The Taking of Dick McWilliams - S2-E9
Visible crew/equipment: After the trio nab Kaholo and his cut of the money, Magnum is driving to Mitsu, and when it cuts to Nishimoto with his daughter, there are two black plastic T-marks on the ground at their feet. (00:42:30)
The Taking of Dick McWilliams - S2-E9
Factual error: Mitsu comes from a strict family of Japanese heritage who stay true to the culture, donning the oriental garb and unequivocally showing that she follows the tradition, but she does not even know how to pronounce "Arigato" correctly. (00:43:00)
The Taking of Dick McWilliams - S2-E9
Revealing mistake: In the close-ups during the fight with Mr. Nishimoto, Tom Selleck is giggling and having a good time while an old army buddy of his just died and he supposedly fights to save his widow from spilling her guts on the floor. (00:45:20)
The Taking of Dick McWilliams - S2-E9
Revealing mistake: As Mitsu's dad begins to do all sort of crazy karate roundhouse stuff, Tom Selleck transforms into his stunt double to better face the menace. You can see his face distinctly when he dodges. (00:45:20)
The Taking of Dick McWilliams - S2-E9
Continuity mistake: Magnum asks Gloria about her car mentioning it's a "1974 blue Sedan, AFF 444." The license plate was different (BBR 877) and a different model - it's blue, that's just about it.
The Taking of Dick McWilliams - S2-E9
Revealing mistake: During the various scenes in flight, TC's shades reflect a still landscape with hills even when he makes wild maneuvers or flies over the ocean.
Revealing mistake: At the beginning of the episode, Magnum hangs up the phone and runs out of the guest house to heed Higgins' call and find the lawn swarming with ballerinas. As he comes out of the door, you can get a glimpse of the actual interior, which does not match the set used throughout the series. (00:06:00)
Continuity mistake: Magnum is telling Kendall while she is torturing some ballet shoes "You have to stick by me." Between shots, she's holding the ballerina turned in the opposite direction. (00:12:55)
Continuity mistake: When Magnum looks at the client Rick is forcing upon him, the man at the table behind her changes position at the cut, and and people on the beach just disappear. (00:16:20)
Continuity mistake: In the forceful kiss scene on the lawn, Andrea Marcovicci's hand changes position (on the grass/on Magnum's shoulder) between shots. (00:21:25)
Revealing mistake: The romantic wrestling after dinner scene is shot day-for-night, with unnatural brightness and very pronounced shadows. (00:23:20)
Revealing mistake: When Higgins rolls over the man that got shot in the struggle, the 'dead' person raises his evidently not-so-dead-yet right leg to avoid rolling back to the side. (00:25:00)
Audio problem: In jail, the phrase Magnum mutters under his breath, "Like a spook", is dubbed in with a second of delay on Tom Selleck's lip movements. (00:26:00)
Continuity mistake: Magnum is back to the ballet rehearsal after his bribing routine with Mac. Kendall uses the line "I really appreciate everything you did last night" and you can spot she is touching the side of her head with her hand. Close-up and the hand is gone. (00:30:35)
Continuity mistake: A very sweaty Kendall is about to tell Magnum about the correspondent. She goes to the barre to fetch her robe; the robe is folded over it in a different position compared to how it looked in the previous part of the scene; the sleeves hang down by a completely different length. (00:30:55)
Continuity mistake: Magnum is listening to the story about the correspondent, leaning over the piano. Depending on the camera angle he has crossed arms, or both forward with the hands joined. (00:31:45)
Visible crew/equipment: After Magnum tells Kendall that the agent had been killed in a car accident and that's why he never showed up, when Kendall gets up and walks away from Magnum and the piano, the actor's white T-mark is visible on the floor beside Magnum's feet. (00:32:30)
Continuity mistake: When Magnum moves over her to console her after the brutal handling of the Ruskies, Kendall is lying on her side with the left knee touching the floor at first, then raised. (00:44:00)
Continuity mistake: Magnum carries off stage the ballerina while the two CIA agents look at him. The white haired one has his hands on his pockets, but the jacket is closed in one shot and unbuttoned in the next. (00:44:30)
Revealing mistake: Characteristic set lights are reflected on the car windows when Kendall drives off in the last minutes of the episode. (00:46:15)
