Almost Home - S3-E10
Continuity mistake: Having breakfast with his client, Magnum asks her "Why did the Navy arrest you?" He starts asking while she has the left hand raised, but ends up doing it while she has her right hand raised and chewing on it. (00:08:25)
Almost Home - S3-E10
Continuity mistake: Agatha is cutting a piece of wood; she is almost done in close-up, the top part of the board is vibrating and about to come off. In the wider angle that follows, Agatha has yet to do a lot of work on it, the cut path is inconsistent with the one previously seen, almost mirrors it. (00:04:15)
Continuity mistake: Magnum goes to the archives, back home and then to Earl' son wearing khaki shirt and shorts and his Detroit Tigers cap. When he rushes his Ferrari back home, he's wearing jeans, a purple sweater and his Da Nang cap. (00:28:40)
Continuity mistake: When Higgins brings Earl at the airport, the same extras can be seen walking back and forth over and over - some instantaneously recognizable like the dark haired woman with the long azure patterned dress, or the woman with short hair, white top and khaki shorts, wearing a purple lei. (00:42:30)
Continuity mistake: Once Higgins sends away Zeus and Apollo, Magnum looks down briefly at his own feet, which are one in front of the other. A close-up on Higgins happens then, and then another on Magnum, who only then is looking down at his feet and realizing he's standing on the prized soil, and in the following close-up steps away from it, having both feet together at the same level. (00:16:00)
Continuity mistake: During Earl's story about the dead sumo wrestler, Ernst Borgnine and Tom Selleck's hands have inconsistent positions between cuts. Magnum's hands hold the chopsticks at or well below the table level, and White Death's hand is closed first, then open. (00:09:20)
Continuity mistake: Magnum chirps "Hey, we can talk about this!" as a guy grabs him from behind and Rick is on the ground holding a hand on his cheek. But in the close-up, Larry Manetti's hand is noticeably lower on the jaw. (00:06:20)
Continuity mistake: The first time we see Mr. White Death in the ring, he gets pushed into the corner by his opponent but he shoulder-tackles him to the ground. So when Rick talks to Harry, makes sense that both wrestlers are rolling on the canvas. Less sense though that after they cut to footage of the two wrestlers trading blow standing, Rick and Harry are still talking with the two big guys downed and tumbling around. (00:04:40)
Continuity mistake: At the end of the episode, TC receives the bags and basket from Higgins' ladies; in the transition across the "Evelyn gets a teensy bit airsick." line, the two women behind Agatha have different hand positions - in particular the one with the maroon dress is adjusting her cleavage in the first shot, but has both hands supporting the camera in the next. The position of the bag and goggles on Agatha's arm change too, noticeably as the bag'strap is off/on the sleeve all of a sudden. (00:45:25)
Continuity mistake: When Higgins asks TC "Was I wrong to assume" at the end of the episode, TC's right arm is lowered, while it should be raised enough for him to keep his hand on the chopper door. (00:44:25)
Continuity mistake: Magnum, defeated, receives the racket from TC and makes his way to the court. In the scene in the locker room, his injured finger was not taped. When he talks to his insidious double partner before the match, the index is fully taped. (00:35:00)
Continuity mistake: When an annoyed Magnum tells TC in the locker room "Well then you can play!", the coach, mentor and potential killer is holding the racket turned towards a different direction (by the flat or by the side). (00:34:05)
Continuity mistake: Magnum suggests Carrie to quit; she tells him it's not that easy. Obvious discontinuity in the hair position at the transition between the two shots; big curtain of hair draped around the shoulder, clears itself back in the second. It happens again, and it is again self-evident even later when Higgins barges in and there's an overhead shot from his position. (00:30:00)
Continuity mistake: Seeing Higgins in the audience, TC dismounts from his big boy chair and prepares to storm across the court, pencil on the ear and clipboard in his right hand. To the other end of the net, the pencil is at a different angle and the clipboard jumps to the left hand. (00:19:40)
Continuity mistake: When Rick collides with his double partner, the wind is still. Close-up on both of them as romance sparks, and the wind is blowing heavily. (00:16:35)
Continuity mistake: Discussing the hanged figurine in Higgins' study, Magnum is holding the string very close to the noose in the close-up, but definitely at large distance in the wider angles. (00:12:00)
Continuity mistake: Magnum is introduced to the capricious Carrie Reardon. She says that she hopes he's better than the last babysitter they gave her. Behind her, you can spot some tennis balls between courts. Kenny Phelps chases her, and the court is all clear. (00:09:35)
Continuity mistake: Carrie is having a hissy fit because she believes that Ginger tries to put strain on her ankle. The towel on her shoulder is folded differently in the different angles. (00:09:10)
Continuity mistake: Rick guesses the player Higgins managed to go against, "Tappy" Larsen. As he says the name, he puts the racket hand on the net and the ball hand behind it. Next shot and both are on it. Similar mistakes happens at the end of the reminiscing part of the convo, with Rick again suddenly changing position (hand on the racket all of a sudden) between shots. (00:04:35)
Continuity mistake: When Higgins makes his way towards the net and we get the wide shot of the court, there are obvious shadows from the foliage all over the playing space, which is totally sunlit in the other angles. (00:03:35)
