Magnum, P.I.

Three Minus Two - S2-E21

Other mistake: A plastic bag with a wallet and a watch, placed right next to a claymore mine when it explodes with a whole car, would hardly stay perfectly intact, and completely untouched by the police when they already towed the car to the impound lot.

Three Minus Two - S2-E21

Other mistake: Magnum spots a patrol car inside the impound lot. He and TC duck down, and they are at the side of the car. The same side the camera is at, when it gives us a view of the patrol car passing by. It's plain daylight, and they officers have to be completely blind to Miss those two big dudes lying by the side of the car in a spot they have a clean eyesight on. (00:36:20)

Three Minus Two - S2-E21

Other mistake: This episode is the season 2 finale, but was obviously produced early, with numerous shots from it appearing in the opening. A big deal is made out of Magnum borrowing "the Rolls Royce of cameras", but he has used routinely the camera throughout the season. Higgins even asks him if he needs instructions about the various lenses, when one of the previous episodes involved as sub-plot replacing one of the priciest ones, and the feature-length episode had a bit about it as well.

Of Sound Mind - S3-E12

Higgins: How fiendishly deceptive of you, Magnum. I could have sworn I was hearing the emasculation of a large rodent. To my great surprise, I see the sounds are emanating from what I thought was a harmless musical instrument.
Magnum: Cute Higgins, real cute.
Higgins: Why Magnum? Why do this terrible thing?
Magnum: Higgins, I'll have you know I used to be very good. I was the second best sax player in my High School band!
Higgins: Well, how many sax players were there?!
Magnum: ...Anyway. I just saw this in a pawn shop window and thought I'd like to try and get my chops back.
Higgins: May I suggest that your "chops" are irretrievable.
Magnum: Higgins, did you come here just to abuse me!?
