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)
The Taking of Dick McWilliams - S2-E9
Revealing mistake: In the close-ups during the fight with Mr. Nishimoto, Tom Selleck is giggling and having a good time while an old army buddy of his just died and he supposedly fights to save his widow from spilling her guts on the floor. (00:45:20)
The Taking of Dick McWilliams - S2-E9
Revealing mistake: As Mitsu's dad begins to do all sort of crazy karate roundhouse stuff, Tom Selleck transforms into his stunt double to better face the menace. You can see his face distinctly when he dodges. (00:45:20)
The Taking of Dick McWilliams - S2-E9
Factual error: Mitsu comes from a strict family of Japanese heritage who stay true to the culture, donning the oriental garb and unequivocally showing that she follows the tradition, but she does not even know how to pronounce "Arigato" correctly. (00:43:00)
The Taking of Dick McWilliams - S2-E9
Continuity mistake: Magnum asks Kaholo who knew about the island. At the cut, the hand with the money changes position, considerably higher. (00:42:15)
The Taking of Dick McWilliams - S2-E9
Continuity mistake: TC has Kaholo pinned against the building after his attempt to escape. His hand is above or under the window frame depending on the camera angle. (00:41:45)
The Taking of Dick McWilliams - S2-E9
Revealing mistake: During the various scenes in flight, TC's shades reflect a still landscape with hills even when he makes wild maneuvers or flies over the ocean.
The Taking of Dick McWilliams - S2-E9
Continuity mistake: Magnum and TC are doing recon on the thirteen islands; the chopper has flotation pads on the skids when it flies over the ocean and approaches the islands in panoramic views, but the normal slim skids when they finally find the hideout and land by it. (00:39:30)
The Taking of Dick McWilliams - S2-E9
Other mistake: Magnum asks the drunk woman about her car, and tells her that it was seen "today at twelve noon." Two scenes later, Kaholo tells Dick that someone visited Gloria "today" asking her who was driving the car "yesterday." (00:24:50)
