Character mistake: During the "World Youth Begins (Part I) " cutscene Shingo Aoi is taunted by Italian star player Salvatore Gentile. Gentile says; "Giapponese are so bad at football." This mish-mash of English and Italian is nonsensical, it should be, if anything "Giapponesi are so bad", plural, not singular.

Magnum, P.I. (1980)

Magnum, P.I. (1980)
The Ugliest Dog in Hawaii - S1-E8
Other mistake: During the short action sequence with Magnum scaring off Steve and Mitch before collapsing, the lights go off for unexplained reasons; Mitch already ran off and past the guard, so he couldn't have switched them off, and in the fight nobody knocks lights down or bumps into switches. That aside, there's also an odd timing on the noise of the syringe falling, since neither Magnum or Steve appear to hold it in hand and Magnum punched free earlier. (00:12:10)

Magnum, P.I. (1980)
The Ugliest Dog in Hawaii - S1-E8
Continuity mistake: The syringe that rolls on the floor in close-up is different from the one Steve uses to stab Magnum in the neck; it's thicker and with a different tip. (00:12:05)

Magnum, P.I. (1980)
The Ugliest Dog in Hawaii - S1-E8
Visible crew/equipment: In the fight the kennel, to the right of the screen before Magnum gets stabbed with the tranquilizer you can see someone inside the animal cage, perhaps the dog handler keeping him calm while the main cage doors are open. (00:12:00)

Magnum, P.I. (1980)
The Ugliest Dog in Hawaii - S1-E8
Continuity mistake: Magnum shows up in front of Evans, the security guard, with his phony ID. The man has both hands on the clipboard in one shot, just one in the next. (00:10:20)

Magnum, P.I. (1980)
The Ugliest Dog in Hawaii - S1-E8
Continuity mistake: Steve is typing away while DiGorgio disses him for failing to snag the pooch. When he says "You need somebody to tell you somethin' ", Steve's closed fist moves from the keys to the top of the typewriter. (00:10:20)

Magnum, P.I. (1980)
The Ugliest Dog in Hawaii - S1-E8
Continuity mistake: When the goons come back to the car after losing Sir Algernon Farnsworth, the same extras from earlier are walking back and forth by the car (black shirt guy, blonde guy with khaki jacket, etc). (00:05:40)

Magnum, P.I. (1980)
The Ugliest Dog in Hawaii - S1-E8
Continuity mistake: When Pier Guard Bear talks to DiGorgio through the car window, plenty people are getting lei'd in the door reflection, not matched by the reverse and wider shots. (00:03:30)

Magnum, P.I. (1980)
The Ugliest Dog in Hawaii - S1-E8
Revealing mistake: The moment Mitch and the other goon walk away leaving Victor DiGorgio in the car, you can spot in the background Michael Hasegawa in his private cop uniform waiting for his cue to enter stage, and just pretend to randomly notice the parking violation. (00:03:10)

Plot of Fear (1976)
Revealing mistake: Lomenzo needs to search through the police archive, and his coworker guides him through it. He opens a drawer where there are 3 folders containing case files starting with the letter A (including a ludicrously generic "Associates"). When he opened it, the labels on the front of the drawers were all starting with letter V. (00:10:35)

Plot of Fear (1976)
Continuity mistake: Inspector Gaspare Lomenzo arrives home and bickers with his girlfriend. After telling her that he's her "white slave", he leans against the counter; his hand is on the corner in the wider angle, on the front in the close-up. (00:09:20)

Plot of Fear (1976)
Revealing mistake: The protagonist figured out that the killer is following the "Shaggy Peter" nursery rhyme and explains it to his colleague. A close-up of the supposed killer follows, putting together an album with obituaries. The obituary to the left is an obvious fake; its bottom half begins with half a word mid-sentence, and it mentions a daughter-in-law; the actress Greta Vayan playing the victim - a prostitute - was in her early 30s. (00:07:50)

Plot of Fear (1976)
Audio problem: When the commissioner gets to the station at the beginning of the movie, a trans greets him, but their mouth does not move when they talk. (00:04:30)
5th May 2020
Plot of Fear (1976)
Revealing mistake: In the second murder, the killer of the first one is bashed in the head by a monkey wrench, her head split open. A second hit ensues, but there's no reaction to it, no further spraying or damage, the head itself barely moves, and with delay. (00:04:30)

Magnum, P.I. (1980)
The Ugliest Dog in Hawaii - S1-E8
Continuity mistake: At the beginning of the episode, the mobster park illegally on the yellow zone. During the hijinks that ensue, the extras' movements don't transition from one shot to the next. You can see it right at the first cut; conspicuous extras such as one holding a red bag, or a girl in an ethnic skirt selling leis, appear all of a sudden. Plus, there's a big amount of recycling with the extras - there's a guy in Hawaiian blue shirt carrying a suitcase that keeps walking by Victor DiGorgio. (00:02:40)

Never Again... Never Again - S1-E7
Continuity mistake: When Rick and Magnum figure out what really happened with the whole nazi business, the telephone spiral cord keeps going back and forth between shots. (00:39:45)

Magnum, P.I. (1980)
Never Again... Never Again - S1-E7
Continuity mistake: When Rick examines the old photo, he's holding it high, directly under the lamp, in the wide angle. In close-up he has it hovering merely an inch above the table. (00:39:40)
5th May 2020
Magnum, P.I. (1980)
Never Again... Never Again - S1-E7
Audio problem: In the episode montage that precedes the opening theme, Rick does his fake sushi delivery man schtick ringing the doorbell. The sound of the doorbell there is a buzzing sound different from the one used later in the actual episode. Which also is a single neat two-tone sound, in contrast with Larry Manetti pressing the button multiple times. (00:00:30 - 00:37:40)
