Magnum, P.I.

Jororo Farewell - S4-E11

Revealing mistake: The prince and TC's protege have a fight when the spoiled kid is eliminated. They are supposed to be angry and serious, and the teammates too have worried faces, but in the shot when TC tells him that he's out of the game, against any logic the young actors are caught laughing.

Jororo Farewell - S4-E11

Revealing mistake: When Danny runs away from the baseball field, the camera pans towards the left and stops while several people in the fictional Jororo army uniform storm the area on foot and jeep. But to the far left in the distance, you can spot a legit Hawaiian cop at the roadblock used to film freely in the street. (00:02:35)

Jororo Farewell - S4-E11

Revealing mistake: Danny runs away from the game, and is chased by army people on a jeep. The two cars (the jeep and another one parked there) have fictional license plates, supposedly from Jororo, since the opening caption specified "The Jororo Islands." However when the secret service guy and the coach have caught up with him, two cars in the supposed back alley of a normal Jororo suburb have Hawaii license plates - where the series was filmed.

Jororo Farewell - S4-E11

Revealing mistake: The prince runs away from the game and into the market, where army people on jeeps chase him. They crash goods, topple carts and all sort of destruction, but the extras in the market are actually having a great time and most of them just laugh while people with automatic weapons shove them aside and spill on the ground their stuff.

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!?
