Magnum, P.I.

Resolutions: Part I - S8-E12

Continuity mistake: When Magnum is with Dave at the radio station requesting his help as an audio engineer, Magnum's wearing the white Polo Ralph Lauren safari animal print shirt, and when it cuts to Magnum at the security office at Lee's building, now the animal print pattern is different, though he's still wearing the same style shirt.

Transitions - S8-E11

Continuity mistake: While Luther is wearing the red and black Hawaiian shirt with palm trees design, the shirt's pattern changes within Luther's scenes although the style of the shirt stays the same. It then reverts to the original pattern. (00:17:10)

A Girl Named Sue - S8-E7

Tigers Fan - S8-E4

Continuity mistake: When Higgins states Walker's photo is a fake which confirms Magnum's suspicions, Magnum is wearing the white Polo Ralph Lauren shirt with the safari animal print. Then when it cuts to Magnum back at HPD handing Page the arrest report with the fake photo, the animal pattern on Magnum's shirt is entirely different, though he's still wearing the same style shirt. (00:28:40 - 00:29:45)

Tigers Fan - S8-E4

Continuity mistake: At the guesthouse, when TC is telling Magnum about his "modern coaching" videotaping technique, in the wide shot Rick is standing beside the TV with the VCR on top, but in the closeup it's an entirely different TV, with no visible VCR atop it. (00:12:20)

Infinity and Jelly Doughnuts - S8-E1

Continuity mistake: When Ron Templeton hands Magnum the manila envelope, in the shot facing Magnum as he pulls the photo out of the envelope, we can easily see the image from the back side of the photograph. In this shot the man in the photo is wearing a suit jacket, white shirt, tie, with nothing on his head, but in the next closeup of the photograph Quang Ki is wearing a uniform and cap. The same thing happens again later, when Magnum is in his VA hospital room. (00:32:30 - 00:36:30)

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!?
