Continuity mistake: Rick tosses the lighter on the table when Magnum shows up tobacco-blocking poor Higgins. The lighter is in a spot on the table next to a paper cup that was never there and is gone after, and the lighter moves too. (00:30:45)
Continuity mistake: The husband of Magnum's client shakes hands with everybody; in the first shot his other hand is at his belt, it's in his pocket in the following. (00:08:40)
Continuity mistake: Dave drinks his glass almost reaching the end, but when Magnum pulls out of the gun, the glass at the edge of the table is half full. (00:43:00)
Continuity mistake: At the end of the episode, Tanaka approaches Magnum on the hammock and they have a chat. Sticking out from Tanaka's pocket, first his pair of glasses, then a packet of cigarettes for most close-ups, then the glasses again. (00:46:20)
Italian Ice - S2-E15
Continuity mistake: Magnum pilfers the car keys from the cars, but in the first close-up there's daytime light to the shot, nothing like the night setting of the rest of the scene. (00:02:30)
Italian Ice - S2-E15
Continuity mistake: Magnum shuns Katrina in her tennis uniform trying to plan his day ahead for him. He gets in the car, wearing his plain brown shirt and baseball hat. First shot as he drives to town, with the voiceover going "Other than being a bit presumptive..." etc, and the Magnum driving the Ferrari is hat-less and with a bright red Hawaiian shirt. Of course when he reaches the campus he's in the hat and brown shirt again. (00:19:35)
Italian Ice - S2-E15
Continuity mistake: Magnum drops by at the acting seminar his disgruntled girlfriend is teaching. The books on the table appear in different positions under the different camera angles. (00:21:45)
Italian Ice - S2-E15
Continuity mistake: Magnum asks the (moderately) jealous Hawaiian about the scratch on his car. The guy says he didn't do it because it's "not nice." Margo is moving her hand from the bottom to the top of the stack she's holding, but it's back in place at the bottom in the next shot. (00:24:00)
Italian Ice - S2-E15
Continuity mistake: When TC says "Okay, you're the boss!" to the mobsters in his chopper, the back seats are empty - he lost 2/3 of his passengers. (00:28:25)
Italian Ice - S2-E15
Continuity mistake: Margos asks Magnum "Who's that?" seeing the chopper fly so low by the villa. Magnum is mostly off-frame but you can see his arm reach up to do the gesture he actually does only in the next shot - reach for his Detroit Tigers hat. (00:29:25)
Italian Ice - S2-E15
Continuity mistake: Katrina puts down the perfectly developed picture of Magnum and Margo by the car. There's nothing specific next to the spot of the counter where the photo goes, but in close-up there's a pair of scissors just handy for her to do her bunny boiler routine with. (00:32:35)
Italian Ice - S2-E15
Continuity mistake: When Magnum gets in the open theater, the natural light on the ramp is very different depending on the angle of shooting; it has a pronounced shadow of the parapet with strong sunlight, or nothing of the sort. (00:44:00)
Continuity mistake: When the title of the episode appears in the credits, there are 4 girls passing in front of the pool bar. One of them is very recognisable for her circlet in her hair, sporting purple and gold bikini and a ripped physique. That same girl, with or without the others, passes in front of the same bar several other times (at least 3) during the scene. (00:01:35)
Continuity mistake: In the opening scene the position of the girl in the inflatable chair is not coherent in the various views. In the establishing shot of the pool, she is in the corner of the part opposite the house, but then she is in a diagonally opposite spot, and later when Morita is clearing his throat to give his speech she has two different guys (not too far apart from each other but still in distinct position) by her feet. (00:01:40)
Continuity mistake: After his speech, the guys toss Jack Metro (Pat Morita) in the pool. Mrs. Eleanor Greeley is present in the faraway shot, and she has her shades in her right hand, but it cuts to a close-up of her going through her sexy chewing schtick holding them in her left hand. (00:02:50)
Continuity mistake: Pat Morita gets dunked in the pool (twice) and he is dripping wet, you can even see his black underwear through the shorts when he gets pulled up from it. Still, a couple of shots later he's nice and dry poolside with the exact same clothes and hat. (00:03:05)
Continuity mistake: Mrs. Greeley turns around and watches Dorsey Bramlett on the hammock with a girl. He is gripping the net with his hand around the middle, but in the next shot and rest of the scene he is clinging to the top. (00:03:15)
Continuity mistake: When Coach Bell is talking to Dorsey's substitute and his wife at the party, the couple is in a different position in the two different camera angles mainly used; she casts a shadow on him in a different spot, with sunlight on his arms when the camera is over Bill Edwards' shoulder, and not in the other angle. (00:04:20)
Continuity mistake: The coach is talking to the number two QB, saying he's worried about the star. "I am too, sir", he replies. A blonde with a black swimsuit walks past him, but 5 seconds later she's doing the same. (00:04:20)
Continuity mistake: When it cuts back from the sub to the star at the party, the woman is fanning him, but in the background it was him the one waving the dainty little fan. (00:04:35)
