Magnum, P.I.

A Sense of Debt - S4-E8

Revealing mistake: During the crash through the fence, the front of the Ferrari has a mockup in the front; the left direction indicator falls off outright, but it is just broken when TC and the new two passengers take off. (00:04:40)

A Sense of Debt - S4-E8

Revealing mistake: All the 'boxing' in the episode is unrealistic pure 80s Hollywood hot camp garbage, but the finishing blow of the final match in particular is miles off, bad even for the low standards of that sort of 'action'. (00:44:10)

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

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.

Almost Home - S3-E10

Magnum: I could appeal to his heart.
Lieutenant Maggie Poole: Yeah. And his stomach.
Magnum: Oh, come on! That food stuff, that was just an excuse. Listen, underneath that stomach was a heart as big as...that stomach.
