equipment: Rick breaks the news about Kacy when Magnum sits by him. On Tom Selleck's sunglasses, set lights are reflected. (00:07:25)
18th May 2020
Wave Goodbye - S2-E7
Continuity mistake: Magnum is lying on the grass with his towel before Higgins and the lads arrive. The light is different in the two main angles used, and the towel is also placed differently, as you can tell by the position of the tag, closer to his elbow, or further away. (00:05:20)

Wave Goodbye - S2-E7
Continuity mistake: When Kacy is kissing Beardy McBeardo on the beach, her hand goes from under his arm to above it when he makes the gesture in both shots to toss her shoes in the sand. (00:04:45)
18th May 2020
Wave Goodbye - S2-E7
Continuity mistake: When Kacy emerges from the waves at the beginning of the episode, she is carrying on the beach a board with a red lightning bolt artwork. Both sides of the board were visible when she was surfing in the previous sequence, and the pattern matches neither. (00:01:45)
18th May 2020
Wave Goodbye - S2-E7
Continuity mistake: The bearded guy sits with Kacy at the surfer's bar; in the first shot with him seated, the cigarette has a noticeable rather long patch of ash, which in the rest of the scene is much shorter - with the cigarette being of the same length, too. (00:03:55)
18th May 2020
Wave Goodbye - S2-E7
Continuity mistake: The tied shirt at the neck of the blonde kid at the beginning of the episode changes position in between shots, in particular when he watches the girl leave. (00:02:55)
18th May 2020
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)
18th May 2020
Other mistake: Magnum messes up his clothes at the gas station, all covered in oil, and uses them to clean the windshield. Still, when the snotty Brit girl arrives, he recovers them from the passenger seat. That would have royally messed up the interiors, and Higgins right there would have freaked out, but neither happens. (00:11:00)
18th May 2020
Revealing mistake: When the bad guys show up at the main door surprising Higgins, the background (save a couple plants at the side of the door) is matte painting. (00:42:50)
18th May 2020
Stupidity: The elaborate plan of the bad guy obviously involves driving Magnum increasingly crazy and create a rift between Higgins and him, but practically all the most damning episodes are outside the bad guy's control, and all the steps he takes are actually harmful towards him should have Magnum been in any way competent at his job. He couldn't have predicted that Magnum would paint the whole episode under the ridiculous light of "sumo wrestler and midget" instead of "big guy and small guy", he couldn't have predicted he'd stain himself, he'd try and force himself upon the girl, he wouldn't check the girl's background.

18th May 2020
Stupidity: Higgins believes TC's story about leaning on the gate and causing sparks, but it's barely 20 seconds between the moment the lights go off and when he shows up; in 20 seconds he couldn't be from the gate of the five acres estate to the mansion's door if he ran to it, surely not in a casual night saunter. (00:39:00)
18th May 2020
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.
18th May 2020
Revealing mistake: Magnum finds inside of the mysterious woman's villa a folder about Higgins. On the right side, there is some insurance document stuff that is pure filler. On the left side (but that one fades fast so you may need to pause for that) you can see that truly she has him scouted thoroughly, because it contains information about not just Higgins, but...John Hillerman and his acting career. (00:30:10)
18th May 2020
Other mistake: At the appointment / trap at the abandoned shrine, Magnum hears a bell toll. He turn around, and it's clear that someone rang the bell pushing the log - it is still moving, it's not an automated system and there's no wind. but since the plot does not involve it, he just goes on like nothing happened. For all he knew, it could have been exactly where his supposed client or informant wanted him to go. (00:18:00)
18th May 2020
Character mistake: Sitting at the club's beach bar, when TC urges him to give him the rest of the money Rick says "eighty" when he is in fact giving at least the 9th 10 dollars bill. (00:16:20)
