Magnum, P.I. (1980)

Never Again... Never Again - S1-E7

Continuity mistake: After the cliffhanger with Higgins pointing his gun at someone and seemingly unaware that that someone has a backup, it's time to show Magnum again that is rushing back home saying in voiceover how worried he is. Slightly undermining the severity of the predicament is the fact that in that particular shot and just there, he's driving with no pants on. (00:28:50)

Never Again... Never Again - S1-E7

Continuity mistake: Rick and Magnum spot the ambulance carrying someone away from Saul's home, and so they run out of the car to check what happened. Rick does not shut the car door, they go then straight into the Greenbergs' house, but when they come out, the Ferrari has both doors closed. (00:10:45 - 00:11:50)

Never Again... Never Again - S1-E7

Continuity mistake: When Magnum runs into Saul and Lena's home, the shadow of the hedge covers the whole steps. They stay inside less than a minute, and when Rick stands there wondering how's gonna break the news gently, the hedge shadow reaches barely half the width of the steps. (00:11:10)

Never Again... Never Again - S1-E7

Continuity mistake: When the Mercedes gets close to the shop (as the two occupants themselves say), it cuts to a closer angle, but the passersby change during this cut (the woman with a purple dress jumps 15 meters ahead, the people past the carpet store are different, etc). (00:03:30)

Skin Deep - S1-E6

Continuity mistake: Rick leads Magnum to David Norman that is drinking heavily at the club. When he shouts "Nurse" at the beginning, a woman in a pink bikini holding a straw hat moves across the area to get to railing. That same woman walks in and "just reaches the railing" about 4 times during the remainder of the scene. (00:10:10)

Skin Deep - S1-E6

Continuity mistake: David Norman is being loud at the King Kamehameha club. There's a cut to a table of 4 people looking at him; the leftmost person of that group is holding his drink, while in the wide angle the glass was untouched in the sun. (00:10:45)

Skin Deep - S1-E6

Continuity mistake: Erin Wolfe in the intro hangs up the phone a first time. When the phone rings again, there's a close-up on the table the phone is on, only the phone and lamp moved to a different position. (00:03:30)

The Big Ripoff - S1-E8

Continuity mistake: Jim at the end of the episode follows Rocky to his pick-up truck. While they are going there, he's checking out some girl in jeans shorts. About 20 seconds later he's making a comment about art being a hedge against inflation, and in the background the same girl is walking in the same direction. (00:48:30)

The Big Ripoff - S1-E8

Continuity mistake: Rockfords drops the hitchhiker at her place, and they chat about going to dinner. In close-ups, Marilyn Polonski's left hand is next to her left shoulder on the car roof; every time it cuts to the slightly wider angle the left arm is placed across, so her left hand is in front of her right shoulder. (00:22:15)
