Magnum, P.I. (1980)

The Woman on the Beach - S2-E3

Continuity mistake: Lisa answers Magnum telling him she was nowhere near the potting shed; behind her, a woman with a purple dress is walking away. A while later, Magnum walks away too from all the Netherworld nonsense, and he just happens to pass by the same woman, who is again walking away from the club in the exact same spot and direction as before. (00:46:45 - 00:47:35)

Magnum, P.I. (1980)

The Woman on the Beach - S2-E3

Continuity mistake: Having a drink with Rick and Lisa at the end of the episode, she says "Because I didn't know where Sara was buried." Her right arm is on the table; in the next shot the hand is off it, and it keeps going back and forth, with the hand on or off the purse, that happens to shift as well. (00:46:35)

Magnum, P.I. (1980)

The Woman on the Beach - S2-E3

Revealing mistake: Lisa is hiding from Ellison inside the potting shed; the camera is following him, and you can see him move his head avoiding a big leaf that the camera itself pushes, showing its presence. (00:44:00)

Magnum, P.I. (1980)

The Woman on the Beach - S2-E3

Factual error: The opening sequence is set in "Summer 1945", and the librarian mentions as well the season; summer. The prop that Magnum is checking out though, has a headline identifying it as April 17, not quite summer. (00:17:55)

Magnum, P.I. (1980)

The Woman on the Beach - S2-E3

Continuity mistake: Rick spots the portrait of the mysterious woman on the beach (who apparently always wears the same clothes); the clock hands are at 12:10 when he stands and approaches it. In close-up it's twenty to 4. (00:16:10)

Magnum, P.I. (1980)

The Woman on the Beach - S2-E3

Continuity mistake: Rick asks Kemo the bartender for a cigarette. In the background, a man in black walks by a tiki torch. Cut to Kemo for a second as he hands him the cig, and when Rick is back in frame, the man in black is walking by another tiki torch that was several meters earlier in his path. (00:09:00)

The Woman on the Beach - S2-E3

Other mistake: First scene set in present day. Exterior shot of Rick's club. A sign says "King Kamehameha Club - Est.1905", In the previous season, episode 11 was focused on the club itself, and Magnum met the landlord, Mr. Sidney Dollinger, who explicitly said "I founded that club for the people.", and Magnum, regretting accusing him, mentions that he blamed "an 80-years-old man." Even assuming he was not precisely 80 in 1981, in 1905 he still would have been a pre-teen or barely a teenager, not the rich planter who founded Hawaii's most exclusive club donating a vast domain to it.

Magnum, P.I. (1980)

The Woman on the Beach - S2-E3

Continuity mistake: The woman in white leans over the back of a chair and clears her throat to discreetly shoo away an officer with his belle. There's difference in lighting between close-ups and the rest, and the position of the loose end of her scarf changes as well. (00:02:45)

Saint Seiya: Awakening

Factual error: In Chapter 11-2 a vulture is assigned as noise a howling (its speech balloon says " ^Howls^ ").
