The Curse of the King Kamehameha Club - S1-E11

Audio problem: Norman approaches Magnum after the race; his voice is dubbed in, not matching the mouth - and a girl in the background in the first shot takes ages to appear in the second one. (00:47:25)

The Curse of the King Kamehameha Club - S1-E11

Audio problem: In the last part of the final conversation between Magnum and Charlie, background noise comes and goes away depending on the camera angle. (00:48:20)

Sammo ★

Thicker Than Blood - S1-E12

Audio problem: When Magnum is pushed against the metal shelves by TC, a big clunking sound is dubbed in, but you can see that the shelves and their content are not wobbled in the slightest and Tom Selleck jumped himself against them using his hands to impact in perfect safety. (00:36:40)

J.'Digger' Doyle - S1-E17

Audio problem: Magnum screams "SHUT UP!" to Higgins, but actually when John Hillerman is on his back during the mountain climb and mentions Lord Mountbatten, his lips are not moving. (00:38:40)

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)
