Don't Eat the Snow in Hawaii - S1-E1
Continuity mistake: Magnum begins the episode coming out of the water. The hair on his forehead is frizzy as he stretches his shoulder with the old war wound. He begins his run, cut to a new shot with his hair now slicked back. When he reminisces about 'Nam later, his hair returns in a frizzy bang, and by the time he's calling Higgins a yo-yo, it is almost dry. (00:00:30)
Don't Eat the Snow in Hawaii - S1-E1
Continuity mistake: The jazzy opening credits show Magnum driving to meet his friend. However, footage in the city part towards the end show Magnum wearing a flower shirt instead of his blue polo, and earlier (Rober Loggia's credits) the person that steps on the gas is wearing jeans, while the first thing Magnum has to do when he arrives at the base is putting some pants on. (00:07:00)
Don't Eat the Snow in Hawaii - S1-E1
Continuity mistake: When Magnum's friend is dying by the fence, he clings to it; in the first shot, his hand is holding clean chainlinks, in the extreme close-up of his hands, his fingers are going through multiple vines entangled with the fence. (00:11:15)
Don't Eat the Snow in Hawaii - S1-E1
Continuity mistake: Magnum is at the airport waiting for Dan's family to disembark. When the airplane is landing, it has a large red stripe where the passenger windows are. But Alice gets off a plane with no such stripe. (00:18:50)
Don't Eat the Snow in Hawaii - S1-E1
Continuity mistake: When the drunk Alice Cook hugs Magnum at the airport, behind her, slightly out of focus, there's a man in a grey suit with a yellow shirt passing by. She staggers back, and a couple is passing; he wears a brown suit with a light blue shirt. The couple passes by again, same direction and origin point, when she has a giggling fit at "Are you my boyfriend?", and the man with yellow shirt follows just a second after. (00:20:20)
Don't Eat the Snow in Hawaii - S1-E1
Continuity mistake: Magnum is trying to get information from Ensign Healy. Throughout their conversation (in continuity and without breaks), they are in different parts of the pier at the various cuts. They go from 50 to 37 at the first cut, for instance, or when Healy says to Magnum he's "reaching", they are back at the beginning of the walk as you can tell by the boats. (00:29:30)
Don't Eat the Snow in Hawaii - S1-E1
Continuity mistake: In this pilot, Robin Masters' Ferrari does not have the famous vanity plate ROBIN-1 characteristic of the series. The license plate of the car is 56E-478 when first shown, but does not stay the same throughout the episode; when the two yo-yos chase him, the Ferrari's plate is the first one in the city, but 561-068 when they get near to the tunnel, and is back to 56E-478 when the bad guys destroy their (already banged up) car. (00:33:55)
Don't Eat the Snow in Hawaii - S1-E1
Continuity mistake: When Magnum drops the ring out of the envelope, nothing is near it as it's shaking. In the close up shot, it's next to keys. (00:44:20)
Don't Eat the Snow in Hawaii - S1-E1
Continuity mistake: After his bitter confrontation with Captain Cooly, Magnum waits for the ensign to head home. Light and timing imply it's sunset, but the scenes at the pier and the car chase happen in broad daylight.
