Adelaide - S1-E14

Continuity mistake: Magnum threatens to leave, but Adelaide sulks hard enough to keep him on the case. When the camera is on her, the Detroit Tigers cap is reflected in the rear mirror, and it keeps the same position regardless of Tom Selleck's head movements in the other shots. (00:09:15)

Adelaide - S1-E14

Revealing mistake: Magnum and Adelaide are headed to her place on TC's chopper. Throughout the sequence, the camera moves up and down but can't conceal that the fact that they are not moving at all and they are just sitting in the chopper, with set lights reflected in her glasses and even the silhouette of the rotor of the chopper, completely still, peeking through the glass.

Adelaide - S1-E14

Continuity mistake: In the part of the prelimary conversation when Rick and TC are having a blast from the notion that Adelaide looked Magnum up on the Yellow Pages, the shadow on Magnum's body keeps changing depending on the camera angle. (00:03:45)

Sammo

Adelaide - S1-E14

Continuity mistake: Rick and TC glare at Magnum when he calls them his 'associates'; Rick turns with quite a bit of delay, and in the next shot, with Adelaide still talking in continuity, he's looking at her and not him. (00:03:25)

Almost Home - S3-E10

Magnum: I could appeal to his heart.
Lieutenant Maggie Poole: Yeah. And his stomach.
Magnum: Oh, come on! That food stuff, that was just an excuse. Listen, underneath that stomach was a heart as big as...that stomach.
