The Ugliest Dog in Hawaii - S1-E8

Other mistake: At the end of the episode, Zeus and Apollo are in a cage, and it is explained that it's because of sir Algernon's presence, due to Magnum's decision. It makes for a humorous finale, but does not make any sense; it's sir Algernon that has to be isolated for the 4 months quarantine, and an earlier segment implied that a fence had been built for him, as he needed to be limited in movements to avoid contact with the ocean and everyone on the estate.

The Ugliest Dog in Hawaii - S1-E8

Continuity mistake: The position of TC's chopper on the helipad changes depending on the angle - in the wide angle with the camera pointing at the building, the skids are partially off the pad, they are within the boundaries in the other angle - and Magnum, the dog inspector and the dog hop on the chopper from a much larger platform in asphalt.

The Ugliest Dog in Hawaii - S1-E8

Character mistake: Steve gets on Rick's truck and tells him "Just follow that car." However, when we see what happens through TC's chopper, the van is in the lead, and the car is the one following - probably it was footage shot with the intention to reveal Magnum's plan earlier. (00:42:00 - 00:42:40)

The Ugliest Dog in Hawaii - S1-E8

Continuity mistake: The car chase from the gas station to the banana plantation happens with the mobsters driving two cars passing as one. The first car is a Ford Sedan with single headlights and front and back license plate 3F-2890, but the car speeding up in most of the shots driving through the long roads is a similar model with double headlights, different grill and without a front license plate (7F-7594 is the back one, but you may need to freeze-frame for this last detail). (00:21:30 - 00:22:25)

The Ugliest Dog in Hawaii - S1-E8

Continuity mistake: In the close-up of Sir Algernon Farnsworth barking immediately after the jeep's tank is punctured by the bullet, he's on a car seat with a plaid pattern, but the interior of the car, back seats included, was shown during the gas station scene as beige/sheepskin. (00:23:00)

The Ugliest Dog in Hawaii - S1-E8

Continuity mistake: When the mobster shoots TC's helicopter, he snipes at great range with a revolver and manages to make a hole in one of the chopper's windows, or so at least it looks in close-up, since there's no bullet hole in the other views. (00:39:25)

Factual error: Mercenary Sheila "Scope" Sterlin's profile says; "As a former member of the British Special Forces, Sheila Sterlin was stationed in Belfast." Her profile in the sequel (Jagged Alliance 2) begins with this note; "First off, a correction is in order; Sterling's previous bio mistakenly stated that she was a member of the British Special Forces when, in fact, no such service exists. She served with the British Special Air Service (SAS). A.I.M. regrets the error and any inconvenience it may have caused." Enough said.

Continuity mistake: Magnum and Sharon pass over the fence of the impounded pier (and Sir Algernon Farnsworth passes through it). There's no significant natural light in the scene, but when they reach the building at the end of the pier in the next shot, the whole pier they ran on is suddenly fully sunlit. (00:30:25)

The Ugliest Dog in Hawaii - S1-E8

Factual error: Wheels stuck in the jungle terrain, the mobsters get out of the car. It's a jungle in Hawaii, but, lo and behold, the first sound they hear is the call of a kookaburra, which is native of Australia and New Guinea (but also one of Hollywood's favourite stock sounds). (00:25:05)

Audio problem: During the car chase, the evil boss says a line "Well, there ain't gonna be no witnesses now, so be a good boy and pull that piece and get ready to use it." recorded at higher volume and 'flat' as opposed to variation of the street noises, making obvious that it was dubbed in later.

The Ugliest Dog in Hawaii - S1-E8

Continuity mistake: Shawn Hoskins is waiting at the gas station when she is approached by one mafioso posing as a 5-0 agent. In the establishing shot her hair is in front of both shoulders, but closer angles feature her with her left shoulder clear of any hair. (00:20:25)

The Ugliest Dog in Hawaii - S1-E8

Revealing mistake: Magnum punches the baddies who tried to dogjack them at the gas station. Old Mr. DiGorgio drives the car and picks them up. Not so old, actually, because Michael V. Gazzo is substituted at the wheel by a younger and leaner stuntman with a fake stache. (00:21:35)

Other mistake: The wall calendar in the hospital background during Story mode has a total of 23 days in the month.

Character mistake: In the "After the Mexico Match" cutscene, Espadas tells to Tsubasa in the hospital "You knew you won the moment you DEFELECTED the ball with your face", in an obvious typo.
