No Need to Know - S1-E5

Plot hole: Towards the beginning of the episode a peculiar arrangement is presented; Magnum has to share the guest house with two stewardesses, Mandy and Suzie. The night of the party, they both go for a swim. Mandy is involved in a shooting, and following scenes include her resting at the guest house. Suzie is never heard from since. She does not have a place to sleep; it is made clear that the main house has not been arranged yet for that purpose, the Brigadier and his escort have to leave first. She is not there in the morning. She just vanishes.

Thank Heaven for Little Girls and Big Ones Too - S1-E4

Plot hole: "Three Tahitians", one of the masterpieces from one of the most famous post-impressionist painters in the world, is authenticated by an ordinary school teacher. Because that's the person for this multimillionaire job, obviously. (00:25:20)

China Doll - S1-E3

Plot hole: Choi is a single guy with no help from anyone else no superpowers (just a rather deadly fist), always shown on foot and yet he is able to follow Magnum always. He has to ask for directions at the beginning of the episode (with the store being about 3 doors away) so he's not omniscient, but somehow he is able to show up wherever Magnum goes, including where he just drove his super fast Ferrari, or when he's getting free helicopter rides.No explanation is attempted or hinted.

China Doll - S1-E3

Plot hole: Choi spends less than a minute inside the antique store. Magnum and Mai Ling left another minute earlier, tops - you could see Choi making his way to the store in the same street shot when M&M were leaving. And yet, TC's chopper is already passing over Choi's heads when he asks where the girl and her precious belonging are. Of course it makes no sense especially considering that TC had landed on a beach spot, tied down the rotor, argued with Magnum...it'd take minutes to take off, and Magnum and Mai Ling were in no rush at all, not making a run for it. (00:13:00 - 00:14:45)

Don't Eat the Snow in Hawaii - S1-E1

Plot hole: The clock at customs signals it is 9:05 AM when Lt. Dan Cook arrives at Hickam. Magnum narrowly misses him. Then he goes back home...and it is night. There is no reason why Magnum would have spent the whole day out of the house, especially never checking on his fraternal buddy he was supposed to chaperone to begin with.

Legacy from a Friend - S3-E18

Plot hole: Magnum is amazingly naive in this episode, blindly believing the story about Tracy Spencer being a cop against every possible evidence of the contrary. This buffoonery aside, Tracy saves him from the two girls identifying herself as a cop, but a couple scenes later they both go meet their boss and try to set up a sting passing off as dealers of stolen goods. That does not make any sense.

Forty Years from Sand Island - S3-E17

Plot hole: The culprit is in cahoots with the man that Magnum is trying to expose as WWII war criminal, and fears nothing from him, as he even explains to Magnum later; in fact he is his goose with the golden eggs. Yet he, a politician, kills his guy in broad daylight, for no reason, running the risk not only to be caught red-handed, but also more logically to be linked to him due to the investigations that will unveil the deceased as one of his major supporters. Instead, he does not touch Magnum, someone he has no connections with and tons of potential enemies. Let's not forget that the main motive that pushes Magnum to investigate is his assumption that someone wanted to kill Higgins, which is not the case, and the culprit knows that.

I Do? - S3-E16

Plot hole: Marsha and Magnum have a wedding in great pomp and supposedly need to entrap an embezzler making believable their relationship...but who goes to work the day after their own wedding? A board is also mentioned, but apparently Magnum was appointed VP without any prior consultation.

Of Sound Mind - S3-E12

Plot hole: The resolution of the episode hinges on the fact that a certain person was not mentioned in the will of the deceased. But they were, and even in a better position than everyone else (besides Magnum).
