Basket Case - S3-E14
Continuity mistake: After scoring between Magnum's legs, the kid walks away. Magnum calls her back, and they have a brief exchange. She keeps her ball against her side with her hand when viewed from behind, with her arm in the frontal. (00:07:00)

Basket Case - S3-E14
Continuity mistake: During Magnum's first team practice, light conditions change from cut to cut - for instance when the chubby kid in green says "Tell him we're not playing football", and pronounced shadows appear all of a sudden. (00:05:30)

The Arrow That Is Not Aimed - S3-E13
Character mistake: At the end of the episode, Magnum says "You know what they say about samurai swords - you unsheathe 'em, you gotta draw blood!", but throughout the episode, Tozan drew his sword on Magnum and the villain and no blood has been drawn - in case of Magnum, there was no intention of it either.

The Arrow That Is Not Aimed - S3-E13
Revealing mistake: Gallagher, the Tourist Shop Owner has been fished by Magnum but, as one of the doc workers says, he's been "Down there long time, bro, pretty bad shape" and he is "in intensive care, unconscious" later in the episode. However, just before the camera cuts away he opens his eyes. (00:35:10)

The Arrow That Is Not Aimed - S3-E13
Continuity mistake: Magnum dives fully clothed to save Gallagher, the Tourist Shop Owner. Obviously he's soaking wet after that. Later at home, Magnum is sitting at the desk in the study wearing the same polo and jeans, bone dry. (00:35:00 - 00:36:10)

The Arrow That Is Not Aimed - S3-E13
Continuity mistake: After Tozan has finished everyone in berserk mode, the dead ninja closest to Magnum is lying down in different positions between shots. (00:43:15)

The Arrow That Is Not Aimed - S3-E13
Continuity mistake: During the car chase, the weather changes from one shot to the next - the pier is fully and brightly lit, when it wasn't a moment before. (00:33:00)

The Arrow That Is Not Aimed - S3-E13
Revealing mistake: Facing an angry samurai swinging his sword John Belushi-style, Gallagher, the Tourist Shop Owner, wisely decides to hightail. When he shuts the door and when the angry Japanese touches said door to chase him, the whole wall shifts, revealing to be a set. (00:33:10)

The Arrow That Is Not Aimed - S3-E13
Visible crew/equipment: Fukuda-san is not impressed by Magnum making excuses for Tozan. When Tozan says "There is nothing to say. Fukuda-san is right", set lights are reflected in Tom Selleck's sunglasses. (00:27:00)
25th Apr 2020
The Arrow That Is Not Aimed - S3-E13
Continuity mistake: After waking up with a massive hangover, Magnum is meeting the unhappy designated recipient of the Kenzan plate. At the beginning of the convo, the table shows no direct sunlight, but at the first cut the scene is suddenly brightly lit. (00:26:40)

The Arrow That Is Not Aimed - S3-E13
Revealing mistake: The Yakuza boss contacted by Rick has an amputated pinky finger. In theory, because it's easy to spot the real finger bent and tucked in the shadow. (00:21:00)

The Arrow That Is Not Aimed - S3-E13
Revealing mistake: It is quite evident that Mako's sword does not touch the candle but smacks the table a few inches to the left. (00:17:05)
25th Apr 2020
The Arrow That Is Not Aimed - S3-E13
Continuity mistake: When Rick goes "Hohohohoho!" at Magnum's "I need your help!" passionate plea, both him and TC are sitting in different positions compared to the previous shot - they had their hands in midair and now they have them placed on the table. (00:16:10)
25th Apr 2020
The Arrow That Is Not Aimed - S3-E13
Continuity mistake: At the beginning of the scene at the King Kamehameha club, Rick and TC are laughing their pants off at the whole ninja story. Magnum says "Come on, guys!" and two people - a woman with a blue swimsuit and pareo and a man with a purple tanktop with a large light strip - are moving across the street. Those same extras are recycled later in the scene, simultaneously by the sea when Magnum's story is called 'a little far-fetched' and walking in the club area right after. (00:15:30)

The Arrow That Is Not Aimed - S3-E13
Other mistake: Magnum mispronounces the word 'seppuku' calling it it 'seppuki', prompting Higgins to correct him. He plays the role of the usual Westerner who is unfamiliar with the word and concept. But in the previous season, in 2-9, "The Taking of Dick McWilliams", not only he already had to deal with the prospect of ritual suicide, but he spontaneously mentioned the word himself ("Seppuku? You're willing to let your daughter kill herself?") with the other person simply mentioning a vague 'honorable thing to do'.

The Arrow That Is Not Aimed - S3-E13
Continuity mistake: When Magnum protests that it is in his "constitutional rights" to bug-spray the lads, his hand is on his belly, but it is on his thigh in the wider angle that follows. (00:05:00)

Higgins: How fiendishly deceptive of you, Magnum. I could have sworn I was hearing the emasculation of a large rodent. To my great surprise, I see the sounds are emanating from what I thought was a harmless musical instrument.
Magnum: Cute Higgins, real cute.
Higgins: Why Magnum? Why do this terrible thing?
Magnum: Higgins, I'll have you know I used to be very good. I was the second best sax player in my High School band!
Higgins: Well, how many sax players were there?!
Magnum: ...Anyway. I just saw this in a pawn shop window and thought I'd like to try and get my chops back.
Higgins: May I suggest that your "chops" are irretrievable.
Magnum: Higgins, did you come here just to abuse me!? (00:05:25)
