Squeeze Play - S4-E7
Revealing mistake: Higgins speaks with the idiotic nephew of the most hated (temporary) new boss, who tells him uncle is in the Den. Higgins opens the door and before it cuts to the new scene, you can peek through the door and see that the lights are switched off; Higgins is walking into an empty room (would be fun if it were the broom closet, but it's actually the correct photoset, just with nobody there).

Squeeze Play - S4-E7
Continuity mistake: When "Wallace McNurty" mentions the "lunchtime drinking" the two workers in front of him are increasingly distant from each other at the cut, and the bearded one has his hands on hips and not down his sides. (00:18:10)
27th May 2020
Continuity mistake: For the first episodes (minus the plot), the opening of the series features the Ferrari with two different license plates. The opening shot shows the ROBIN-1 vanity plate that is in every episode but not in the most well known version of the opening (with the iconic Mike Post theme music used in all the other seasons), and the following shows the license plate from the pilot.

Squeeze Play - S4-E7
Revealing mistake: The construction workers in the bar believe Magnum's bluff about being an inspector, and make a run for it trampling him. Tom Selleck's stuntman is the one taking the risk of having a mob of big guys stomp him - and you can actually spot a fake moustache dangling loose during the action. (00:18:30)

Squeeze Play - S4-E7
Continuity mistake: When they haul away the poor Rick hit "in the stomach", TC teleports between shots from Lola's right to her left. (00:11:15)
27th May 2020
Squeeze Play - S4-E7
Revealing mistake: When Lola hits back Rick's pitch and gets him in the 'nads, it's transparent in the shot of her swing that the ball was not flying back at the pitcher in a million years. (00:10:55)
27th May 2020
Squeeze Play - S4-E7
Continuity mistake: The sweat on Lola's shirt during practice goes in her cleavage at different depth; best time to notice when TC apologizes for saying "you pitch like a girl" to Rick, and then Magnum calls her to be the batter. (00:10:25)
27th May 2020
Squeeze Play - S4-E7
Continuity mistake: When Higgins is shouting at Magnum while choking his chicken, Magnum holds his salted sucker at a different tilt depending on the shot. (00:07:40)
27th May 2020
Squeeze Play - S4-E7
Continuity mistake: Magnum's lollipop shifts from left to right in his mouth between cuts as he cheers for the Tigers' double play talking with Higgins at the beginning. (00:06:20)
27th May 2020
Squeeze Play - S4-E7
Character mistake: Misunderstanding which "Washington Senators" Mickey Dalrumple was referring to, Robin Masters says they went "out of existence in 1969." The Washington Senators ceased to exist with the 1971 season, before they relocated to become the Texas Rangers. (00:04:00)
27th May 2020
Squeeze Play - S4-E7
Continuity mistake: During the poker game at the beginning, the positions of Robin and Buzz's cards change a few times - Buzz unveils his winning 4 Ks to the left of the deck, but it is to its right immediately after, and Robin's cards are on or a bit away from the table's border. (00:02:30)
27th May 2020
Other mistake: Magnum and Vivian are not listening to the TV at loud volume (they have a quiet time watching and talking without raising their voice), but Higgins, all of a sudden hears it all the way from the main house and is greatly bothered by it.
27th May 2020
Audio problem: When Vivian tells Higgins "Will you visit me in England?" as the car takes her to the airport, a stock buzzing sound of an electric window is dubbed in, but look at Jane Merrow's shoulder; she's cranking the handle. Not quite the car for a Duchess. (00:46:10)
27th May 2020
Continuity mistake: During the surf ski race, Magnum is wearing sunglasses or not, and his paddle goes from white blades to red blades, back and forth several times. (00:42:15)
27th May 2020
Continuity mistake: Magnum asks Higgins "In the meantime, you're just gonna sit there sipping brandy, being terribly British?" Higgins answers "Yes!", cut to Magnum, hands crossed, then cut to Higgins finishing his glass, and then, all of a sudden and with the clock ticking all the way through in continuity, Magnum too is sitting there with a glass of brandy in hand. (00:31:35)
27th May 2020
Continuity mistake: When Magnum says "Ah forget it" while TC and Rick are toweling him, there's a racer behind them who hops all happy. Next shot and she's waving the towel she had around her neck. (00:43:40)
27th May 2020
Continuity mistake: Magnum during the surf ski race wears two different hats; first we see his Tigers hat (white logo), but then he has the yellow logo Da Nang hat - which he lost in the ocean during the season opener when the two "turkeys" capsized his craft. (00:42:00)
27th May 2020
Audio problem: When some black dude randomly does a kamikaze wrestling splash from the upper deck of the boat, his "Raaaawwrr!" warcry is dubbed in. (00:41:05)
27th May 2020
Revealing mistake: When Higgins KOs the main villain, two mistakes happen; first of all, the one already down for the count is buried in drums in a different way than shown before, and second and funnier, the stuntman who takes the fall from the pier is either wearing a wig or has a natural poofy head of hair - in either case, it's dry hair and not the wet thinning hair of Terence Knapp crawling out of the ocean. (00:40:55)

Visible crew/equipment: One of the barrels involved in the stunt that flattens one of the bad guys rolls towards the camera and hits it rattling it. (00:40:55)
