Billy Joe Bob - S2-E1

Revealing mistake: In the photo Billy Joe shows Magnum, his sister's image appears superimposed on a background - which is also quite unlikely from anyone near Shamrock, TX, and more like a lush Hawaiian scenery. (00:04:30)

Billy Joe Bob - S2-E1

Revealing mistake: After wiring TC's chopper, Billy Joe Bob puts the headset on and looks behind him. When he turns his head to look, you can see that on the right pad there's something handwritten with an ink marker on it; "D. JONES." Makes no sense on TC's chopper, but much more sense when you know that the aerial coordinator and helicopter pilot for this season of the show is named in fact J. David Jones. (00:40:45)

Billy Joe Bob - S2-E1

Revealing mistake: When Billy Joe Bob downs the 3 Japanese goons hitting them with the skid of the chopper, only two (at most) are hit and on the chest, the other (again, at most) gets the impact of the other two knocked against him, and all of them land on soft grass. Yet of course they are unconscious and KTFO for good. (00:43:30)
