Italian Ice - S2-E15
Visible crew/equipment: After the Ferrari has been gauged, when Magnum and Margo arrive back at Robin's Nest in the Ferrari, the reflection of lighting and filming equipment are visible on the surface of the car. (00:24:35)
Italian Ice - S2-E15
Revealing mistake: The 'mysterious stalker' is looking at Magnum opening the door of Ferrari for Margo, through a camera lens. When later we see the photo developed, it does not match that angle at all. (00:24:20 - 00:32:40)
Italian Ice - S2-E15
Factual error: Magnum drives off in the night with the damsel in distress; a mafioso shoots at him with his 'lupara' double-barrel shotgun...3 times in rapid succession. (00:07:15)
Italian Ice - S2-E15
Factual error: The bad guy is called "Marchese di Como", the Marquis of Como, but as perhaps it is more known internationally now than in the 80s, Como is at the very North of Italy and nowhere near Sicily. The Marquis/Marchese's henchman is called "Segundo" (pronounced as such and written in the credits), but it's a Spanish name, not an Italian one.
Italian Ice - S2-E15
Factual error: When Magnum first approaches the Ferrari of the mobster, the front license plate is ZZG A 532. When he drives off, the back license plate can be seen, and it's 574572. Neither is a valid Italian license plate for the time period, it should also be noted. (00:02:35 - 00:07:10)
Italian Ice - S2-E15
Plot hole: Magnum leaves the estate on the Ferrari leaving Katrina behind. He joins Margo at the drama lesson. Somehow, Katrina manages to be there at the same time as he is - without really knowing where he is in fact going, and it is her first day in Hawaii - and scratches his car in a temper tantrum.
Italian Ice - S2-E15
Revealing mistake: Magnum finds the unpleasant surprise of a large scratch on Robin's Ferrari. In close-up he runs his hand along the "bloody gouge", as Higgins later calls it, but it's a badly constructed prop; look at the turn signal, tiny and circular, nothing like the larger rectangular one of the car. (00:23:40)
Italian Ice - S2-E15
Visible crew/equipment: Magnum drives his girlfriend back to the estate after they seemingly made peace. As the Ferrari stops and just before she opens the door, set lights are reflected in it. (00:24:45)
Italian Ice - S2-E15
Continuity mistake: When TC says "Okay, you're the boss!" to the mobsters in his chopper, the back seats are empty - he lost 2/3 of his passengers. (00:28:25)
Italian Ice - S2-E15
Revealing mistake: In the interior shots of the chopper approaching the estate, the sky is completely unmoving. In this scene gotta give props to Lenny Montana, the mature bodyguard, who not only has the best Italian accent in the episode, but also acts the heck out of the situation holding on to the grab handle and pulling and scooting with his big body (although they are not a train or a stagecoach, so they wouldn't really move like that). (00:27:30)
Italian Ice - S2-E15
Continuity mistake: Magnum shuns Katrina in her tennis uniform trying to plan his day ahead for him. He gets in the car, wearing his plain brown shirt and baseball hat. First shot as he drives to town, with the voiceover going "Other than being a bit presumptive..." etc, and the Magnum driving the Ferrari is hat-less and with a bright red Hawaiian shirt. Of course when he reaches the campus he's in the hat and brown shirt again. (00:19:35)
Italian Ice - S2-E15
Continuity mistake: When Magnum gets in the open theater, the natural light on the ramp is very different depending on the angle of shooting; it has a pronounced shadow of the parapet with strong sunlight, or nothing of the sort. (00:44:00)
Italian Ice - S2-E15
Other mistake: During the climactic scene at the acting class, the students are shown in several panning shots. If you go back to the first scene at the same location, when the students were walking away at the end of the lesson you can notice that every extra a day after wears the exact same clothes as they were the day before. (00:22:00 - 00:43:00)
Italian Ice - S2-E15
Continuity mistake: Katrina puts down the perfectly developed picture of Magnum and Margo by the car. There's nothing specific next to the spot of the counter where the photo goes, but in close-up there's a pair of scissors just handy for her to do her bunny boiler routine with. (00:32:35)
Italian Ice - S2-E15
Continuity mistake: Margos asks Magnum "Who's that?" seeing the chopper fly so low by the villa. Magnum is mostly off-frame but you can see his arm reach up to do the gesture he actually does only in the next shot - reach for his Detroit Tigers hat. (00:29:25)
Italian Ice - S2-E15
Revealing mistake: TC is flying his chopper to Robin Masters' residence, with the three Italian stooges aboard. The chopper's tail rotor is suddenly on the wrong side. (00:28:30)
Italian Ice - S2-E15
Continuity mistake: Magnum asks the (moderately) jealous Hawaiian about the scratch on his car. The guy says he didn't do it because it's "not nice." Margo is moving her hand from the bottom to the top of the stack she's holding, but it's back in place at the bottom in the next shot. (00:24:00)
Italian Ice - S2-E15
Continuity mistake: Magnum drops by at the acting seminar his disgruntled girlfriend is teaching. The books on the table appear in different positions under the different camera angles. (00:21:45)
Italian Ice - S2-E15
Continuity mistake: Magnum pilfers the car keys from the cars, but in the first close-up there's daytime light to the shot, nothing like the night setting of the rest of the scene. (00:02:30)
Italian Ice - S2-E15
Factual error: Marchese is calling for Maria the cook. The sentence he says to one of his henchmen is probably meant to be "I'll put her in a bodybag" in Italian, but the way he says it and mispronounces sounds like " I'll f*ck her in a sack." (00:06:00)
