The Look - S4-E9

Continuity mistake: The bet between Rick and Magnum is on; TC asks though "You trust HIM?" The gold chain is inside his tank, but it was outside a moment before. (00:06:25)

The Look - S4-E9

Continuity mistake: When Holly says "I'm the morning edition" in her first meeting with Magnum, the cup's handle is in her right hand at the cut, while it was in her left in the previous shot. (00:13:05)

The Look - S4-E9

Continuity mistake: Magnum is about to leave after the slightly awkward introduction to Holly Fox, but she calls him back saying "Maybe there *is* something you could help me with." He sticks his head back into the room, and you can see the glasses' left arm is above the shirt collar. Next shot and it went underneath. (00:13:40)

The Look - S4-E9

Continuity mistake: Magnum hands Higgins the bag with the succotash and other goods; the rolled top of it faces opposite directions between shots. (00:16:35)

The Look - S4-E9

Continuity mistake: After the surprise unmasking (or unhelmeting) of the wheeled assailant, Holly Hudson in the background lowers her hands, which are still on her face in the close-up that follows. (00:23:50)

The Look - S4-E9

Continuity mistake: The chopper takes off from Higgie's un-birthday party, looking as usual. It flies over a shore to thwart Holly's plan, and doing so it has the flotation skids from a different chopper's stock footage. It is therefore also missing the birthday banner, that is present again in the finale. (00:45:10)

Mistakes

The Big Blow - S3-E21

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)

Quotes

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!? (00:05:25)
