Magnum, P.I. (1980)

Adelaide - S1-E14

Continuity mistake: Higgins and Magnum bicker quite a bit about Robin Masters' box, the horse client and rugged chukkers. During the whole scene, the same extras walk back and forth repeatedly with no logic. For instance, the woman in blue shirt and a straw hat, popping up behind Higgins first and then behind Magnum in the opposite direction when Higgins asks "Another uncle?" (00:25:30)

Magnum, P.I. (1980)

Adelaide - S1-E14

Continuity mistake: Magnum shoots at the bad guys who flee after setting on fire the stable of the rival. In close-up, Tom Selleck acts a bit, with an expression of disappointment at missing them and some energetic gesture. None of which happens in the longshot, where he repeats the same action but with no such flair. (00:23:00)

Magnum, P.I. (1980)

Adelaide - S1-E14

Continuity mistake: When Adelaide is crying thinking the horse to be dead, her uncle in close-up is leaning agaist the side of the door with his left hand. Longshot, and he's leaning into the frontal opening. (00:15:40)

Magnum, P.I. (1980)

Adelaide - S1-E14

Continuity mistake: The baddie is a real sharpshooter and punctures the tire of the jeep with a single gunshot. The jeep's wheel stops its spin in a close-up, but when Magnum gets off the jeep the tire looks fine, and it stopped in a different position - as you can tell by the position of the brand logo. (00:14:50)

Magnum, P.I. (1980)

Adelaide - S1-E14

Continuity mistake: Magnum and Adelaide's uncle follow the baddies that kidnapped her. The jeep drives up a slope; despite the fact that it's following a horseback bandit in the grass, there are already tiremarks in the grass. (00:14:35)

Magnum, P.I. mistake picture

Adelaide - S1-E14

Revealing mistake: When Adelaide bangs her shovel against a bandit that falls from the horse, you can see the man has extensive padding under his shirt, to take the hit and the fall. (00:13:45)

Magnum, P.I. (1980)

Adelaide - S1-E14

Continuity mistake: The quilt on Adelaide's camping bed is folded differently when she gets in bed, compared to when she began taking her boot off telling Magnum about her earlier display of "feminine wiles" (00:11:50 - 00:12:20)

Magnum, P.I. (1980)

Adelaide - S1-E14

Continuity mistake: Magnum threatens to leave, but Adelaide sulks hard enough to keep him on the case. When the camera is on her, the Detroit Tigers cap is reflected in the rear mirror, and it keeps the same position regardless of Tom Selleck's head movements in the other shots. (00:09:15)

Magnum, P.I. (1980)

Adelaide - S1-E14

Revealing mistake: Magnum and Adelaide are headed to her place on TC's chopper. Throughout the sequence, the camera moves up and down but can't conceal that the fact that they are not moving at all and they are just sitting in the chopper, with set lights reflected in her glasses and even the silhouette of the rotor of the chopper, completely still, peeking through the glass. (00:04:50)

Magnum, P.I. (1980)

Adelaide - S1-E14

Continuity mistake: In the part of the prelimary conversation when Rick and TC are having a blast from the notion that Adelaide looked Magnum up on the Yellow Pages, the shadow on Magnum's body keeps changing depending on the camera angle. (00:03:45)

Magnum, P.I. (1980)

Adelaide - S1-E14

Continuity mistake: Rick and TC glare at Magnum when he calls them his 'associates'; Rick turns with quite a bit of delay, and in the next shot, with Adelaide still talking in continuity, he's looking at her and not him. (00:03:25)

Saint Seiya (1986)

Yomigaere! Eiyuu Densetsu - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: When Shaina launches her Thunder Claw announcing the name of the move for the first time, she has blood coming down her armpit. She'll get that wound only much later in the fight when Seiya punches from the bottom of the slope and tears her shoulderstrap off. (00:15:10)

Saint Seiya (1986)

Yomigaere! Eiyuu Densetsu - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: The octagonal ornament at the centre of the sides of the box containing the Pegasus cloth is considerably larger in the arena scenes compared to the scenes in the hut. Even worse, when Seiya runs away with it leaping over craters and such, it gets even smaller, and stays that way also in the following episode. (00:12:50)

Saint Seiya (1986)

Yomigaere! Eiyuu Densetsu - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: When the Grand Pope awards the Cloth to Seiya, his necklace has 4 fuchsia beads on both sides. When he was displaying the prize early in the episode, his necklace had 3 of those large beads. (00:04:30 - 00:11:40)

Saint Seiya (1986)

Yomigaere! Eiyuu Densetsu - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: The Pegasus armor is contained by a box, metallic grey, placed on a slab next to the Grand Pope. When Seiya cuts off Cassios' ear, the box appears gold/bronze colored, and when he tells Cassios "I owe you quite a lot of payback", the pillar with the armor is right behind him already instead than the top of the stairs. (00:05:50)

Saint Seiya (1986)

Yomigaere! Eiyuu Densetsu - S1-E1

Stupidity: Despite being in training for 6 years at the temple to compete for a magical armor consecrated to a constellation and meant to harness the power of the Cosmos, Cassios and everyone else but Marin (Shaina towards the end) are mistified about the whole idea when Seiya uses it. What in the world have they all been training for, for 6 years, then? Shaina has to be the worst trainer ever. Cassios even calls it a 'superstition', but his master Shaina channels the power perfectly. It's like a Muggle working at Hogwarts and not believing in magic.
