Continuity mistake: Magnum joins TC and Rick that are playing poker with a mysterious blonde. As he gets through the door, the towel around his neck has the left side pulled very much up, above the level of the 44 symbol on the tanktop. The towel drops lower (more balanced) in other shots, going back and forth between the two levels. (00:04:00)
Continuity mistake: Rick looks at Magnum funny when Jeannie Lowry says he'd look devilishly handsome in a tux. He has cards in hand, but the next shot starts with no cards anywhere near (TC is just then shuffling the deck), and more discontinuities happen during the convo later. (00:04:30)
Continuity mistake: In the close-ups of Jeannie's hand with the face-down card dealt by Mr. Matt Thompson, you can spot to the left of the cards her handbag, which is way far away in the shots of the table. (00:10:30)
Continuity mistake: Magnum is catching his breath while the guy who was having the better of him has to stop being held at gunpoint. He is touching the guy's arm in the first shot, but has his hand on the armrest of the chair in the next. (00:17:05)
Continuity mistake: When Magnum and JL escape from Thompson's yacht, Magnum's black dress shoes become flat rubber bottomed shoes when the duo climb the rocky hills. Later, when he hears the chopper he puts on the dress shoes, then it reverts back to the other shoes again. (00:24:15 - 00:33:35)
Continuity mistake: When a drunk Rick flops on the couch, his belly has a big wet patch, but the shirt was fine when he poked Higgins with his finger disputing the command of the operation. (00:28:15)
Continuity mistake: When Magnum tackles the 'commando' from behind coming off the wall, the elder guy with the white beret is holding both hands on the right armrest of the chair. New shot and he has just a hand on the other one. (00:03:25)
Continuity mistake: Inside the study, Higgins is having Zeus and Apollo bite the dog handler. In the background, William B. Knox stands behind the armchair with his right hand over the left. The hands have instantly traded places in the next shot. (00:04:40)
Continuity mistake: The lads greet Magnum growling at him. They pass by a table with a flower centerpiece on it. A minute later, the producer gives him the thumbs up as he walks out, saying "Welcome aboard"; the table gets back in frame, and now the flowers are gone and all there's left is a decorative plate. (00:05:15 - 00:06:55)
Continuity mistake: Magnum and Rick by the wall are looking at Jack Martin going back to his trailer. They are on a spot in the sun and have plenty rays on them, but in the rest of their exchange with a very bored TC they all are in the shadow. (00:13:00)
Continuity mistake: Higgins introduces Lt. Tanaka with a hand gesture in close-up he showed no sign of doing in the previous shot - in fact he had that hand down, planted on the desk. (00:16:45)
Continuity mistake: Searching the trailer, Magnum tells his friends the suicide theory. Rick in close-up is holding the flashlight in the same left hand he is leaning against the drawers with, but it is in his right hand at the cut. (00:38:50)
Continuity mistake: By the deathbed of her husband, Olivia Ross asks, startled by Magnum "What are you doing here?" Her right arm position changes (along the railing or not) depending on the camera angle. (00:45:35)
Continuity mistake: The director, Myrt Callahan, is talking to the producer while Higgins is on the phone with Robin Masters. Knox says that people can grieve and work at the same time, and she has both arms forward, but in the background when the camera focus is on Higgins we see her right hand on her waist.
Continuity mistake: Magnum drives the Ferrari to the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific with the sky being overcast. That's just the establishing shot though, because the sky is blue and the sun brightly shines in the rest of the scene. (00:07:45)
Continuity mistake: Magnum meets his new client. He asks "Have we met somewhere?", with his fingertips touching. "We were briefed together once, at Da Nang" the client replies, while Magnum lowers his hands and puts them on his hips. New shot, and he is again in the previous position, with the fingers touching. Similarly, the client mistakenly has his arms crossed a couple Transitions later when he says the two teams never hooked up. (00:08:30)
Continuity mistake: Taylor asks Magnum if anything happened to Linda. Magnum says "No!" twice; in the first shot his left arm is on top of the back of the couch, in the next one it's slumped into one of the pillows. (00:15:20)
Continuity mistake: Tailing Cam Chung with his Ferrari, Magnum does not have to go too far, seemingly, since he keeps meeting the same people over and over. A guy with a red T-shirt under a plaid shirt, a woman with a purple dress, one man with a blue tee and a single horizontal stripe, a man sporting a 'stache and wearing jeans and a pale blue Hawaiian shirt, etc. (00:21:00)
Continuity mistake: When Ed Kanfer's widow tells Taylor "But he's gone", her hands are not on his shoulders, where they appear in the next shot. (00:32:10)
Continuity mistake: There's obvious recycled footage to pad the episode during the approach of the chopper to the "fishing spot"; they take off with a chopper with normal skids and no doors, but the one flying over the ocean has flotation pads and its doors in place. The pilot is also wearing beige flare pants and not TC's jeans. The same mistake happens when he flies Magnum over, same recycled footage. (00:35:45)
