Never Again... Never Again - S1-E7

Continuity mistake: When Magnum switches on the table lamp inside Dr. Bernard Kessler's study, the pencil is on the left side of the green blotter. In close-up it sits on the right of the pad. (00:34:25)

Never Again... Never Again - S1-E7

Revealing mistake: The day for night filming is particularly obvious at the entrance fence, and when the two mysterious guys try are kneeling outside of the house wondering how many people they have to deal with, with just 4 shots; you can see perfectly white clouds. It's even worse later in the episode when the Ferrari stops in front of the doctor's house; you can literally see the sun shine reflected by the car and the wet asphalt throughout the whole scene. (00:26:15)

Never Again... Never Again - S1-E7

Continuity mistake: When Magnum runs into Saul and Lena's home, the shadow of the hedge covers the whole steps. They stay inside less than a minute, and when Rick stands there wondering how's gonna break the news gently, the hedge shadow reaches barely half the width of the steps. (00:11:10)

Never Again... Never Again - S1-E7

Continuity mistake: Look when Magnum and Rick in front of the shirt shop begin to get out of the car. Before the cut, passersby enter in frame, and are gone in the next shot. (00:09:10)

Never Again... Never Again - S1-E7

Continuity mistake: Rick and Magnum see an ambulance in front of Saul's home. There's a guy walking down the street, exactly on a curb cut. The Ferrari races by him, and yet in the next shot the guy with his relaxed stroll is several meters forward. (00:10:35)

Never Again... Never Again - S1-E7

Continuity mistake: In the close-up where Rick giggles at Magnum after he got smacked, his pen is in his left hand. Next shot and he's writing with his right hand. (00:06:05)

Never Again... Never Again - S1-E7

Continuity mistake: In the first scene with Saul Greenberg outside his store, the same woman with blonde hair and a yellow top and blue pants passes behind him at least three times. (00:04:00)

Never Again... Never Again - S1-E7

Continuity mistake: When the Mercedes gets close to the shop (as the two occupants themselves say), it cuts to a closer angle, but the passersby change during this cut (the woman with a purple dress jumps 15 meters ahead, the people past the carpet store are different, etc). (00:03:30)

Skin Deep - S1-E6

Factual error: For the ballistic test, Higgins goes on to explain in great length that the shell contains 12 pellets, but when he displays the effect on the second target, it's blatant that there are way more than 12 holes in it - and the way the test is done, it is specified that it is the result of a single shell being fired. Incidentally, there are also more pellets than what Higgins states when he empties the shell initially -14 instead of 12 - but this last detail realistically can be assessed only if you pause. (00:29:20)

Skin Deep - S1-E6

Other mistake: Erin at the beginning of the episode records her acting using a camera on a fixed support. She gets interrupted once. She resumes then. The camera angle is different, and then simply changes (as it's made clear by Magnum rewatching later the actual tape) without anyone else operating the camera.

Skin Deep - S1-E6

Character mistake: When TC is calling help on the radio, he is wearing the team ring upside down (with the double arms of the cross of Lorraine pointing away from him). (00:42:20)

Skin Deep - S1-E6

Trivia: Magnum gets information from the chopper driver saying he's "McGarrett from Five-0", in an obvious reference to the other iconic show set in Hawaii. (00:36:20)

Skin Deep - S1-E6

Character mistake: TC calls for help on the radio transmitting his distress signal with "This is Bravo Fower One Six", and then he shoots the rocket with his chopper's identification N58243 in plain sight (none of it matching B416). (00:42:20)

Skin Deep - S1-E6

Factual error: When Magnum looks at the collection of tapes and books from Erin, the shelves are stocked entirely with tapes marked L-250, L-500, L-750. A huge collection...for Betamax, but Erin's VHR player is a VHS, as shown by the logo in close-ups. And in fact, Magnum to watch her movie puts in close-up a T-120 tape in the machine, which is the proper format. (00:21:15)

Skin Deep - S1-E6

Trivia: The episode is dedicated to the memory of camera technician Robert Van Der Kar who died in the movie. He died in the crash of the N58243 helicopter shown in this episode. Footage of that helicopter will be seen after this episode for many other episodes and even in later seasons, generally for panoramic shots. It's instantly recognizable because of the skids with flotation gear.

Skin Deep - S1-E6

Revealing mistake: The prosthetics for Magnum's war wound at the collarbone are off during the volley scene at the end, so it just looks like Tom Selleck has a worn-out patch sticking from his chest and about to come off. (00:48:20)

Skin Deep - S1-E6

Continuity mistake: At the end of the episode, when Magnum says "Two can't be a gaggle" the woman with a yellow towel in the background jumps significantly back in her path between shots. (00:47:15)

Skin Deep - S1-E6

Stupidity: TC moves down the cliff to help Magnum only after a whole lot of time has passed, but he had to hear the shots being fired in the uninhabited island way earlier than that.

Skin Deep - S1-E6

Continuity mistake: In the close-up where Magnum picks a revolver up from the weapon locker, shadows of the various guns in the rack change position compared to the rest of the scene. (00:20:35)

Skin Deep - S1-E6

Continuity mistake: Rick leads Magnum to David Norman that is drinking heavily at the club. When he shouts "Nurse" at the beginning, a woman in a pink bikini holding a straw hat moves across the area to get to railing. That same woman walks in and "just reaches the railing" about 4 times during the remainder of the scene. (00:10:10)
