Missing in Action - S1-E9

Continuity mistake: For the final confrontation with the rogue Delta agent, Magnum moves from the van where he (foolishly) left unguarded the bad guy with the damsel taking cover behind one cable drum, to another. He looks back in a close-up as he clings to the drum, and the van is far in the distance behind another drum. He then looks forward, towards the tower where the agent Tobin is hiding, and decides to move. Only, we see that his sortie is beginning from the large spool the van is parked next to. (00:42:50)

Missing in Action - S1-E9

Continuity mistake: Magnum runs away from Tobin's fire, ducking by a large piece of construction equipment. In the closer shot that follows, that element casts a large shadow Magnum repairs in, and that was nowhere to be seen earlier. (00:43:20)

Missing in Action - S1-E9

Revealing mistake: Right after Newton drags his girlfriend to the ground and before Magnum spots him and takes aim, Eric walks at the top of the barge...but it's not the Eric we see then in close-up; it's a burlier guy dressed the same.

Almost Home - S3-E10

Magnum: I could appeal to his heart.
Lieutenant Maggie Poole: Yeah. And his stomach.
Magnum: Oh, come on! That food stuff, that was just an excuse. Listen, underneath that stomach was a heart as big as...that stomach.
