Continuity mistake: Once Higgins sends away Zeus and Apollo, Magnum looks down briefly at his own feet, which are one in front of the other. A close-up on Higgins happens then, and then another on Magnum, who only then is looking down at his feet and realizing he's standing on the prized soil, and in the following close-up steps away from it, having both feet together at the same level. (00:16:00)
Continuity mistake: During Earl's story about the dead sumo wrestler, Ernst Borgnine and Tom Selleck's hands have inconsistent positions between cuts. Magnum's hands hold the chopsticks at or well below the table level, and White Death's hand is closed first, then open. (00:09:20)
Continuity mistake: Magnum chirps "Hey, we can talk about this!" as a guy grabs him from behind and Rick is on the ground holding a hand on his cheek. But in the close-up, Larry Manetti's hand is noticeably lower on the jaw. (00:06:20)
Continuity mistake: The first time we see Mr. White Death in the ring, he gets pushed into the corner by his opponent but he shoulder-tackles him to the ground. So when Rick talks to Harry, makes sense that both wrestlers are rolling on the canvas. Less sense though that after they cut to footage of the two wrestlers trading blow standing, Rick and Harry are still talking with the two big guys downed and tumbling around. (00:04:40)
Continuity mistake: At the end of the episode, TC receives the bags and basket from Higgins' ladies; in the transition across the "Evelyn gets a teensy bit airsick." line, the two women behind Agatha have different hand positions - in particular the one with the maroon dress is adjusting her cleavage in the first shot, but has both hands supporting the camera in the next. The position of the bag and goggles on Agatha's arm change too, noticeably as the bag'strap is off/on the sleeve all of a sudden. (00:45:25)
Continuity mistake: When Higgins asks TC "Was I wrong to assume" at the end of the episode, TC's right arm is lowered, while it should be raised enough for him to keep his hand on the chopper door. (00:44:25)
Continuity mistake: Magnum, defeated, receives the racket from TC and makes his way to the court. In the scene in the locker room, his injured finger was not taped. When he talks to his insidious double partner before the match, the index is fully taped. (00:35:00)
Continuity mistake: When an annoyed Magnum tells TC in the locker room "Well then you can play!", the coach, mentor and potential killer is holding the racket turned towards a different direction (by the flat or by the side). (00:34:05)
Continuity mistake: Magnum suggests Carrie to quit; she tells him it's not that easy. Obvious discontinuity in the hair position at the transition between the two shots; big curtain of hair draped around the shoulder, clears itself back in the second. It happens again, and it is again self-evident even later when Higgins barges in and there's an overhead shot from his position. (00:30:00)
Continuity mistake: Seeing Higgins in the audience, TC dismounts from his big boy chair and prepares to storm across the court, pencil on the ear and clipboard in his right hand. To the other end of the net, the pencil is at a different angle and the clipboard jumps to the left hand. (00:19:40)
Continuity mistake: When Rick collides with his double partner, the wind is still. Close-up on both of them as romance sparks, and the wind is blowing heavily. (00:16:35)
Continuity mistake: Discussing the hanged figurine in Higgins' study, Magnum is holding the string very close to the noose in the close-up, but definitely at large distance in the wider angles. (00:12:00)
Continuity mistake: Magnum is introduced to the capricious Carrie Reardon. She says that she hopes he's better than the last babysitter they gave her. Behind her, you can spot some tennis balls between courts. Kenny Phelps chases her, and the court is all clear. (00:09:35)
Continuity mistake: Carrie is having a hissy fit because she believes that Ginger tries to put strain on her ankle. The towel on her shoulder is folded differently in the different angles. (00:09:10)
Continuity mistake: Rick guesses the player Higgins managed to go against, "Tappy" Larsen. As he says the name, he puts the racket hand on the net and the ball hand behind it. Next shot and both are on it. Similar mistakes happens at the end of the reminiscing part of the convo, with Rick again suddenly changing position (hand on the racket all of a sudden) between shots. (00:04:35)
Continuity mistake: When Higgins makes his way towards the net and we get the wide shot of the court, there are obvious shadows from the foliage all over the playing space, which is totally sunlit in the other angles. (00:03:35)
Foiled Again - S3-E7
Continuity mistake: When the contestants are announced (in a thick French accent), it is said that Higgins fences from the right position. Rick later states, accusing Higgins, that "A lot of people heard Higgins ask for the right side." When the odious rival shows up, he says "You asked for the left position?" to which Higgins nods. (00:11:50 - 00:13:00)
Foiled Again - S3-E7
Continuity mistake: When Magnum confronts the real culprit, in the couple of POV shots they are not wearing the gloves they have in the rest of the fight. (00:43:40)
Foiled Again - S3-E7
Continuity mistake: After hearing from Magnum about Velma Troubshaw's conversation with the DA, Higgins shows up at her mansion and knocks at the door. The shadows of the foliage (and the shadow of John Hillerman himself) change noticeably at the cut. (00:37:00)
Foiled Again - S3-E7
Continuity mistake: Magnum visits Assistant District Attorney Carol Baldwin who is having her lunch break outside. She has a paper towel around the yogurt container she's eating from, but when the camera is to her left the napkin reaches the rim of the container, whenever the camera is to her right it's an inch lower. (00:21:45)
