Visible crew/equipment: During the flashback, while Magnum is on the longboard paddling five miles to the island, the chopper is flying over the open ocean when TC starts talking to himself about Magnum bucking for a section-8, and as the chopper's nose moves upward the reflection of set lighting, etc, can be seen on the windshield.

Magnum, P.I. (1980)
1 visible crew/equipment mistake in Home from the Sea
Starring: Tom Selleck, Roger E. Mosley, John Hillerman, Larry Manetti
Other mistake: With power out Magnum somehow lights the gas stove with the knob, which is electric. Should have used a match. (00:26:40)
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.
