Revealing mistake: The security guy is checking Magnum as he appraises the cutlery and waits with his client for the rich man. And at the top of the frame of the security camera feed...the security camera that is supposedly filming. (00:14:40)
Continuity mistake: The chauffeur gets a phone call while Magnum and his client is in the elevator. In wide shot he's holding the wheel with the hand at the top, but he's waiting with the hand on 9 o' clock in the closer view, and back on top as it switches to the same angle as before. (00:13:20)
Continuity mistake: The guy on top of the building passes TC an envelope with his fee. The envelop is facing a different direction between shots - it opens with the flap towards him in the first one, towards TC in the next. (00:02:40)
Revealing mistake: When Higgins rolls over the man that got shot in the struggle, the 'dead' person raises his evidently not-so-dead-yet right leg to avoid rolling back to the side. (00:25:00)
Revealing mistake: At the beginning of the episode, Magnum hangs up the phone and runs out of the guest house to heed Higgins' call and find the lawn swarming with ballerinas. As he comes out of the door, you can get a glimpse of the actual interior, which does not match the set used throughout the series. (00:06:00)
Continuity mistake: A very sweaty Kendall is about to tell Magnum about the correspondent. She goes to the barre to fetch her robe; the robe is folded over it in a different position compared to how it looked in the previous part of the scene; the sleeves hang down by a completely different length. (00:30:55)
Revealing mistake: Characteristic set lights are reflected on the car windows when Kendall drives off in the last minutes of the episode. (00:46:15)
Continuity mistake: At the end of the episode, Kendall gets in the car. Left hand on top of the steering wheel, she lowers the hand, and...it's back on top of the wheel in the next shot. (00:46:15)
Continuity mistake: Magnum carries off stage the ballerina while the two CIA agents look at him. The white haired one has his hands on his pockets, but the jacket is closed in one shot and unbuttoned in the next. (00:44:30)
Continuity mistake: When Magnum moves over her to console her after the brutal handling of the Ruskies, Kendall is lying on her side with the left knee touching the floor at first, then raised. (00:44:00)
Continuity mistake: Magnum is listening to the story about the correspondent, leaning over the piano. Depending on the camera angle he has crossed arms, or both forward with the hands joined. (00:31:45)
Continuity mistake: Magnum is back to the ballet rehearsal after his bribing routine with Mac. Kendall uses the line "I really appreciate everything you did last night" and you can spot she is touching the side of her head with her hand. Close-up and the hand is gone. (00:30:35)
Audio problem: In jail, the phrase Magnum mutters under his breath, "Like a spook", is dubbed in with a second of delay on Tom Selleck's lip movements. (00:26:00)
Revealing mistake: The romantic wrestling after dinner scene is shot day-for-night, with unnatural brightness and very pronounced shadows. (00:23:20)
Continuity mistake: In the forceful kiss scene on the lawn, Andrea Marcovicci's hand changes position (on the grass/on Magnum's shoulder) between shots. (00:21:25)
Continuity mistake: When Magnum looks at the client Rick is forcing upon him, the man at the table behind her changes position at the cut, and and people on the beach just disappear. (00:16:20)
Continuity mistake: Magnum is telling Kendall while she is torturing some ballet shoes "You have to stick by me." Between shots, she's holding the ballerina turned in the opposite direction. (00:12:55)
The Taking of Dick McWilliams - S2-E9
Continuity mistake: Magnum and TC found the shack and are getting inside. In the interior shot, the curtains that kept flapping in the wind in the exterior shot are practically still, and the sublinds are absent/pulled up from the side wall. (00:39:00)
The Taking of Dick McWilliams - S2-E9
Continuity mistake: Magnum asks Gloria about her car mentioning it's a "1974 blue Sedan, AFF 444." The license plate was different (BBR 877) and a different model - it's blue, that's just about it.
The Taking of Dick McWilliams - S2-E9
Character mistake: Rick describes to his buddies the kidnapper's car as "a yellow Bronco." It's a jeep and it's orange/brown with a white roof. The description is so off that it's a miracle they found it to begin with. (00:16:10)
