Magnum, P.I.

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)

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)

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)

Forever in Time - S8-E5

Continuity mistake: When Kaimi gives Magnum the address of the woman he's been asking about, Magnum is wearing the tan Polo Ralph Lauren shirt with the safari animal print, and when Magnum drives out to the woman's home, Magnum's shirt is still the same style, but the animal pattern is different. (00:21:00)

A Girl Named Sue - S8-E7

Continuity mistake: While Magnum and Sue are on the island, when Sue trips the booby trap there's a closeup of their feet and Sue is wearing tan dress shoes, but when the trapper comes out of hiding at Magnum's urging, Sue is wearing white sneakers. (00:35:10)

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)

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. (00:28:40 - 00:29:55)

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.
