The Case of the Red-Faced Thespian - S4-E12
Continuity mistake: Trying to exterminate the mongooses with extreme prejudice, Higgins lights up the bombs twice in two separate shots. (00:03:35)
The Case of the Red-Faced Thespian - S4-E12
Continuity mistake: Archer Hayes shows Magnum the invite with the wrong time. He hands it with his right, which turns into the left in the reverse shot. (00:07:40)
The Case of the Red-Faced Thespian - S4-E12
Continuity mistake: When Magnum asks Hayes what's the secretary doing at the estate and not in Greece, he has both hands on the card. Next shot and, like in previous ones by the same angle, his right hand is on the piano. (00:07:55)
The Case of the Red-Faced Thespian - S4-E12
Continuity mistake: Magnum just met the Athertons. The secretary asks him to speak in private, and Mrs. Atherton gives him a knowing look. She holds her foulard in hand differently between the two shots. (00:09:10)
The Case of the Red-Faced Thespian - S4-E12
Continuity mistake: The close-up of Robin's door with the "WRITING" sign on the handle features a shadow completely different from the one Magnum's body casts in the previous and following shot. (00:09:45)
The Case of the Red-Faced Thespian - S4-E12
Continuity mistake: Inez Stuart signs up the program for TC; a program that is rolled up, opened, closed, rolled up again. (00:17:40)
The Case of the Red-Faced Thespian - S4-E12
Continuity mistake: Lady Cynthia Warrington-Stout gets up with Rick after the swim. She has her towel and shoes in her left hand, which becomes the right when Archer Hayes is spying on them. (00:21:00)
The Case of the Red-Faced Thespian - S4-E12
Continuity mistake: In the midst of the 'murder investigation', Magnum decides to just chill and watch a movie. He sits on the couch reciting the lines off the top of his head and with a falsetto. Notice that at the left edge of the frame there's a book popping in, roughly positioned between two pillows. You see the book again in the reaction overhead shot when TC calls Magnum to help out of the predicament Higgins is in, but it's more to the left. (00:30:25)
The Case of the Red-Faced Thespian - S4-E12
Continuity mistake: Sir Fearing Pangborn announces the "encore selection" with a hand on the sheet/tunic, but he had that hand low in the previous shot. (00:31:50)
The Case of the Red-Faced Thespian - S4-E12
Continuity mistake: Magnum asks Valerie Kane to show him her legs. Much to the viewer's enjoyment, she does; she also does it putting her right arm parallel to the edge of the desk, but in the following shot it's just like in the one before, across the desk, on the papers. (00:32:50)
The Case of the Red-Faced Thespian - S4-E12
Continuity mistake: When Valerie says "You can't keep me here!" sitting on the armchair, her shadow is in a completely different spot of the seat compared to the wider angle. (00:34:50)
The Case of the Red-Faced Thespian - S4-E12
Continuity mistake: Higgins, back in his wits, walks into the studio while Magnum is brainstorming with TC and Rick. He spots the invitations and examines them; as he approaches them you can see they are spread out in a fan, while at the beginning of the scene they were stacked in a neat pile. (00:36:15)
The Case of the Red-Faced Thespian - S4-E12
Continuity mistake: Magnum puts the register on the armchair while Higgins is looking at the invitations. He pulls away, but in the next shot he's still hunched over the armchair. (00:36:40)
Continuity mistake: Magnum and TC hi-5 at the beginning of the episode. The football bounces at distance from TC in the first shot, but it's right at his feet after their hands clapped. (00:02:00)
Continuity mistake: Drunk Carol is telling Magnum why she was fired. As she says "They took it away from me", her hand is in front of Magnum's, and yet it is on top of it at the cut. (00:06:00)
Continuity mistake: Magnum begins to open the safe; the sensor with the red wire is in left position, black wire in right position. When he removes the sensors, it's the other way around. (00:23:00)
Continuity mistake: Magnum is bullied into going with Carol's lame plan. The very first shot of him and TC on the Ferrari on their way to block the drug lord shows TC wearing a white sweatband on his head he does not have in the rest of the episode; it's recycled from 1-13, All Roads Lead to Floyd, and you can even spot the car typical of that episode. (00:29:10)
Continuity mistake: When Magnum and Rick find TC's office wrecked, Rick picks up a brochure and holds it out to Magnum in his right hand, with the team ring on his finger, but in the next closeup the ring has vanished. (00:41:50)
Continuity mistake: When Rick and Alexis try to escape in the chopper the baddies stop them, and when two of them leave with Alexis in their car, the rearview mirror repeatedly vanishes and reappears. (00:46:10)
Holmes Is Where the Heart Is - S4-E18
Continuity mistake: While we hear Higgins in voiceover as the flame is moved closer to his hand, there is a segue to Magnum's voiceover as he reads the typed words of Higgins' memoir, which we see onscreen. The problem is Magnum reads, "I knew I had no information to give them," yet those words are not actually typed on the paper. (00:39:15)
