Magnum, P.I. (1980)

Distant Relative - S4-E4

Continuity mistake: In the club scene when Magnum finds out Rick's little sister is not that innocent, the same extras do back and forth plenty times, sometimes back-back or forth-forth too with no continuity. One of the most obvious offenders is the girl wearing a red dress splotched with blue flowers; she is in every other shot at the beginning and comes from Magnum's left twice in a row. (00:10:35)

Magnum, P.I. (1980)

Distant Relative - S4-E4

Continuity mistake: At the bar, Rick's sister puts make-up on. She leaves the necessaire on the table when she begins to disrobe. She then picks up the clothes, and the make-up tools changed place and multiplied, showing also the brush and an additional powder box. (00:10:30)

Smaller Than Life - S4-E3

Continuity mistake: For the ending, Rick is shown putting on his pants. Few seconds later, when Higgins shouts "Your uniform!" at him, he's putting on the belt with the gun holster, but a few seconds later the belt he's trying to buckle is still the pants', and the gunbelt is still on the table.

Smaller Than Life - S4-E3

Continuity mistake: In the first shot of Magnum's room during Rick's visit with Waldo's codes, the modem is to the left of the phone, along the left side of the bedstand. In close-up the modem and cables take the whole width of the bedstand, horizontally placed. (00:23:30)

Magnum, P.I. (1980)

Smaller Than Life - S4-E3

Continuity mistake: During the initial infiltration attempt, the little guy puts his hand on the railing once the alarm rings. His hand is on the inner part of the top, but when the guards storm the front porch guns in hand, he has it flat on top and moves to inner only a second later. At the very end of the scene he also has a guard pointing an automatic weapon at his head, but he was several steps behind in the wide angle. (00:03:10)

Luther Gillis: File #521 - S4-E2

Continuity mistake: Supposedly Magnum and Luther have been tailed just after release from prison (the second time), but they have a complete change of clothes and accessoires. They can't be back from Robin's nest, because Higgins is outraged to see the man again on the premises - and really everything about dialogue and situation implies the opposite.

Luther Gillis: File #521 - S4-E2

Continuity mistake: Luther and Magnum figure out that there's something wrong with the nun's words, so they turn around and star running back. There's a street worker behind them, dressed in yellow and red. She sidesteps out of Luther's way. To the outside. In the reverse shot she is walking unperturbed between them. (00:33:30)

Luther Gillis: File #521 - S4-E2

Continuity mistake: Agatha reacts to the "He was shot" bit of info with concern in a close-up. A few seconds later there is a medium shot of her, and her karate gi is a whole lot more open. Definitely not the type of character or scene where it's implied she's showing some cleavage for Magnum. (00:15:50)

Luther Gillis: File #521 - S4-E2

Continuity mistake: Luther drives Magnum to the Nest while he shows him the book he wrote. During the trip, the cars behind either man in the rear window vanish at each cut, not appearing behind the other - particularly noticeable when a large truck roars past Luther right before Magnum tells him "Here we are" (00:14:30)
