Continuity mistake: When Adelaide is crying thinking the horse to be dead, her uncle in close-up is leaning agaist the side of the door with his left hand. Longshot, and he's leaning into the frontal opening. (00:15:40)

Magnum, P.I. (1980)
Continuity mistake: The baddie is a real sharpshooter and punctures the tire of the jeep with a single gunshot. The jeep's wheel stops its spin in a close-up, but when Magnum gets off the jeep the tire looks fine, and it stopped in a different position - as you can tell by the position of the brand logo.

Magnum, P.I. (1980)
Continuity mistake: Magnum threatens to leave, but Adelaide sulks hard enough to keep him on the case. When the camera is on her, the Detroit Tigers cap is reflected in the rear mirror, and it keeps the same position regardless of Tom Selleck's head movements in the other shots. (00:09:15)

Magnum, P.I. (1980)
Revealing mistake: Magnum and Adelaide are headed to her place on TC's chopper. Throughout the sequence, the camera moves up and down but can't conceal that the fact that they are not moving at all and they are just sitting in the chopper, with set lights reflected in her glasses and even the silhouette of the rotor of the chopper, completely still, peeking through the glass.

All Roads Lead to Floyd - S1-E13
Revealing mistake: During the credits, look at the car when Andy Romano's name pops in view; the antenna and the steering wheel are on the right of the vehicle. In the rest of the episode, they are on the correct side (the left). (00:01:40)

All Roads Lead to Floyd - S1-E13
Continuity mistake: At the golf course, when it cuts to the bodyguards frisking Mr. Floyd Lewellen you can spot a total change of clouds in the background by the mountain. (00:02:20)

All Roads Lead to Floyd - S1-E13
Factual error: When Floyd is standing by the Cadillac with the vanity FLOWER license plate, on the same plate you can see in the upper right corner that its registration sticker on the license plate is a 76 one. For being a fancy car by a posh golf course, it's quite odd to be 5 years in arrears of the tax - it is, viceversa, a mistake that happens in other car props during the season. (00:04:15)

Continuity mistake: Bull is paying the outstanding bills from Floyd to the previous employer; as he rolls out of the banknotes, in the background one of the clients is a blonde young fella with a plaid jacket and white pants that was already a recurring extra in the airport scene from earlier. (00:10:50 - 00:20:05)

All Roads Lead to Floyd - S1-E13
Revealing mistake: The sequence with Floyd making a couple calls at the payphone presents a rather unusual mistake. Noah Beery Jr. looks away before he's done dialing the phone number...and he misses. His finger pushes on the chrome of the keypad missing the actual "1" key, but the scene just goes on and he dialed the right number anyway. (00:09:55)

Continuity mistake: After straightening out of the young bartender, Bull walks to the tour guide table. He sits down in two shots, and across shots the cigar suddenly jumps from one corner of the mouth to the other. (00:17:45)

Revealing mistake: When Bull pushes Magnum against a shelf during the final fight, the stuntman with a thin stage 'stache is seen. (00:44:50)

All Roads Lead to Floyd - S1-E13
Continuity mistake: When Floyd sabotages the alarm, he links two points of the circuit with a cable. The second pin attaches horizontally almost. Few minutes later Magnum passes in front of the box and finds it in a different position, perfect to be yanked off. (00:39:30 - 00:44:35)

Continuity mistake: Floyd drops the bag of stolen tickets next to the desk when he sees his daughter. Magnum retrieves it later from a different spot in the room. (00:40:35 - 00:43:20)

Continuity mistake: Mizamura and his men stand from the table; a waitress is passing by. Magnum calmly asks "And, if he doesn't?" In the following shot, the same waitress shows up again from the same direction, with the drinks on the tray in a slightly different position. (00:34:15)
