Try to Remember - S2-E14

Continuity mistake: At the end of the episode, Tanaka approaches Magnum on the hammock and they have a chat. Sticking out from Tanaka's pocket, first his pair of glasses, then a packet of cigarettes for most close-ups, then the glasses again. (00:46:20)

Magnum, P.I. (1980)

Continuity mistake: In the reaction shot on Aunt Stella when Chris tells "I am (perfect) ", she is standing upright and with one hand on her mouth in surprise. Next shot and she's in the background leaning on the bar with both hands. (00:19:50)

Continuity mistake: Tom just had the first bite of the Napoleon crab and tells his date "You should really try this." Chris in a blatant lack of continuity goes from having her arms wide at the side of the plate, to raised arms with hands joined. And in the rest of the scene there are more inconsistencies in her hand motions, at practically every cut. (00:18:50)

The Jororo Kill - S2-E12

Continuity mistake: Magnum drops by at the hotel where he expect to find Kate and the Jororo delegation. As he pulls over in front of it, there are two elder ladies walking by, away from the hotel. One of them is wearing bright yellow pants and a very colourful top with horizontal stripes. Magnum gets into the hotel, and one of the extras he walks past right as he approaches the concierge, is that lady. And the other lady she was walking with, in a blue dress with white and red palms, is at the same desk. (00:21:45)

The Jororo Kill - S2-E12

Continuity mistake: Kate Sullivan is interviewing the Prime Minister. Notice the position of the cane next to the end of the armrest at the beginning, and then when she is called to the phone; the cane is now at a different angle on the opposite end. (00:20:00)

The Jororo Kill - S2-E12

Continuity mistake: In the scene with Mac and Rick fishing at the marina, continuity is all over the place as far as their hand movements is concerned; they move the fishing line with one hand that becomes the other in the next shot, several times. (00:13:00)

The Jororo Kill - S2-E12

Continuity mistake: Magnum checks out of the photo Kate Sullivan gave him. First shot and close-up, he's looking at it holding it between his fingers, placed on the side. Next, he's holding it in one hand by the bottom. (00:10:50)

Ghost Writer - S2-E11

Continuity mistake: The very first shot of the episode after the opening shows TC's chopper with the flotation skids and serial number N58243, but when it lands on the roof it's the more familiar N1095A with no such pads. (00:01:30)

Continuity mistake: As Magnum and the unlikely bunch of characters he picked up along the way reach the roof and move up a flight of stairs, the shadows on the cement change drastically in the aerial shot. (00:44:50)
