Almost Home - S3-E10
Continuity mistake: Outside of the import company building, Magnum does one of his squeaky screams at Bridget, and she begins to sob. Selleck was squeaking with his fists down, but Kathleen Lloyd gets pouty while he has raised open hands. (00:36:30)

Almost Home - S3-E10

Almost Home - S3-E10
Continuity mistake: TC and Magnum incapacitate a yoyo with a net, then make a hasty escape. The camera cuts when Selleck's stuntman has the camera hand on the window frame, but Selleck himself in the next one has his legs already out and simply has to hop off the sill. (00:31:30)

Magnum, P.I. (1980)
Almost Home - S3-E10
Continuity mistake: At the beginning of the car chase, Rick is in a bit of a jam. There's a close-up with the actors in between two wide shots with the stuntpeople in the car; in that close-up the sunlight is different, as it can be easily seen on the backseats. (00:26:00)

Almost Home - S3-E10
Continuity mistake: Magnum grabs Bridget by the arm and drags her to the Ferrari. When she says peeved "He was my father, Magnum!" she puts her hand on her hip, but the reverse shot does not acknowledge this change of stance, and she is still standing with her arms down her body like in the earlier matching angle. It happens again with the same angles a moment later. (00:17:20)

Almost Home - S3-E10
Continuity mistake: Magnum and his client go to Mrs. Iko Tamura's house. Bridget leans against the fence right by the post, and in every front view of her she has her right hand to the right of the post, or on top of it. When the camera is behind Magnum, she is nowhere to be seen. (00:15:50)

Almost Home - S3-E10
Continuity mistake: Magnum gets up after specifying that 'generals' in the Navy are called 'admirals'. He puts the towel by the side of the plate he has In front of him, a plate with a fork and a leftover bit of his sandwich. In the wider angle though, there are two plates, one with his fork and leftovers, the other with more food. (00:08:45)

Magnum, P.I. (1980)
Almost Home - S3-E10
Continuity mistake: Agatha is cutting a piece of wood; she is almost done in close-up, the top part of the board is vibrating and about to come off. In the wider angle that follows, Agatha has yet to do a lot of work on it, the cut path is inconsistent with the one previously seen, almost mirrors it. (00:04:15)

Visible crew/equipment: Towards the end of the chat with Higgins while Rick and TC are learning "the fine art of eating the canvas", watch out when Higgins asks "So now you're questioning..." At the top of the screen, the boom mike' unmistakable shadow pops up and takes off to follow Magnum. (00:28:40)

Other mistake: During the airport reunion with father and son, there are several boxes of "Cole" brand pineapples...which are just Dole brand pineapples with masking tape put on to alter the letter D to a C. The tape came off one box revealing the original unaltered letter - you can also see it on the side of a box carried by an extra, Cole on the front, but Dole on the side. (00:43:05)

Revealing mistake: In one of the many cartoonish scenes involving Rick, he gets utterly stunned by the weak silly airplane-spin like movie Borgnine performs on him and after a chirping birds sound effect is played, he - or rather, his stuntman - does a Ric Flair faceflop. The stuntman is wearing tennis shoes with clean rubber soles. After his scene with Higgins, Magnum arrives with TC and Rick in a headlock - Rick falls in that shot, and he is wearing patent dress shoes with black soles. (00:27:20 - 00:29:40)
