Mr. Monk and the Candidate (1) - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: When Mrs. St. Claire refers Mr. Monk as "Rain man", her glass is about an inch and a half full. Next time we see her the level of liquid has dropped. (00:16:45)

The Ties That Bind - S1-E9

Continuity mistake: At the beginning of the episode, Katsumoto opens the fence with his left hand holding the torch and walks through it, but the arm is already raised in the following shot. (00:00:25)

Ki'is Don't Lie - S3-E2

Revealing mistake: In the fight against the chauffeur that covers the retreat of Morgan Fairchild, the face of Tom Selleck's stunt double and his thinner moustache are noticeable in several shots - in particular the beginning when they fight close to the camera, and when the bad guy bearhugs Magnum. (00:44:00)

Ki'is Don't Lie - S3-E2

Revealing mistake: The Simon brothers manage to make their escape and Magnum and TC get back to Robin's nest reaching Rick and Higgins. From the open door you can see a single real plant, and a matte painting to act as background. (00:34:15)

Did You See the Sun Rise? - S3-E1

Revealing mistake: Going through the database with Lieutenant Maggie Poole, Magnum spots finally Ivan's picture. This involuntary puts a rather hilarious twist to one of the most famous and dramatic endings of a TV episode, since that picture from the military intelligence database is exactly from the 'future', aka the ending of the episode; Ivan is wearing the same black suit and tie (pretty weird already with the setting) that he will wear in the ending, and is even in front of the same tree leaf by leaf. (01:13:30 - 01:34:20)

Foiled Again - S3-E7

Other mistake: The culprit does not have wounds on their hands, but whoever tampered with the box left blood inside it. If the blood is irrelevant to the case and could have been left by Higgins, then it's unclear why it has an effect on the culprit and make them admit their guilt.

Foiled Again - S3-E7

Continuity mistake: When the contestants are announced (in a thick French accent), it is said that Higgins fences from the right position. Rick later states, accusing Higgins, that "A lot of people heard Higgins ask for the right side." When the odious rival shows up, he says "You asked for the left position?" to which Higgins nods. (00:11:50 - 00:13:00)

Sammo ★

Foiled Again - S3-E7

Other mistake: At the beginning of the episode Magnum has some banter with Higgins, but also needs his help with a tie knot he's clueless about, to the point that he can't even pronounce its name and calls it "double Winslow", with Higgins promptly correcting him. And he's completely useless at doing it. However, in the previous season's episode "The Last Page", Magnum was helping Rick with his tie and giving him expert and sensible advice about it and explicitly referencing the Windsor knot, in fact discussing the merits of the half Windsor.

Foiled Again - S3-E7

Continuity mistake: When Magnum confronts the real culprit, in the couple of POV shots they are not wearing the gloves they have in the rest of the fight. (00:43:40)

Sammo ★

Foiled Again - S3-E7

Continuity mistake: After hearing from Magnum about Velma Troubshaw's conversation with the DA, Higgins shows up at her mansion and knocks at the door. The shadows of the foliage (and the shadow of John Hillerman himself) change noticeably at the cut. (00:37:00)

Sammo ★

Foiled Again - S3-E7

Continuity mistake: Magnum visits Assistant District Attorney Carol Baldwin who is having her lunch break outside. She has a paper towel around the yogurt container she's eating from, but when the camera is to her left the napkin reaches the rim of the container, whenever the camera is to her right it's an inch lower. (00:21:45)

Sammo ★

Foiled Again - S3-E7

Continuity mistake: Higgins is dressing up for the foil duel. He puts his right glove on when Velma apologizes, and when he replies that she has nothing to apologize for...he's putting the glove on again. (00:12:25)

Sammo ★

Foiled Again - S3-E7

Continuity mistake: Before the fencing match, Higgins' old belle Velma Troubshaw approaches him and they chat. During this chat the people behind Higgins are different from shot to shot, matching only the views from the same angle. (00:12:20)

Sammo ★

Foiled Again - S3-E7

Continuity mistake: Higgins is staring at the window after his dream. Magnum calls for him and casually walks into the study. Something changed in this second part of the scene; the black cap that will be a conversation point later is now placed across the lid and main case of the foil. In the opening view, it was entirely on the lid and wasn't on the frame. (00:03:05)

Die He Said - S1-E8

Factual error: Devon's password is his name spelled backwards, Nevod - but Windows (which he seems to be using, but in the day and age this show was made, it's pretty much a constant) has a minimum of 6 characters for a password. (00:19:00)

Sammo ★

Die He Said - S1-E8

Continuity mistake: In the hospital waiting room, Rick and Magnum answer in unison "Brooks" to TC. TC in that same shot lowers his hands, but they are up (so he can lower them) in the next close-up. (00:36:15)

Sammo ★

Die He Said - S1-E8

Continuity mistake: When Bobby asks Magnum to see the message from his brother William Malua, Magnum holds the phone with 2 fingers on top in the close-up, 3 fingers on top in the other shot. (00:33:30)

Sammo ★

Die He Said - S1-E8

Continuity mistake: After discovering the body in the trunk, Magnum sets a meeting up with the bad guys. When they get out of the car, in the longshot the car and all the ground around it are in the sun; in the closer view the car casts a large shadow. (00:29:10)

Sammo ★

Die He Said - S1-E8

Continuity mistake: Magnum told Bobby Malua about his brother and that he can't leave the island without first saving him. There's a close-up of him saying "Look..."; do look, and you can't Miss a big lock of hair across his bloodied eye. But in the next shot, it's gone. (00:14:50)

Episode #1.4 - S1-E4

Continuity mistake: With Fidel's arrival, Richard's straw changes position in his glass from pointed to the right, to the left. (00:24:00)
