The Taking of Dick McWilliams - S2-E9

Continuity mistake: Magnum and TC are doing recon on the thirteen islands; the chopper has flotation pads on the skids when it flies over the ocean and approaches the islands in panoramic views, but the normal slim skids when they finally find the hideout and land by it. (00:39:30)

The Taking of Dick McWilliams - S2-E9

Other mistake: Magnum asks the drunk woman about her car, and tells her that it was seen "today at twelve noon." Two scenes later, Kaholo tells Dick that someone visited Gloria "today" asking her who was driving the car "yesterday." (00:24:50)

The Taking of Dick McWilliams - S2-E9

Continuity mistake: Rick is on the phone with "Shakey" while TC, who spotted his black eye, is pestering him about it. Rick's hand with the piece of paper changes height between shots. (00:22:10)

The Taking of Dick McWilliams - S2-E9

Continuity mistake: When the chopper follows the group of cars, their number changes between shots (5 in the widest aerial shot, 7 from the camera car). (00:19:00)

The Taking of Dick McWilliams - S2-E9

Continuity mistake: In the tunnel scene, the shadows at the end do not match -at all - between the different angles - in fact, the whole road is different, it's now more of a mountain road, the other parallel street disappeared. (00:18:00)

The Taking of Dick McWilliams - S2-E9

Revealing mistake: In the shot meant to show TC's chopper coming near the tunnel exit, the movement is not consistent with the handling of the chopper, not even within the maneuverability of it. (00:18:00)

The Taking of Dick McWilliams - S2-E9

Continuity mistake: In the wedding night flashback, Mitsu puts her hand on Dick's chest, with the fingers that either poke above the undone tie, or don't, depending on the angle. (00:13:30)

The Taking of Dick McWilliams - S2-E9

Continuity mistake: In the hotel suite, Dick says "I bet you that the bed is round" etc. Mitsu puts her right hand on top of the left looking at him and listening. Close-up, and it's the other way around, it's the left on top. (00:12:10)

Other mistake: In the sidequest 12-1 with Ikki and the inner demons (called "Devil Inside" in the actual speech), when he speaks with his brother Shun, the character of the Sanctuary Guard is used instead.

Bug: The moves of the WWE fighters that involve hitting a grounded opponent (The People's Elbow, the Five Knuckle Shuffle, etc) more often than not don't actually connect with the opponent but are way off target even when damage is calculated.

The Taking of Dick McWilliams - S2-E9

Continuity mistake: Magnum is busy doing his taxes with TC on the couch when Higgins arrives. Throughout the scene, the position of Magnum's calculator on the table changes between shots. (00:05:30)

Sammo ★

Stupidity: There's no explanation for the level in Italy; Billy and Jimmy have already all the three stones by the end of the Japan battle and they need then to go to Egypt. The NES version does explain it, in a laughable way; Hiruko says a rather silly "We must now travel to Egypt to free Marion, but before we do, we must spend time in Italy, practising for the big battle", Technically the NES version has a different storyline, since Marion is not missing at all in the other versions.

Factual error: In the Arcade, the map marker at the beginning of each stage is all wrong, being too far right - the US level starts somewhere off Nova Scotia, the Italian marker is in the Black Sea, etc. Home versions mostly fix it, but not quite; the Italian level in the Amiga version would be in France and the Egypt final stop is more like in Algeria.

Sammo ★

Character mistake: In the arcade version, before entering the door with the three stones, Hiruko says "There is a secret hidden beneath HEAR, go."

Mad Buck Gibson - S2-E8

Continuity mistake: Magnum is pouring sweat at the beginning of the episode, with a huge sweatstain at the front of his tanktop. He's wearing the same one when he talks to his client, but it's all dry. (00:03:00)

Mad Buck Gibson - S2-E8

Revealing mistake: Magnum just set foot in the bar, and finds TC and Rick there. Buck puts the crutch against the back of the couch, but it won't stay still, so Darren McGavin tries again. This time, a stagehand just out of frame catches it and draws it out of frame. (00:19:40)

Mad Buck Gibson - S2-E8

Visible crew/equipment: Gibson crashed the Ferrari into the goat fence. Magnum stops the Audi and walks out to help him. Inside the passenger side mirror, the hand of the cameraman can be spotted. (00:34:55)

Sammo ★

Mad Buck Gibson - S2-E8

Other mistake: Magnum needs to stop Buck, and asks Higgins for the keys to the Audi. Higgins just happens to have the keys in his pocket, which makes no sense, since he keeps them in a drawer inside the study, and can't just wander about all day with all the keys to all of Robin Masters' vehicles inside his pants. (00:33:00)

Mad Buck Gibson - S2-E8

Revealing mistake: When he trades some punches with the big guy in the bar in a fast paced sequence, back to the camera, "TC" is a good 20 pounds lighter. (00:23:05)

Sammo ★

Mad Buck Gibson - S2-E8

Continuity mistake: In the barroom brawl, Rick foolishly attacks the huge dude. He backhands him into oblivion, sending him falling back-first off frame. Rick crashes on the stools belly-first though, and the stools were at very short distance, not exactly room for him to turn another time and fall as shown. (00:22:55)
