Magnum, P.I. mistake picture

Limited Engagement - S4-E5

Continuity mistake: Magnum creates a Rodin-esque stack of beer cans. His store manager lambasts him, and when they are looking at his creation, it looks different already - the can he put on top as finishing touch is missing, immediately noticeable. (00:02:15)

Limited Engagement - S4-E5

Continuity mistake: Magnum escorted the two old ladies at the Fointanbleu Residence. The one in red, Madge, has her hand on Jeanie's arm when she says they were actresses, but she kept her hands to herself in the previous shot. (00:07:25)

Limited Engagement - S4-E5

Continuity mistake: After the garage fiasco, Magnum sits down with the ladies who patronize him. During the scene, the sunglasses retainers run to the inside or the outside of the shirt collar, depending on the camera angle. (00:13:05)

Limited Engagement - S4-E5

Continuity mistake: Magnum sits on the couch's arm, by one of the sisters who is holding Higgins' book in her lap. On her lap, under the book, there's the handkerchief she used when she was having tea. In the closer angle, there's no hankie, while Madge's is open wider. (00:18:20)

Letter to a Duchess - S4-E6

Continuity mistake: Higgins outside the British shop is stammering. He says "But I..." and a blonde with sunglasses and a hair clip quickly walks behind him - nobody was walking towards them from that direction in the establishing shot. When a wider angle is again presented, there she is; that woman is approaching from that same direction. (00:07:15)

Letter to a Duchess - S4-E6

Continuity mistake: Magnum asks Higgins "In the meantime, you're just gonna sit there sipping brandy, being terribly British?" Higgins answers "Yes!", cut to Magnum, hands crossed, then cut to Higgins finishing his glass, and then, all of a sudden and with the clock ticking all the way through in continuity, Magnum too is sitting there with a glass of brandy in hand. (00:31:35)

Letter to a Duchess - S4-E6

Continuity mistake: Magnum during the surf ski race wears two different hats; first we see his Tigers hat (white logo), but then he has the yellow logo Da Nang hat - which he lost in the ocean during the season opener when the two "turkeys" capsized his craft. (00:42:00)

Squeeze Play - S4-E7

Continuity mistake: During the poker game at the beginning, the positions of Robin and Buzz's cards change a few times - Buzz unveils his winning 4 Ks to the left of the deck, but it is to its right immediately after, and Robin's cards are on or a bit away from the table's border. (00:02:30)

Squeeze Play - S4-E7

Continuity mistake: The sweat on Lola's shirt during practice goes in her cleavage at different depth; best time to notice when TC apologizes for saying "you pitch like a girl" to Rick, and then Magnum calls her to be the batter. (00:10:25)

Sammo

Squeeze Play - S4-E7

Continuity mistake: When "Wallace McNurty" mentions the "lunchtime drinking" the two workers in front of him are increasingly distant from each other at the cut, and the bearded one has his hands on hips and not down his sides. (00:18:10)

Sammo

Squeeze Play - S4-E7

Continuity mistake: Lola decks Jerome on the field; he goes down with his arm bent up (glove above his cap), but it's at his hip when she is on him providing loving care. (00:28:30)

Almost Home - S3-E10

Magnum: I could appeal to his heart.
Lieutenant Maggie Poole: Yeah. And his stomach.
Magnum: Oh, come on! That food stuff, that was just an excuse. Listen, underneath that stomach was a heart as big as...that stomach.
