Magnum, P.I. mistake picture

The Look - S4-E9

Revealing mistake: In the big climax, TC's chopper flies up from the cliff surprising the baddie with the gun. You can get a good view then of the pilot, which is not TC, but a white guy in a black ski mask. (00:45:45)

The Look - S4-E9

Audio problem: The whole episode revolves around a radio DJ, who calls the various songs - however, for licensing issues, contrary to what the DJ advertises, the songs (including at least four Beatles hits, Elton John, and a version of Satisfaction that already appeared in the celebrated Season 3 opener) are not the originals, but stock covers.

The Look - S4-E9

Continuity mistake: The chopper takes off from Higgie's un-birthday party, looking as usual. It flies over a shore to thwart Holly's plan, and doing so it has the flotation skids from a different chopper's stock footage. It is therefore also missing the birthday banner, that is present again in the finale. (00:45:10)

Magnum, P.I. (1980)

The Look - S4-E9

Continuity mistake: After the surprise unmasking (or unhelmeting) of the wheeled assailant, Holly Hudson in the background lowers her hands, which are still on her face in the close-up that follows. (00:23:50)

Magnum, P.I. (1980)

The Look - S4-E9

Continuity mistake: Magnum is about to leave after the slightly awkward introduction to Holly Fox, but she calls him back saying "Maybe there *is* something you could help me with." He sticks his head back into the room, and you can see the glasses' left arm is above the shirt collar. Next shot and it went underneath. (00:13:40)

The Look - S4-E9

Continuity mistake: When Holly says "I'm the morning edition" in her first meeting with Magnum, the cup's handle is in her right hand at the cut, while it was in her left in the previous shot. (00:13:05)

A Sense of Debt - S4-E8

Continuity mistake: Throughout the episode, which covers a timespan of a couple of weeks, the various patrons of the bar/club where the fights take place for the most part are around for every match, which is not out of the ordinary but...wearing the same clothes too, that's more unusual.

A Sense of Debt - S4-E8

Revealing mistake: All the 'boxing' in the episode is unrealistic pure 80s Hollywood hot camp garbage, but the finishing blow of the final match in particular is miles off, bad even for the low standards of that sort of 'action'. (00:44:10)

A Sense of Debt - S4-E8

Continuity mistake: When the champion sends TC flying with some sort of flamboyant knee to the face, before TC gets to the ground you can see the towel on the top rope being quite distant from the turnbuckle. In the rest of the scene it is right by it. (00:42:45)

A Sense of Debt - S4-E8

Other mistake: Fun gag but does not make sense; Magnum has a prolonged conversation at the bar (not a random brief chance encounter) with Lou Whitaker and Alan Trammel, and he, a huge Tigers Fan who in other episodes proved to be able to recognize obscure players from other past teams, needs the bartender to tell him who they were. (00:27:30)

Saint Seiya: Awakening

Other mistake: The description of Siren Sorrento keeps using female pronouns ("she", "her"), but the character is unambiguously male. Of course Sirens in mythology were female, but it's simply the creature his Cloth is dedicated to.

A Sense of Debt - S4-E8

Continuity mistake: Magnum is talking with the landlady in Chicago. He sneaks a peek of the Tigers game on TV. In the wider angle the newspaper in front of the TV is folded revealing different letters than in the close-ups, where it's tightly pressed. (00:19:25)

A Sense of Debt - S4-E8

Continuity mistake: Claude rings a cowbell to announce the contenders. Amongst the patrons, recognizable and featured prominently is a local girl with a brown dress and white shoulderstraps. She is shouting and cheering in a frontal view, drink in hand, but she is also sitting in another seat, smoking, in the shots from behind. (00:14:50)
