The Ugliest Dog in Hawaii - S1-E8
Continuity mistake: Shawn Hoskins is waiting at the gas station when she is approached by one mafioso posing as a 5-0 agent. In the establishing shot her hair is in front of both shoulders, but closer angles feature her with her left shoulder clear of any hair. (00:20:25)
The Ugliest Dog in Hawaii - S1-E8
Revealing mistake: Magnum punches the baddies who tried to dogjack them at the gas station. Old Mr. DiGorgio drives the car and picks them up. Not so old, actually, because Michael V. Gazzo is substituted at the wheel by a younger and leaner stuntman with a fake stache. (00:21:35)
The Ugliest Dog in Hawaii - S1-E8
Continuity mistake: Higgins holds Sir Algernon Farnsworth's radiograph with his left hand in close-up, right hand when the view changes. (00:12:30)
The Ugliest Dog in Hawaii - S1-E8
Other mistake: During the short action sequence with Magnum scaring off Steve and Mitch before collapsing, the lights go off for unexplained reasons; Mitch already ran off and past the guard, so he couldn't have switched them off, and in the fight nobody knocks lights down or bumps into switches. That aside, there's also an odd timing on the noise of the syringe falling, since neither Magnum or Steve appear to hold it in hand and Magnum punched free earlier. (00:12:10)
The Ugliest Dog in Hawaii - S1-E8
Continuity mistake: The syringe that rolls on the floor in close-up is different from the one Steve uses to stab Magnum in the neck; it's thicker and with a different tip. (00:12:05)
The Ugliest Dog in Hawaii - S1-E8
Visible crew/equipment: In the fight the kennel, to the right of the screen before Magnum gets stabbed with the tranquilizer you can see someone inside the animal cage, perhaps the dog handler keeping him calm while the main cage doors are open. (00:12:00)
The Ugliest Dog in Hawaii - S1-E8
Continuity mistake: Magnum shows up in front of Evans, the security guard, with his phony ID. The man has both hands on the clipboard in one shot, just one in the next. (00:10:20)
The Ugliest Dog in Hawaii - S1-E8
Continuity mistake: Steve is typing away while DiGorgio disses him for failing to snag the pooch. When he says "You need somebody to tell you somethin' ", Steve's closed fist moves from the keys to the top of the typewriter. (00:10:20)
The Ugliest Dog in Hawaii - S1-E8
Continuity mistake: When the goons come back to the car after losing Sir Algernon Farnsworth, the same extras from earlier are walking back and forth by the car (black shirt guy, blonde guy with khaki jacket, etc). (00:05:40)
The Ugliest Dog in Hawaii - S1-E8
Continuity mistake: When Pier Guard Bear talks to DiGorgio through the car window, plenty people are getting lei'd in the door reflection, not matched by the reverse and wider shots. (00:03:30)
The Ugliest Dog in Hawaii - S1-E8
Revealing mistake: The moment Mitch and the other goon walk away leaving Victor DiGorgio in the car, you can spot in the background Michael Hasegawa in his private cop uniform waiting for his cue to enter stage, and just pretend to randomly notice the parking violation. (00:03:10)
The Ugliest Dog in Hawaii - S1-E8
Continuity mistake: At the beginning of the episode, the mobster park illegally on the yellow zone. During the hijinks that ensue, the extras' movements don't transition from one shot to the next. You can see it right at the first cut; conspicuous extras such as one holding a red bag, or a girl in an ethnic skirt selling leis, appear all of a sudden. Plus, there's a big amount of recycling with the extras - there's a guy in Hawaiian blue shirt carrying a suitcase that keeps walking by Victor DiGorgio. (00:02:40)
Never Again... Never Again - S1-E7
Continuity mistake: When Rick and Magnum figure out what really happened with the whole nazi business, the telephone spiral cord keeps going back and forth between shots. (00:39:45)
Never Again... Never Again - S1-E7
Continuity mistake: When Rick examines the old photo, he's holding it high, directly under the lamp, in the wide angle. In close-up he has it hovering merely an inch above the table. (00:39:40)
Never Again... Never Again - S1-E7
Audio problem: In the episode montage that precedes the opening theme, Rick does his fake sushi delivery man schtick ringing the doorbell. The sound of the doorbell there is a buzzing sound different from the one used later in the actual episode. Which also is a single neat two-tone sound, in contrast with Larry Manetti pressing the button multiple times. (00:00:30 - 00:37:40)
Never Again... Never Again - S1-E7
Audio problem: The first time Magnum goes to the Honolulu hospital, the first sound in the building consists of an announcement; "Janet Clark, please report to Maternity, Janet Clark." The announcement is repeated throughout the scene Magnum is in the doctor's office at night, just as he switches off the lamp on top of the filing cabinet (by the life preserver), Janet Clark is paged in maternity again. (00:12:25 - 00:34:15)
Never Again... Never Again - S1-E7
Continuity mistake: After the cliffhanger with Higgins pointing his gun at someone and seemingly unaware that that someone has a backup, it's time to show Magnum again that is rushing back home saying in voiceover how worried he is. Slightly undermining the severity of the predicament is the fact that in that particular shot and just there, he's driving with no pants on. (00:28:50)
Never Again... Never Again - S1-E7
Audio problem: During the climax with Lena on the boat defending their action, from "They have no right to hunt us like animals" onwards the parts of dialogue with Hanna Landy are dubbed later and with a very inconsistent audio level. (00:45:40)
Never Again... Never Again - S1-E7
Continuity mistake: Rick and Magnum spot the ambulance carrying someone away from Saul's home, and so they run out of the car to check what happened. Rick does not shut the car door, they go then straight into the Greenbergs' house, but when they come out, the Ferrari has both doors closed. (00:10:45 - 00:11:50)
Never Again... Never Again - S1-E7
Revealing mistake: Magnum catches the boat that already sailed away through a great feat, leaping from the pier. The editing trick is fairly obvious; the stuntman's leap is not quite reaching, headed to a platform we can spot at the bottom. But it cuts then to Tom Selleck who with a true airwalking prodigy connects right with the top of the railing, pulling himself aboard. (00:43:25)
