Revealing mistake: At the boxing gym, the litigious guy throws a punch that stays clear off Tom Selleck's face by a mile. (00:15:50)

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)

Revealing mistake: When Higgins threatens to phone the police to report Linda, Lesli stands up beside Linda and asserts, "If she goes, we go," but in this shot the person wearing Linda's clothes is actually the body double, who quickly shifts her face offscreen. (00:26:30)

Continuity mistake: In the first shot of the girls in their cellar that is heating up, the girl with the lei has her hands on her thighs, but at the cut ("Darlene") her right arm is folded. (00:32:00)

Continuity mistake: Magnum and co. Are taken to the Hawaiian gangster's place. Mano's hand in the very first shot (when Higgins' asks who's in charge) is on his own leg, but in the reverse shot he's toughing the blonde chick's thigh. (00:34:35)

Continuity mistake: When the boxer guy is defending himself from Magnum's stroke of genius, he is gesturing with his right hand, or not, depending on the camera angle. (00:37:10)

Continuity mistake: In front of The War Memorial Linda Booton is about to get out of the car; her hand on top of the window is in direct sunlight in one camera angle, shadow before and after. (00:38:05)

Visible crew/equipment: The art collecting felon spies Robin-2 leaving the premises and hops in his own car to go retrieve the painting. As he drives off, in one of the back windows a crew member is reflected in perfect detail. (00:40:10)

Revealing mistake: Rick is lurking in the pool; once the evil greenshirt Orson Welles-lookalike is hopping down the stairs, the cement in front of his hiding place has a big wet spot, no doubt from previous takes when the actor had to come out of the water dripping all over the deck. (00:41:00)

Visible crew/equipment: When Higgins tries to phone 5-0, TC lifts him up and places him out on the hotel balcony then locks the sliding glass door. The top of the camera and the bottom of the reflector screen are reflected on the glass door. (00:42:04)

Continuity mistake: On one side of the metal detectors, the bad guy has sweat soaking his shirt from shoulders to pits. When he retrieves the painting, he has just a stain at the middle of his back. (00:46:00)

Continuity mistake: The position of the tube at the end of the conveyor keeps changing between shots. (00:46:40)

Character mistake: Higgins is extremely protective of any little trinket and bric-à-brac at the Estate, but in this episode he barely bats an eyelid at a post-impressionist masterpiece being handled casually, rolled up and passed around. He handles it pretty badly himself.

Other mistake: Magnum gets inside the Waikiki Natatorium War Memorial climbing athletically over the closed gate. The bad guy comes roughly from the same direction, but given his physical state, one wonders how could he accomplish such a feat - it is conveniently kept off camera, but he comes from a direction with no gates. To beat him to the finish, Rick picks another direction entirely just walking around the bleachers! And they all end up at the same location.

Continuity mistake: The bad guy is supposed to retrieve the painting just a few minutes after Magnum made the drop, but the light is very much different between the two scenes, and the sky seems to change even between the moment the obese villain goes up the stairs and the time he somehow makes his way down them without dying.

Revealing mistake: Throughout the whole episode, every street scene downtown shows moisture and light reflections on the camera lens.
Audio problem: The episode opens with a news report, which itself opens with the words; "In Belfast, Northern Ireland, where a bomb blast destroyed an office building last Tuesday, a special task force under the command of Brigadier General Alistair Folkes", etc. The report runs for a minute, then the phone rings and Higgins, off-camera, answers. The audio of the TV fades in and out to leave room to the relevant conversation, but you can still hear that it's going in a loop, repeating the exact sentence it started with and moving on from there word by word. (00:02:00)
Continuity mistake: Magnum tosses his bag over the wall. The bag bounces off a tree and falls vertically next to it, but when Magnum climbs the wall, the bag is by his landing point, not by the tree. (00:04:00)
Other mistake: When the lads chase Magnum at the beginning, first of all they take a disproportionate amount of time to reach him, and secondly, the same footage is reused, so they effectively sprint past the same tree (with the same 2 dead leaves and straw by it) twice. (00:04:40 - 00:05:05)
Continuity mistake: When Magnum works on picking the lock to his own home, the plant next to the door is the characteristic Swiss cheese plant; it has 'holes' in the leaves. The dogs arrive and scratch at the door, and the plant is now a different one. The table and chair appear also to have moved - probably it's footage from a totally different moment or location.
