Wave Goodbye - S2-E7
Continuity mistake: In the scene with Magnum approaching the two cops on the murder scene, the light difference between Selleck's close-ups (casting a marked shadow on his chest) and the rest, is quite striking. (00:08:30)
Wave Goodbye - S2-E7
Continuity mistake: Magnum is being searched by the young, nicer cop in the shack. His colleague is holding his gun with his arm loose, but he's got the thumb on the holster in the next shot. (00:13:05)
Wave Goodbye - S2-E7
Continuity mistake: Gary Something enters his own home on the beach and Magnum is on all fours with the two cops pointing the guns. The older one is holding the gun with just his right hand, but he is handling it with both in the next shot. (00:13:50)
Wave Goodbye - S2-E7
Continuity mistake: During the scene at the Kamehameha Club when Magnum enlists Rick and TC's help, the same woman with a navy and white swimsuit with a white belt walks by the surf first, then behind Rick, with a different guy each time in the span of a few seconds. (00:17:10 - 00:18:00)
Wave Goodbye - S2-E7
Continuity mistake: TC elbows Rick protesting for the choice of cover-up name. Between them, the big boned waitress smiles and turns around with her tray. The bartender is on the phone with the dealer, and it cuts briefly to the duo waiting at the counter. The waitress is still there, turning and smiling. (00:20:10)
Continuity mistake: Magnum is pouring sweat at the beginning of the episode, with a huge sweatstain at the front of his tanktop. He's wearing the same one when he talks to his client, but it's all dry. (00:03:00)
Continuity mistake: Higgins and Agatha fall down in the longshot facing the same direction, but when Mad Buck sits up and puffs, they are facing each other instead. (00:07:30)
Continuity mistake: Magnum stares wide eyed at Buck and his target practice in the bathtub. In the shot of the room, you can see in the head area of the target already a soot mark where the extra hole will open later - and there is no trace of it in the opening close-up. (00:14:55)
Continuity mistake: After Higgins finally agrees to Magnum's three month deal, when it cuts to the Ferrari driving down the street, the car easily drives forward into the huge space between two other parked vehicles, but in the next shot the blue vehicle parked behind the Ferrari is now much closer (note the parking meter), which would have made the Ferrari's previous maneuver impossible. (00:18:40)
Continuity mistake: In the barroom brawl, Rick foolishly attacks the huge dude. He backhands him into oblivion, sending him falling back-first off frame. Rick crashes on the stools belly-first though, and the stools were at very short distance, not exactly room for him to turn another time and fall as shown. (00:22:55)
Continuity mistake: When Magnum takes the Audi to go after Buck, the Audi's rearview mirror disappears and reappears during the car chase. (00:33:00)
Continuity mistake: Leaving the hospital magnum has a black eye on his right side. When he gets home it's on his left eye.
The Taking of Dick McWilliams - S2-E9
Continuity mistake: Magnum is busy doing his taxes with TC on the couch when Higgins arrives. Throughout the scene, the position of Magnum's calculator on the table changes between shots. (00:05:30)
The Taking of Dick McWilliams - S2-E9
Continuity mistake: In the hotel suite, Dick says "I bet you that the bed is round" etc. Mitsu puts her right hand on top of the left looking at him and listening. Close-up, and it's the other way around, it's the left on top. (00:12:10)
The Taking of Dick McWilliams - S2-E9
Continuity mistake: In the wedding night flashback, Mitsu puts her hand on Dick's chest, with the fingers that either poke above the undone tie, or don't, depending on the angle. (00:13:30)
The Taking of Dick McWilliams - S2-E9
Continuity mistake: In the tunnel scene, the shadows at the end do not match -at all - between the different angles - in fact, the whole road is different, it's now more of a mountain road, the other parallel street disappeared. (00:18:00)
The Taking of Dick McWilliams - S2-E9
Continuity mistake: When the chopper follows the group of cars, their number changes between shots (5 in the widest aerial shot, 7 from the camera car). (00:19:00)
The Taking of Dick McWilliams - S2-E9
Continuity mistake: Rick is on the phone with "Shakey" while TC, who spotted his black eye, is pestering him about it. Rick's hand with the piece of paper changes height between shots. (00:22:10)
The Taking of Dick McWilliams - S2-E9
Continuity mistake: Magnum and TC found the shack and are getting inside. In the interior shot, the curtains that kept flapping in the wind in the exterior shot are practically still, and the sublinds are absent/pulled up from the side wall. (00:39:00)
The Taking of Dick McWilliams - S2-E9
Continuity mistake: Magnum and TC are doing recon on the thirteen islands; the chopper has flotation pads on the skids when it flies over the ocean and approaches the islands in panoramic views, but the normal slim skids when they finally find the hideout and land by it. (00:39:30)
