Other mistake: Magnum lights up a signal fire for TC. It is supposed then to raise significant smoke (which Rick spots) in a short time, but when we see the fire, it's not generating visible smoke. Moreover, Magnum uses fuel to light it up, but they are supposedly out of gas and had to paddle for a long while before getting to the island, so it's odd that they'd suddenly have spare fuel for that predicament the day after.

Trivia: At the awards ceremony, three men seated at a table together resemble three detectives from 1970s TV shows. Detective Mike Stone (played by Karl Malden) from ABC's Streets of San Francisco; Detective Frank Columbo (played by Peter Falk) from NBC's Columbo; and Detective Theo Kojak (played by Telly Savalas) from CBS's Kojak.
