A Sense of Debt - S4-E8

Revealing mistake: The shot of the Ferrari during the directorial credits (filmed from a car in front) does not feature Roger E. Mosley behind the wheel; you can see a bit of longer hair sticking from the top. (00:04:30)

A Sense of Debt - S4-E8

Continuity mistake: TC spots in a close-up the Marines tattoo of the guy he injured. The position of the daughter's hand (she has her fingers in the rolled sleeve) and body (she's tightly close) in that close-up is different than in the other views. (00:04:55)

A Sense of Debt - S4-E8

Revealing mistake: TC's accident with the hog pen is shot in (at least) two takes, one with the stuntman dodging the car inside an otherwise empty pen, and the establishing shot with the animals when the car is still not so close - and then when the car has stopped at the end and there's no danger for the pigs.

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!?
