Continuity mistake: Rick pulls up in a car to the right side of a helicopter, gets out, and gets in the helicopter. When the helicopter is shown taking off, there is no car next to it. (00:38:20)
Dead Ringer - S5-E6
Continuity mistake: Magnum goes to Jack Hill's house to investigate a murder. The home has a smart lock, so he breaks in through a window. Later, Det. Chris Childs goes to the same house. This time the front is different and there is a keyhole and a pushbutton for the doorbell.
Continuity mistake: Magnum has been talking with Higgins (and then with the home invaders) through the phone placed in the dashboard. When Sergei carjacks him, he's lucky enough to have his phone in the back pocket of his pants. (00:22:00)
Continuity mistake: The car chase opens with the 2 cars driving past a Walmart, with the sign distinctly visible. A minute later, when the police joins in and Magnum says "Maybe not", the cars speed past the same Walmart as if they drove in circle. (00:07:40)
Continuity mistake: Katya meets Magnum at the beginning of the episode. She sits on the couch in the wide shot, and the couch is strongly sunlit. The natural light in the rest of the scene is much softer and barely noticeable. (00:02:15)
Continuity mistake: The two guys who stalk Magnum take off and almost run him over. You can see them drive down a road as Magnum tumbles on the asphalt to avoid them. Then Magnum gets up, has a little exchange with Rick as they both gingerly hobble towards the car, and he finally starts it and drives off...and in the 10 seconds this takes, the car is still basically at the same spot as before. Slowest getaway ever. (00:07:20)
Continuity mistake: Higgins shows Magnum the phone with Katya in the eye of the camera; her pinky finger is right at the angle of the phone in the frontal view, closer to the other fingers in the reverse shot. (00:01:55)
Continuity mistake: Toni thanks Rick at the end of the episode with the gift of a plant. When they are still by the gazebo, the flower is pointing different directions between shots. The plant also looks bent at a rather sharp angle in the shot when she says "I can't stay", but it's straight and fine in the rest of the scene. (00:37:30)
Continuity mistake: At the end of the episode, Rick ask to say a few words. In the wide shot ("Thank you"), Higgins is leaning her head on the left arm, elbow on the table. Closer view, and she is chilling all the way back on the chair. (00:36:55)
Continuity mistake: Magnum and TC pull over and shout at the man who just came out of the safety box deposit with a briefcase. Behind Magnum when he shouts "Russell!" you can see a woman with a baby stroller, wearing a teal top. She is getting inside a building. In Russell Chang's view, that woman is still far behind and has yet to reach the building. (00:29:10)
Continuity mistake: Magnum walks back towards Charlie after talking to Detective Gordon Katsumoto. TC by him is in a different spot between shots, one step or two steps close to him, which means being in the sun or not depending on the shot. (00:25:10)
Continuity mistake: Arrived at the hotel posing as Higgins' hubby, Magnum leans against the concierge desk...or not, depending whether the camera is behind him or not. (00:10:50)
Continuity mistake: Higgins and Thomas are walking in the hotel arm in arm. In the establishing shot there are two women talking almost in front of the sliding doors, but one is gone at the cut. Similarly, the distances between the other people in the hall are not consistent. (00:10:45)
Continuity mistake: Rick gets to Robin's Nest after the unsuccessful chat with Icepick. TC and Magnu mare browsing "FlicPhoto." Magnum pushes a button, one photo loads, but in close-up it's a different one. (00:09:15)
Continuity mistake: During the conversation with Icepick, his hand has perfect consistency as far as the pose goes, with one finger stretched along the receiver. What changes is the position of the hand, though; you can tell that between shots the tip of his forefinger is lower or higher up on the intercom phone, sometimes so high to be off the top of it. (00:07:00)
Continuity mistake: In the flashback, Toni tells Rick that Lyons rebought for 30k and didn't blink. Her hand is on her hip, elbow at right angle. Reverse shot, and her arm is down her side. (00:03:25)
Continuity mistake: Higgins sees from the live security cameras that Alan Sako arrived on the 22nd floor, elevator doors -just - starting to close. Then some humorous bickering ensues between Magnum and her; you'd think the two would have better things to do in a highly time sensitive life-or-death situation than go for gags for the audience, but no worries; when she looks back at the monitor 15 seconds later, Sako is still there with the elevator doors that are still closing behind him. (00:33:25)
Continuity mistake: When Magnum chokes out of the security guard, he slumps down off the chair, but Magnum is still lowering him from the seat in the next shot. (00:33:10)
Continuity mistake: Magnum and Higgins are checking out of the fourth address TC gave them; they walk around a palm tree in the first shot, and the street and asphalt are in the shadows. Reverse shot when they talk about 'mansplaining' and that part of the road is all nice and sunny. (00:24:30)
Continuity mistake: TC rings Magnum with a lead about the quad bikes rented out. Magnum instantly leaves to pursue that - however, in the first shot of him riding into the sunset with the Ferrari he is wearing a different (light blue) shirt and is alone in the car, while he arrives to his destination wearing the navy henley he had on all along, and with Higgins at his side. (00:23:55)
