Audio problem: When Ox punches Magnum in the final act, the one oonf!-ing in pain is seemingly Denny Miller and not Tom Selleck. The canned sound when he goes KO a few seconds later is equally disjointed. (00:42:10)
The Elmo Ziller Story - S2-E20
Audio problem: TC moves to answer the door a split second before the sound of the knocking is dubbed in. (00:10:20)
Audio problem: The chopper is so noisy that people in it can barely talk to each other over the noise (as made clear abundant times in the series, including the previous episode when they "muted" Higgins switching off his intercom), but Thomas and TC are having a conversation while the helicopter is hovering meters above and Magnum is still with his feet in the parking lot. TC's lines are also neatly dubbed in. (00:39:00)
Audio problem: Kate answers the phone at the club saying "Hello?" without moving her mouth. (00:31:35)
Audio problem: Magnum is begging Rick for a favor, and finally agrees to his conditions. He says "Will you do me the favour?" and an off-screen crunching noise is heard. But Rick is eating a sandwich, he still has it in hand. Only a second later he puts that down and grabs a crisp, which would make that kind of sound. (00:28:30)
Audio problem: In jail, the phrase Magnum mutters under his breath, "Like a spook", is dubbed in with a second of delay on Tom Selleck's lip movements. (00:26:00)
Audio problem: Mrs Joan Gibson, shoes in hand, is waiting for Magnum after his surfski session. He tells her "I'll be honest with ya" and there's a cut. The audio quality in this second part of the conversation takes a dive for the first seconds before finally adjusting. (00:12:25)
Audio problem: Higgins interrupts Magnum when he's about to go paddle in the ocean. John Hillerman's voice is dubbed over, and it's easy to tell because the background noises almost disappear during his line, to resurface when he's done. (00:02:15)
Wave Goodbye - S2-E7
Audio problem: Magnum is talking with Nick, the traumatized Vietnam vet. When he says "Maybe I've seen the kill. Maybe...I've just", his lips don't move for the last words. (00:29:05)
Audio problem: Magnum approaches Rick and TC at the table playing cards. TC's voice says "Fourteen bucks up on ya", but Roger E. Mosley's lips don't match and are the audio is Out of Sync, since he continues moving his mouth while Rick is saying something. (00:14:00)
Audio problem: Billy Joe manages to get through the not quite solid defenses of Ito. He shoos the geisha inside Ito's chambers and tels her "Go for a little while", with the actor's lips not moving at all except for "go." (00:43:35)
Audio problem: Billy Joe Bob's "He got in my way" response to Rick who tells him to leave the club after busting Harland's jaw is noticeably inserted in post, rather poorly dubbed in with a change of levels and discontinuity in background sound. (00:04:50)
