Revealing mistake: When TC and Bryant leave Agent Estin's office it cuts to TC's van on the highway, and as we hear Magnum in the voiceover talking about his dad's advice, "to call the monsters out," we can see the shadow of the helicopter filming this footage. (00:08:20)
Magnum, P.I. (1980)
1 revealing mistake in Missing Melody - chronological order
Starring: Tom Selleck, Roger E. Mosley, John Hillerman, Larry Manetti
Other mistake: With power out Magnum somehow lights the gas stove with the knob, which is electric. Should have used a match. (00:26:40)
Mac: Time has little to do with infinity and jelly donuts.
Trivia: At the awards ceremony, three men seated at a table together resemble three detectives from 1970s TV shows. Detective Mike Stone (played by Karl Malden) from ABC's Streets of San Francisco; Detective Frank Columbo (played by Peter Falk) from NBC's Columbo; and Detective Theo Kojak (played by Telly Savalas) from CBS's Kojak.
