Magnum, P.I.

Mad Buck Gibson - S2-E8

Continuity mistake: In the barroom brawl, Rick foolishly attacks the huge dude. He backhands him into oblivion, sending him falling back-first off frame. Rick crashes on the stools belly-first though, and the stools were at very short distance, not exactly room for him to turn another time and fall as shown. (00:22:55)

Mad Buck Gibson - S2-E8

Continuity mistake: Magnum stares wide eyed at Buck and his target practice in the bathtub. In the shot of the room, you can see in the head area of the target already a soot mark where the extra hole will open later - and there is no trace of it in the opening close-up. (00:14:55)

Wave Goodbye - S2-E7

Continuity mistake: TC elbows Rick protesting for the choice of cover-up name. Between them, the big boned waitress smiles and turns around with her tray. The bartender is on the phone with the dealer, and it cuts briefly to the duo waiting at the counter. The waitress is still there, turning and smiling. (00:20:10)

Wave Goodbye - S2-E7

Continuity mistake: During the scene at the Kamehameha Club when Magnum enlists Rick and TC's help, the same woman with a navy and white swimsuit with a white belt walks by the surf first, then behind Rick, with a different guy each time in the span of a few seconds. (00:17:10 - 00:18:00)

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!?
