Magnum, P.I.

Italian Ice - S2-E15

Continuity mistake: Magnum shuns Katrina in her tennis uniform trying to plan his day ahead for him. He gets in the car, wearing his plain brown shirt and baseball hat. First shot as he drives to town, with the voiceover going "Other than being a bit presumptive..." etc, and the Magnum driving the Ferrari is hat-less and with a bright red Hawaiian shirt. Of course when he reaches the campus he's in the hat and brown shirt again. (00:19:35)

Italian Ice - S2-E15

Continuity mistake: When Magnum gets in the open theater, the natural light on the ramp is very different depending on the angle of shooting; it has a pronounced shadow of the parapet with strong sunlight, or nothing of the sort. (00:44:00)

Italian Ice - S2-E15

Continuity mistake: Katrina puts down the perfectly developed picture of Magnum and Margo by the car. There's nothing specific next to the spot of the counter where the photo goes, but in close-up there's a pair of scissors just handy for her to do her bunny boiler routine with. (00:32:35)

Italian Ice - S2-E15

Continuity mistake: Margos asks Magnum "Who's that?" seeing the chopper fly so low by the villa. Magnum is mostly off-frame but you can see his arm reach up to do the gesture he actually does only in the next shot - reach for his Detroit Tigers hat. (00:29:25)

Italian Ice - S2-E15

Continuity mistake: Magnum asks the (moderately) jealous Hawaiian about the scratch on his car. The guy says he didn't do it because it's "not nice." Margo is moving her hand from the bottom to the top of the stack she's holding, but it's back in place at the bottom in the next shot. (00:24:00)
