Starring: Tom Selleck, Roger E. Mosley, John Hillerman, Larry Manetti
Factual error: The villain holds Magnum at gunpoint with a weapon with a silencer. Which is useless, the gun being a revolver. (00:41:20)
Factual error: Richard Johnson appears in the end credits as "Brigadier General Alistair Ffolkes, Royal Army", and is consistently referred to that way by Higgins and Hooker. The rank was abolished in 1921, the Royal Army would have him as as a Brigadier or a higher rank.
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)
Higgins: How fiendishly deceptive of you, Magnum. I could have sworn I was hearing the emasculation of a large rodent. To my great surprise, I see the sounds are emanating from what I thought was a harmless musical instrument.
Magnum: Cute Higgins, real cute.
Higgins: Why Magnum? Why do this terrible thing?
Magnum: Higgins, I'll have you know I used to be very good. I was the second best sax player in my High School band!
Higgins: Well, how many sax players were there?!
Magnum: ...Anyway. I just saw this in a pawn shop window and thought I'd like to try and get my chops back.
Higgins: May I suggest that your "chops" are irretrievable.
Magnum: Higgins, did you come here just to abuse me!? (00:05:25)
