Basket Case - S3-E14

Continuity mistake: Magnum replies peeved to Higgins "I'm the coach, remember?", hand to his chest in close-up. Medium shot and he is pulling back from the chest his right hand, but in close-up it was his left hand. (00:09:35)

Basket Case - S3-E14

Continuity mistake: Magnum and Higgins are bickering over the choice of colour in the jerseys. In the first shot, the jersey is partially over the side of the box and Magnum's basketball is on the table. Second one, and the shirt is fully inside the box and Magnum holds the ball. Back to the first angle, and the previous status quo, next change and the shirt is back neatly folded in, etc. (00:09:10)

Basket Case - S3-E14

Continuity mistake: When Magnum and Wally talk about where's from and she namedrops Bill Walton, he has his hands on his hips or in front of his crotch depending on the two main angles. (00:07:30)

Basket Case - S3-E14

Continuity mistake: After scoring between Magnum's legs, the kid walks away. Magnum calls her back, and they have a brief exchange. She keeps her ball against her side with her hand when viewed from behind, with her arm in the frontal. (00:07:00)

Basket Case - S3-E14

Continuity mistake: During Magnum's first team practice, light conditions change from cut to cut - for instance when the chubby kid in green says "Tell him we're not playing football", and pronounced shadows appear all of a sudden. (00:05:30)

The Arrow That Is Not Aimed - S3-E13

Character mistake: At the end of the episode, Magnum says "You know what they say about samurai swords - you unsheathe 'em, you gotta draw blood!", but throughout the episode, Tozan drew his sword on Magnum and the villain and no blood has been drawn - in case of Magnum, there was no intention of it either.

The Arrow That Is Not Aimed - S3-E13

Revealing mistake: Gallagher, the Tourist Shop Owner has been fished by Magnum but, as one of the doc workers says, he's been "Down there long time, bro, pretty bad shape" and he is "in intensive care, unconscious" later in the episode. However, just before the camera cuts away he opens his eyes. (00:35:10)

The Arrow That Is Not Aimed - S3-E13

Continuity mistake: Magnum dives fully clothed to save Gallagher, the Tourist Shop Owner. Obviously he's soaking wet after that. Later at home, Magnum is sitting at the desk in the study wearing the same polo and jeans, bone dry. (00:35:00 - 00:36:10)

The Arrow That Is Not Aimed - S3-E13

Continuity mistake: After Tozan has finished everyone in berserk mode, the dead ninja closest to Magnum is lying down in different positions between shots. (00:43:15)

The Arrow That Is Not Aimed - S3-E13

Continuity mistake: During the car chase, the weather changes from one shot to the next - the pier is fully and brightly lit, when it wasn't a moment before. (00:33:00)

The Arrow That Is Not Aimed - S3-E13

Revealing mistake: Facing an angry samurai swinging his sword John Belushi-style, Gallagher, the Tourist Shop Owner, wisely decides to hightail. When he shuts the door and when the angry Japanese touches said door to chase him, the whole wall shifts, revealing to be a set. (00:33:10)

The Arrow That Is Not Aimed - S3-E13

Visible crew/equipment: Fukuda-san is not impressed by Magnum making excuses for Tozan. When Tozan says "There is nothing to say. Fukuda-san is right", set lights are reflected in Tom Selleck's sunglasses. (00:27:00)

The Arrow That Is Not Aimed - S3-E13

Continuity mistake: After waking up with a massive hangover, Magnum is meeting the unhappy designated recipient of the Kenzan plate. At the beginning of the convo, the table shows no direct sunlight, but at the first cut the scene is suddenly brightly lit. (00:26:40)

The Arrow That Is Not Aimed - S3-E13

Revealing mistake: The Yakuza boss contacted by Rick has an amputated pinky finger. In theory, because it's easy to spot the real finger bent and tucked in the shadow. (00:21:00)

The Arrow That Is Not Aimed - S3-E13

Revealing mistake: It is quite evident that Mako's sword does not touch the candle but smacks the table a few inches to the left. (00:17:05)

The Arrow That Is Not Aimed - S3-E13

Continuity mistake: When Rick goes "Hohohohoho!" at Magnum's "I need your help!" passionate plea, both him and TC are sitting in different positions compared to the previous shot - they had their hands in midair and now they have them placed on the table. (00:16:10)

The Arrow That Is Not Aimed - S3-E13

Continuity mistake: At the beginning of the scene at the King Kamehameha club, Rick and TC are laughing their pants off at the whole ninja story. Magnum says "Come on, guys!" and two people - a woman with a blue swimsuit and pareo and a man with a purple tanktop with a large light strip - are moving across the street. Those same extras are recycled later in the scene, simultaneously by the sea when Magnum's story is called 'a little far-fetched' and walking in the club area right after. (00:15:30)

The Arrow That Is Not Aimed - S3-E13

Other mistake: Magnum mispronounces the word 'seppuku' calling it it 'seppuki', prompting Higgins to correct him. He plays the role of the usual Westerner who is unfamiliar with the word and concept. But in the previous season, in 2-9, "The Taking of Dick McWilliams", not only he already had to deal with the prospect of ritual suicide, but he spontaneously mentioned the word himself ("Seppuku? You're willing to let your daughter kill herself?") with the other person simply mentioning a vague 'honorable thing to do'.

The Arrow That Is Not Aimed - S3-E13

Continuity mistake: When Magnum protests that it is in his "constitutional rights" to bug-spray the lads, his hand is on his belly, but it is on his thigh in the wider angle that follows. (00:05:00)

Factual error: Morris manages to rake up 5 million pounds in cash. Even if they all were £50 notes (which they aren't, there are at least 3 different denominations in the props), there still would be 100,000 of them, much more than what the little bag they empty in 3 handfuls could contain. (01:20:00)
