The Jororo Kill - S2-E12

Other mistake: The bicycle the killer uses is recognizable for its unique color pattern as the same prop used in the season 1 finale, when it was supposedly an expensive gift from Robin Masters, imported exclusively from Italy. (00:31:15)

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

Revealing mistake: Higgins is explaining the story of Bannister, which he conveniently happens to know all about. In Magnum's reaction shot, you can see that he starts giggling a moment before Higgins actually gets to the amusing part (that he was specialist at posing as a female). (00:17:50)

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

Revealing mistake: When Magnum is in the sniper's crosshair (and the following shots from that angle) you can already spot on the pillow the circular area around the detonation point of the charge that simulates a bullet - and even the little bulge of the charge itself. (00:23:35)

Magnum, P.I. (1980)

Ghost Writer - S2-E11

Revealing mistake: Looking at the reflection in TC's sunglasses and the relative staticity of the background it is quit evident that they are not flying around the building, but the chopper is landed somewhere with the cameraman doing some wiggling to shake things up a bit and give the impression of flight. (00:44:10)

Magnum, P.I. (1980)

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)

Ghost Writer - S2-E11

Revealing mistake: When TC says "Sometimes I HATE being right" as he ends up in a shootout as he feared, the close-up is mirrored so he can be shown sitting closer to the camera. The hat's letters are backwards, of course. (00:45:30)

Ghost Writer - S2-E11

Revealing mistake: Magnum and the others are escaping from the cryo room; meanwhile the two baddies are by the door...but in a mirrored shot, with the letters (for instance the big "Corrosive" sign) seen in reverse. (00:43:45)

Stupidity: TC has been circling his helicopter for ages directly over the building, but nobody inside was aware of his presence until the plot required it.
