Magnum, P.I.

Texas Lightning - S2-E17

Continuity mistake: When Magnum and JL escape from Thompson's yacht, Magnum's black dress shoes become flat rubber bottomed shoes when the duo climb the rocky hills. Later, when he hears the chopper he puts on the dress shoes, then it reverts back to the other shoes again. (00:24:15 - 00:33:35)

Texas Lightning - S2-E17

Continuity mistake: Magnum is catching his breath while the guy who was having the better of him has to stop being held at gunpoint. He is touching the guy's arm in the first shot, but has his hand on the armrest of the chair in the next. (00:17:05)

Texas Lightning - S2-E17

Continuity mistake: In the close-ups of Jeannie's hand with the face-down card dealt by Mr. Matt Thompson, you can spot to the left of the cards her handbag, which is way far away in the shots of the table. (00:10:30)

Texas Lightning - S2-E17

Continuity mistake: Rick looks at Magnum funny when Jeannie Lowry says he'd look devilishly handsome in a tux. He has cards in hand, but the next shot starts with no cards anywhere near (TC is just then shuffling the deck), and more discontinuities happen during the convo later. (00:04:30)

Texas Lightning - S2-E17

Continuity mistake: Magnum joins TC and Rick that are playing poker with a mysterious blonde. As he gets through the door, the towel around his neck has the left side pulled very much up, above the level of the 44 symbol on the tanktop. The towel drops lower (more balanced) in other shots, going back and forth between the two levels. (00:04:00)

Texas Lightning - S2-E17

Continuity mistake: The man running down the escalator runs past the same couple (old lady with blue dress and man with pale yellow shirt) twice. Similarly, when the policemen reach the top and shout "Halt", the same woman with a hat reaches the top too in two separate shots. And, in the same shot, in the foreground coming up from the escalator there's a man with a white and blue striped polo, who was visible earlier in the policemen's way when Mike Vejar's director credit popped up, on the way to get down the same escalator.

Texas Lightning - S2-E17

Continuity mistake: Opening scene, recycled extras. Look no further than the blonde woman in a maroon stewardess uniform, walking to the left of the screen in the suspicious person POV, and simultaneously in the background behind him. Or the woman with long curly hair wearing a brown top and long beige skirt. (00:01:50)
