Magnum, P.I.

Wave Goodbye - S2-E7

Continuity mistake: When Kacy emerges from the waves at the beginning of the episode, she is carrying on the beach a board with a red lightning bolt artwork. Both sides of the board were visible when she was surfing in the previous sequence, and the pattern matches neither. (00:01:45)

Wave Goodbye - S2-E7

Continuity mistake: When the girl in red gives back the towel to the kid with a "Thank you", the woman sitting in the sand in the background goes from both arms behind her, to her hand in her hair. (00:02:50)

Wave Goodbye - S2-E7

Continuity mistake: The tied shirt at the neck of the blonde kid at the beginning of the episode changes position in between shots, in particular when he watches the girl leave. (00:02:55)

Wave Goodbye - S2-E7

Continuity mistake: The bearded guy sits with Kacy at the surfer's bar; in the first shot with him seated, the cigarette has a noticeable rather long patch of ash, which in the rest of the scene is much shorter - with the cigarette being of the same length, too. (00:03:55)

Wave Goodbye - S2-E7

Continuity mistake: When Kacy is kissing Beardy McBeardo on the beach, her hand goes from under his arm to above it when he makes the gesture in both shots to toss her shoes in the sand. (00:04:45)

Wave Goodbye - S2-E7

Continuity mistake: Magnum is lying on the grass with his towel before Higgins and the lads arrive. The light is different in the two main angles used, and the towel is also placed differently, as you can tell by the position of the tag, closer to his elbow, or further away. (00:05:20)

Wave Goodbye - S2-E7

Continuity mistake: In the scene with Magnum approaching the two cops on the murder scene, the light difference between Selleck's close-ups (casting a marked shadow on his chest) and the rest, is quite striking. (00:08:30)

Wave Goodbye - S2-E7

Continuity mistake: Gary Something enters his own home on the beach and Magnum is on all fours with the two cops pointing the guns. The older one is holding the gun with just his right hand, but he is handling it with both in the next shot. (00:13:50)

Wave Goodbye - S2-E7

Continuity mistake: During the scene at the Kamehameha Club when Magnum enlists Rick and TC's help, the same woman with a navy and white swimsuit with a white belt walks by the surf first, then behind Rick, with a different guy each time in the span of a few seconds. (00:17:10 - 00:18:00)

Wave Goodbye - S2-E7

Continuity mistake: TC elbows Rick protesting for the choice of cover-up name. Between them, the big boned waitress smiles and turns around with her tray. The bartender is on the phone with the dealer, and it cuts briefly to the duo waiting at the counter. The waitress is still there, turning and smiling. (00:20:10)

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.
