Continuity mistake: Inspector Maggie Price arrives on the crime scene; the first time we see the coroner near the body, the left hand of the deceased has just a tiny bit of tablecloth underneath it. It has a much larger portion in the overhead shots that follow. (00:18:30)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Ian Jenkin dies taking the tablecloth with him. During this sequence, the bistro owner grabs his glass of wine twice in two different shots, in one of which Pauline Duquette is still sitting down; she got up promptly just in the previous shot. (00:17:40)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Ian Jenkin stands to make an announcement. In the wide shot, the man at headtable has his right hand on the table, but in the next close-up he's putting down a coffee cup. (00:17:10)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Dinner is served, the first dish at least. The person at the head of the table makes a remark to Raymond saying they should have the same bold choice; during this exchange, Henry reaches for his glass. Next shot, not a split a second has passed, and yet in the foreground you can spot to the very right of the frame that he's already drinking. (00:15:30)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Henry accepted the case and is in the kitchen talking to the chef. Throughout the conversation, the movement of the various extras is in compartments; when they get out of frame, they do not appear in the next shot. (00:13:00)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Henry does the whole Sherlock Holmes thingy deducing specific aspects of people's lives based on observation. Easy one with Maggie, guessing she's divorced. When he explains how he guessed it, her hand holding the glass from above changes position between shots. (00:07:55)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Maggie's clumsiness burnt the tasty dish, but the gourmet detective hands her and her unlikely date a spare portion. During the sequence that follows, her fork switches hand and is lowered or raised without continuity between cuts. (00:06:25)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Henry's assistant mentions Duquette calling; she has her arms lowered seen from behind, but when she replies that he didn't say the reason, she is holding the phone in front of her chest. (00:03:20)

Missing in Action - S1-E9

Continuity mistake: In the initial phase of the conversation over the phone (and the road) with Agent John W. Newton, Eric Tobin's hand shifts slightly on the microphone between shots (the position of his index is different), and in a much more evident flub, when he says twice "Delta One" at the very end he has no left hand at all on the phone receiver in the first shot, and does in the second.

The Ugliest Dog in Hawaii - S1-E8

Continuity mistake: The position of TC's chopper on the helipad changes depending on the angle - in the wide angle with the camera pointing at the building, the skids are partially off the pad, they are within the boundaries in the other angle - and Magnum, the dog inspector and the dog hop on the chopper from a much larger platform in asphalt.

Magnum, P.I. mistake picture

The Ugliest Dog in Hawaii - S1-E8

Continuity mistake: The car chase from the gas station to the banana plantation happens with the mobsters driving two cars passing as one. The first car is a Ford Sedan with single headlights and front and back license plate 3F-2890, but the car speeding up in most of the shots driving through the long roads is a similar model with double headlights, different grill and without a front license plate (7F-7594 is the back one, but you may need to freeze-frame for this last detail). (00:21:30 - 00:22:25)

The Ugliest Dog in Hawaii - S1-E8

Continuity mistake: In the close-up of Sir Algernon Farnsworth barking immediately after the jeep's tank is punctured by the bullet, he's on a car seat with a plaid pattern, but the interior of the car, back seats included, was shown during the gas station scene as beige/sheepskin. (00:23:00)

The Ugliest Dog in Hawaii - S1-E8

Continuity mistake: When the mobster shoots TC's helicopter, he snipes at great range with a revolver and manages to make a hole in one of the chopper's windows, or so at least it looks in close-up, since there's no bullet hole in the other views. (00:39:25)

The Ugliest Dog in Hawaii - S1-E8

Continuity mistake: Magnum and Sharon pass over the fence of the impounded pier (and Sir Algernon Farnsworth passes through it). There's no significant natural light in the scene, but when they reach the building at the end of the pier in the next shot, the whole pier they ran on is suddenly fully sunlit. (00:30:25)

The Ugliest Dog in Hawaii - S1-E8

Continuity mistake: Shawn Hoskins is waiting at the gas station when she is approached by one mafioso posing as a 5-0 agent. In the establishing shot her hair is in front of both shoulders, but closer angles feature her with her left shoulder clear of any hair. (00:20:25)
