Magnum, P.I. (1980)

A Sense of Debt - S4-E8

Audio problem: When Charlie Amos says "No time to promote you" questioning TC's proposal to replace Leon, the sentence is dubbed in, having different audio quality from the rest. (00:13:55)

Magnum, P.I. (1980)

A Sense of Debt - S4-E8

Continuity mistake: Shannen Doherty does some fine emotional blackmail on TC chasing him as he is leaving after just finding out about the boxing being of the bareknuckle kind. During this scene TC's boot on his chest changes orientation without being touched, from tip to the left ("You just gotta help me") to right ("Do you know how bad he can get hurt?") to left again. (00:13:15)

Magnum, P.I. (1980)

A Sense of Debt - S4-E8

Continuity mistake: First scene in Higgins' study. Leon Platt is determined to go on with his fights even injured. He has his good hand on his daughter Ima's shoulder. She tells him "No daddy, you can't!" as he removes the hand, but in the following close-up on Shannen Doherty, the hand is back on the shoulder. (00:08:25)

Magnum, P.I. (1980)

A Sense of Debt - S4-E8

Continuity mistake: Higgins through the intercom asks "TC, why are you here?" TC lowers his left hand - he had his thumb near the intercom button before, now he put it on the card. New shot, and he's back sticking his thumb up. (00:06:25)

Magnum, P.I. (1980)

A Sense of Debt - S4-E8

Revealing mistake: The shot of the Ferrari during the directorial credits (filmed from a car in front) does not feature Roger E. Mosley behind the wheel; you can see a bit of longer hair sticking from the top. (00:04:30)

Magnum, P.I. (1980)

A Sense of Debt - S4-E8

Revealing mistake: During the crash through the fence, the front of the Ferrari has a mockup in the front; the left direction indicator falls off outright, but it is just broken when TC and the new two passengers take off. (00:04:40)

Magnum, P.I. (1980)

A Sense of Debt - S4-E8

Continuity mistake: TC spots in a close-up the Marines tattoo of the guy he injured. The position of the daughter's hand (she has her fingers in the rolled sleeve) and body (she's tightly close) in that close-up is different than in the other views. (00:04:55)

Magnum, P.I. (1980)

A Sense of Debt - S4-E8

Revealing mistake: TC's accident with the hog pen is shot in (at least) two takes, one with the stuntman dodging the car inside an otherwise empty pen, and the establishing shot with the animals when the car is still not so close - and then when the car has stopped at the end and there's no danger for the pigs.

Squeeze Play - S4-E7

Audio problem: During the first phases of practice, Kioki in a close-up exclaims "All right!" in an obvious redub with background noise almost silenced. (00:08:25)

Going in Style (2017)

Continuity mistake: During the robbery, the assailant who is kind to Michael Caine tells the slimy employee to give him his wallet. He mentions the gym membership and there's a reaction on Caine being quite contemptuous about it. In the part that follows, Chuck's tie is above the jacket in close-ups and under it in the overhead shots of the room. (00:05:35)

Squeeze Play - S4-E7

Stupidity: Hard hats are a necessity but they leave something to be desired in terms of comfort and nobody really is overly fond of them. Yet in a Hollywood clichè, the construction workers chilling at the bar outside of work wear their hats, even the one guy who is retired (and still somehow knows where the guy Magnum looks for currently is). (00:16:50)

Magnum, P.I. (1980)

Squeeze Play - S4-E7

Continuity mistake: In the finale, Magnum is playing a solitaire. On the desk, the card on top row is an ace, then there are from right to left a 6 of hearts, a Jack of hearts, two spaces with cards face down, and a 5. When the village idiot makes Magnum turn the queen, he does it picking it between an 8 of hearts and a Jack of clubs that were not there before. (00:45:30)

Magnum, P.I. (1980)

Squeeze Play - S4-E7

Continuity mistake: At the 9th inning, Rick pitches and manages to get a triple play. The last shot before we see the scoreboard though is of Rick walking back to the bench, with his catcher mask, which was the role he played earlier. (00:38:25)

Squeeze Play - S4-E7

Continuity mistake: Lola decks Jerome on the field; he goes down with his arm bent up (glove above his cap), but it's at his hip when she is on him providing loving care. (00:28:30)

Magnum, P.I. (1980)

Squeeze Play - S4-E7

Revealing mistake: Higgins speaks with the idiotic nephew of the most hated (temporary) new boss, who tells him uncle is in the Den. Higgins opens the door and before it cuts to the new scene, you can peek through the door and see that the lights are switched off; Higgins is walking into an empty room (would be fun if it were the broom closet, but it's actually the correct photoset, just with nobody there). (00:19:25)

Crush Crush

Character mistake: In the phone call from Nova, there is one branch of the conversation that starts with the protagonist asking "Shouldn't you have used this call to contact a lawyer or something?" But the protagonist IS a lawyer (amongst many other things).

Suggested correction: Even lawyers will almost always hire another lawyer to do criminal defense.

LorgSkyegon

This correction doesn't make sense. Nova is not a lawyer, the player (whom Nova is calling) IS a lawyer. The player isn't saying something like "why are you calling a lawyer", or "shouldn't you have called a criminal defense lawyer." Nova called a lawyer and the lawyer's response was "why didn't you call a lawyer."

Squeeze Play - S4-E7

Continuity mistake: When "Wallace McNurty" mentions the "lunchtime drinking" the two workers in front of him are increasingly distant from each other at the cut, and the bearded one has his hands on hips and not down his sides. (00:18:10)
