Other mistake: In the opening credits, Clyde Kusatsu is listed as guest star playing "Colonel Ki." However in the end credits Robert Inouye (should be "Inoue", really) is "Colonel's Ky's driver." Ki seems a more plausible spelling, but it should be noted that in the actual episode, during the meeting when the Americans ask the General about returning the bodies buried in 'Nam, the nameplate of the absent Colonel says "Col. Ky Lan." (00:01:55 - 00:31:25)
Other mistake: In the scene in the study at the beginning of the episode, Magnum just ran from the ocean to the house, but his swimming trunks are barely wet at the border of the leg. (00:05:40)
Other mistake: The sunset Magnum comments on and is featured in the opening shot of the scene has nothing to do with the actual light of the rest of said scene. (00:08:40)
Other mistake: The US delegation pops from behind some trees with military copters that are explicitly presented as deafeningly noisy; it's just silly and internally contradictory. Even if we forget how underplayed helicopter noise often is in Hollywood, here we go from zero to thunderous in a split second. (00:21:40)
Other mistake: Magnum and his bride seek shelter under table during the bombardment; if it happened the way it is shown, with a model completely torn to pieces, and with flames in frame during the first table shot, they would surely not be able to stay there, nor would have taken refuge there to begin with - if the roof did not kill them already falling on them. (00:25:10)
Other mistake: In the streets of Little Saigon in the climax with TC and Rick involved, you can spot the same passersby they met with Magnum a couple days before, same clothes and all. (01:30:35)
Other mistake: Colonel Ky fires his gun at Magnum a first time when he is picking up the handkerchief. In the background, a woman in brown is walking peacefully. Cut to scared crowd all over the place. Magnum turns the corner and from the new cover shoots a couple times at Ky. Next shot Ky returns fire, but it's just another take of the first shot; the woman in brown is again walking where she was, and reacts to the gunfight only at that point. (01:30:40)
