Forty - S7-E17

Continuity mistake: When Magnum answers the phone call from John Costa he's wearing the new shirt with a striped colorful pattern, which was a birthday present from his mother. During Magnum's introduction to Costa in the alley, the style of Magnum's shirt is the same, but the striped pattern has changed. Then the pattern changes again when Magnum returns home bruised.

Autumn Warrior - S7-E13

Continuity mistake: When Higgins and Del Haynes leave the house Higgins is wearing his camo vest and hat, which he wears throughout the episode until the end. Though the style of his hat and vest remain the same, the actual camouflage pattern on both the hat and vest changes. There are two different hats and three different vests. The changes even occur between shots, such as during the scene at the end when Higgins returns to the estate.

Missing Melody - S7-E11

Continuity mistake: When TC gets off the phone he tells the others that somebody must go to the Sea Palms Hotel, room 401. During their joint mission, Magnum responds to TC on the walkie and tells him he'll call back when he's in the room. Then Magnum enters room 1201, not room 401 as the kidnappers had instructed, right before the kidnappers call room 1201. (00:37:00 - 00:38:30)

Kapu - S7-E10

Continuity mistake: While Norm Vogel is meeting with a man at the Hawaii Museum, getting information about the tiny shells from Alea's necklace, in the wide shot we see the map with the island of Molokai, when they walk over to it. In the next closeup of the map, there are now three small (fictional) islands north of the island of Molokai, which have been deliberately drawn onto the map for this closeup. (00:32:50)

Continuity mistake: When Magnum takes one of the outrigger canoes, the paddle he uses to paddle away from the island has a normal handle, but in the overhead wide shot facing Magnum's back, he's using a paddle with a T-grip handle, then it's back to the paddle with a normal handle in following shots.

Continuity mistake: While Rick goes around asking if anyone's seen Magnum, there's a closeup of Rita as she pulls back one side of her blouse to admire her new tattoo, and in this closeup she's wearing a watch with a silver face and her new tattoo has a horizontal curve, but in the next shot Rita's watch is a smaller all black style and the tattoo is now more vertical.

Holmes Is Where the Heart Is - S4-E18

Continuity mistake: While we hear Higgins in voiceover as the flame is moved closer to his hand, there is a segue to Magnum's voiceover as he reads the typed words of Higgins' memoir, which we see onscreen. The problem is Magnum reads, "I knew I had no information to give them," yet those words are not actually typed on the paper. (00:39:15)

Smaller Than Life - S4-E3

Continuity mistake: At the hospital, there's a push button desk phone on the table between Lee's and Magnum's beds. There are two closeups of this telephone when both Lee and Magnum lift the handset, and the entire telephone changes to a multi-line desk phone. Plus, in Lee's handset closeup, his hospital ID bracelet changes from narrow to twice the width, and in Magnum's handset closeup, the large floral box of tissues change to a short box of tissues.
