Magnum, P.I. (1980)

Luther Gillis: File #521 - S4-E2

Continuity mistake: When Luther riles Tanaka up, at the beginning a cop with a yellow shirt and one with a black patterned one are in the background. First the yellow one, then the black one in separate shots move past the desk and exit stage left carrying a folder. A policewoman then does the same. In the second part of the scene all these people make their exit to the left again. (00:08:30)

Continuity mistake: Little Flint makes a drawing and sticks it between two of his posters. In the first shot the left corner is by the "M" of "Graham", but in the overhead view it's on the second A. (00:03:00)

Home from the Sea - S4-E1

Continuity mistake: TC and Higgins look into the guest house. From the top of the stairs looking down, there's a newspaper that is perfectly perched on top of the lamp shade. When they get downstairs and Higgins muses about abhorrent acts of perversion involving lizards, the sheet got limp. (00:37:45)

Magnum, P.I. (1980)

Home from the Sea - S4-E1

Continuity mistake: Magnum's dad says on tape "I'll be home by the 4th." Both Magnum and his mom cheer. In close-up on Mrs. Magnum as the tape says "I hope so", Mini-Magnum is casting a shadow on her, but he was at greater distance in the previous shot, no shadow. (00:36:50)

Magnum, P.I. (1980)

Home from the Sea - S4-E1

Continuity mistake: TC gets anxious after passing by "She-Magnum" and honks at the cars in front of him at the traffic lights. It's obvious from the light and the buildings that the traffic lights shot is not matching the other views. (00:29:10)

Home from the Sea - S4-E1

Continuity mistake: During the chess game, Higgins does a Magnum on Agatha with his "I know what you're thinking...", causing her to raise her hands already at the very end of that specific shot. She will start the action all over again only later in a subsequent shot. (00:27:35)

Home from the Sea - S4-E1

Continuity mistake: Agatha is consoling Higgins for the loss at polo. She tells him that it was good strategy as she puts the pot down and puts her hand on the teacup. Next shot and as she elaborates she is holding nothing and putting her hand down to get the cup just then. (00:19:35)

Magnum, P.I. (1980)

Home from the Sea - S4-E1

Continuity mistake: TC is driving his team of youngsters for the 4th of July game; in the aerial shot of the van, it is driving a different road than the one shown in the interior view, and it's driving on the leftmost lane while it had cars on both sides of it and the right railing has been closer. (00:08:00)

Continuity mistake: Bo is waiting for Luke's escapade with Laurie, and meanwhile listens to Al Unser Jr.'s story narrated by Laurence Fishburne. He checks out of the case of the tape propping it against the left or the right of the steering wheel depending on the camera angle. (00:02:40)

Three Minus Two - S2-E21

Continuity mistake: Magnum is eating a banana and asking Rick to do his job for him. Rick says "Then you're not sure that this Lindsey guy knocked his partner off" and folds his arms, which are again extended as before after the cut. (00:27:25)

Three Minus Two - S2-E21

Continuity mistake: TC is taking plenty snapshots of Rick while he gets set for lunchtime at the club. In the wide angles the wind puffs up the tablecloths, while in TC is snapping away in close-ups with the cloth undisturbed. (00:23:00)

Three Minus Two - S2-E21

Continuity mistake: Magnum meets Florence Russell clearing out of the office. He tells her that they are looking for a place where to put the equipment, and she shrugs saying "It's allright." She had a frame in hand that disappears to the opposite side of the paper bags she had her hand on. (00:21:30)

Three Minus Two - S2-E21

Continuity mistake: The announcer is describing the first bikini. The model, seen through the screen, slips the cover-up robe in her left hand, but at the cut that hand is free and goes on her hip. When she makes her exit from the stage, the same robe goes from her hip to over her shoulder. (00:01:45)

The Elmo Ziller Story - S2-E20
