Magnum, P.I.

Thicker Than Blood - S1-E12

Continuity mistake: Magnum is following the icky instructions for a protein drink left by his unseen girlfriend with the golden voice. Somehow from eggs, flat beer and tomato juice, the result is a green mix. He is blending it in close-up on the table (the wood texture is a tell), but he recovers the goop from a different piece of furniture with a sink. (00:14:40)

The Curse of the King Kamehameha Club - S1-E11

Continuity mistake: When Magnum pushes the journalist's foot off the accelerator and steps on the brake, he's wearing white worn-out Converse sneakers with light purple socks and she's wearing tan stockings and pumps. Wen they walked up to the car, though, she was wearing open toed shoes with no stockings, and Magnum was wearing brown boat shoes earlier when he arrived at Mr. Dollinger's home.

The Curse of the King Kamehameha Club - S1-E11

Continuity mistake: After the unexpected death of the champion racer, the protagonists discuss in Rick's office. Higgins is wearing a blue blazer with the navy and beige tie he wore during the announcement and curse. The fire alarm rings, and for the kitchen scene Higgins somehow had time to change his tie to a regimental one with thin red stripes. (00:12:00 - 00:14:20)

The Curse of the King Kamehameha Club - S1-E11

Continuity mistake: Magnum duped TC into following him to North Shore. He pulls over by a sexy Hawaiian holding a shopping bag. Far off in the distance, away from the building, there are two guys, one with a yellow tee, the other in olive grin. Next shot and the two guys are there on the porch already, not even giving Magnum time to hop off his car. (00:19:00)

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!?
