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)
The Ugliest Dog in Hawaii - S1-E8
Visible crew/equipment: When DiGorgio argues that it's OK to park in the yellow zone, Mitch and Steve get out of the car and walk away, then as the camera is trucking to the right the large reflector screen is reflected in the car's back passenger window. (00:03:10)
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)
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)
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)
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)
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)
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)
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)
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)
The Ugliest Dog in Hawaii - S1-E8
Continuity mistake: Higgins holds Sir Algernon Farnsworth's radiograph with his left hand in close-up, right hand when the view changes. (00:12:30)
The Ugliest Dog in Hawaii - S1-E8
Continuity mistake: Inside his study when he talks with Magnum explaining the radiographs to him, Higgins is wearing trousers. Interrupted by the intercom, Higgins then goes outside with the intent to shoo off TC and the "juvenile delinquents", but does so wearing shorts. (00:12:40 - 00:14:20)
The Ugliest Dog in Hawaii - S1-E8
Continuity mistake: When Magnum picks up Algie while driving the Jimmy, Sharon is wearing a white blouse with a floral design, then during the following chase she's still wearing the same style blouse, but the floral pattern on Sharon's blouse changes. (00:17:10 - 00:31:20)
The Ugliest Dog in Hawaii - S1-E8
Continuity mistake: When Magnum, Sharon, and Algie are driving in the Jimmy, the rearview mirror appears and disappears depending on the angle of the shot. (00:18:00)
The Ugliest Dog in Hawaii - S1-E8
Revealing mistake: While Magnum is driving the Jimmy along with Sharon and Algie, in the shots facing only Sharon there's a bar (device to secure second camera onto that side window) with duct tape attached to the passenger door. (00:18:30)
The Ugliest Dog in Hawaii - S1-E8
Continuity mistake: Shawn Hoskins is waiting at the gas station when she is approached by one mafioso posing as a 5-0 agent. In the establishing shot her hair is in front of both shoulders, but closer angles feature her with her left shoulder clear of any hair. (00:20:25)
The Ugliest Dog in Hawaii - S1-E8
Continuity mistake: The car chase from the gas station to the banana plantation happens with the mobsters driving two cars passing as one. The first car is a Ford Sedan with single headlights and front and back license plate 3F-2890, but the car speeding up in most of the shots driving through the long roads is a similar model with double headlights, different grill and without a front license plate (7F-7594 is the back one, but you may need to freeze-frame for this last detail). (00:21:30 - 00:22:25)
The Ugliest Dog in Hawaii - S1-E8
Visible crew/equipment: After Magnum knocks out of the fake 5-0s at the gas station, he and his passengers escape in the Jimmy. When DiGorgio is at the steering wheel he picks up Steve and Michael, then in the exterior shots from the hood of the car, there's black material covering the passenger window at the left, and also on the windshield/car surface we see the reflection of a screen (where the camera is located). (00:21:35)
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)
The Ugliest Dog in Hawaii - S1-E8
Audio problem: During the car chase, the evil boss says a line "Well, there ain't gonna be no witnesses now, so be a good boy and pull that piece and get ready to use it." recorded at higher volume and 'flat' as opposed to variation of the street noises, making obvious that it was dubbed in later. (00:22:20)
