All Roads Lead to Floyd - S1-E13

Revealing mistake: When Bull pushes Magnum against a shelf during the final fight, the stuntman with a thin stage 'stache is seen. (00:44:50)

All Roads Lead to Floyd - S1-E13

Revealing mistake: After the shootout at the Ponzi scheme party, Floyd drives his prehistoric Honda in traffic with Magnum at his side. "Magnum" does not have his moustache - it's just some big guy in a Hawaiian shirt they put there as body double without even a fake stache. (00:25:00)

All Roads Lead to Floyd - S1-E13

Revealing mistake: Magnum tries to persuade TC that he can invite anybody over anytime; at the same time, we should be persuaded that the extras who look nothing like Tom Selleck and Roger E. Moisley and whose lips are not moving are the actual Magnum and TC having a conversation. (00:06:00)

Thicker Than Blood - S1-E12

Revealing mistake: On the docks, Magnum saunters towards a payphone. The phone is not exactly a sturdy or well made prop, because it wobbles even before Magnum touches it. (00:26:40)

Thicker Than Blood - S1-E12

Revealing mistake: When Magnum wakes up finding the tape recorder on the pillow, his collarbone scar shows the contour of the prosthetic patch. (00:13:20)

Thicker Than Blood - S1-E12

Revealing mistake: When the bad guys try to escape from the warehouse, multiple tiremarks of their highly unusual maneuver (a sharp turn that leads away from the door, in that precise spot) are already visible on the ground, no doubt from previous takes. (00:44:45)

Thicker Than Blood - S1-E12

Revealing mistake: In the longshot of the fight when the phone begins to ring, the stuntman replacing Roger E. Mosley is quite visible. (00:37:05)

The Curse of the King Kamehameha Club - S1-E11

Revealing mistake: En route to the hut of the kahuna, TC is reading from a book. He reads "That is why curses or warning of death prayer" making exaggerated motions that undoubtedly establish that sentence being at the bottom of the page. Magnum then urges him to go on "That is why what?", and he resumes reading, but he's reading now (and again, makes very obvious he's reading and not just repeating from memory) from the opposite page. (00:17:35)

The Curse of the King Kamehameha Club - S1-E11

Revealing mistake: When Mrs. Macao serves the fake beer to Mr. Dollinger, on the floor you can spot two lines; it's the spikes marking the spots where Tom Selleck and Elizabeth Smith stand a few seconds later to talk to him. (00:28:00)

The Curse of the King Kamehameha Club - S1-E11

Revealing mistake: Rick is leaving the club, or at least the kitchen. In Larry Manetti's close-up, the background shows various detergents with the label flipped in a mirrored shot. (00:15:45)

Sammo ★

Lest We Forget - S1-E10

Revealing mistake: The pursuing Marines call for backup, and a second jeep answers the call - through mirrored footage, though; the driver is on the right side. (00:43:30)

Sammo ★

Lest We Forget - S1-E10

Revealing mistake: The article Magnum reads in his Ferrari, by the title "Local judge offered high court seat" begins like this; "A former Los Angeles Veterans young actress, a bone of contention feet wide and eight feet high. Powered by electricity, it carries its own won't even pay that." Filler text can't get better than that. (00:21:25)

Missing in Action - S1-E9

Revealing mistake: Right after Newton drags his girlfriend to the ground and before Magnum spots him and takes aim, Eric walks at the top of the barge...but it's not the Eric we see then in close-up; it's a burlier guy dressed the same.

Sammo ★

Missing in Action - S1-E9

Revealing mistake: In a fun bit of 'movie computer science in the 1980s' that ends up with a beeping alarm and odd full-screen warning in ugly vectors for protected data, Mac types the name of the Lt. Eric Tobin with keystrokes that can't possibly match those letters. (00:11:15)

The Curse of the King Kamehameha Club - S1-E11

Revealing mistake: When Henry Lewis falls forward in his surf ski, the boat keeps going and it wobbles the camera. (00:08:50)

Sammo ★

Revealing mistake: In the close-up with Maggie ending the call to the office ("Bailey's Office"), the display indicates that the call lasted a whole 8 seconds. That is, needless to say, disproportionately short. (00:32:05)

Sammo ★

Revealing mistake: The protagonist is in the interrogation room. The clock on the wall shows 10:10, and stays that way throughout the scene, which lasts longer than a minute, close to two. (00:19:40 - 00:21:30)

Sammo ★

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)

Sammo ★

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)

Sammo ★

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)
