Magnum, P.I.

Limited Engagement - S4-E5

Continuity mistake: Magnum sits on the couch's arm, by one of the sisters who is holding Higgins' book in her lap. On her lap, under the book, there's the handkerchief she used when she was having tea. In the closer angle, there's no hankie, while Madge's is open wider. (00:18:20)

Limited Engagement - S4-E5

Continuity mistake: Magnum creates a Rodin-esque stack of beer cans. His store manager lambasts him, and when they are looking at his creation, it looks different already - the can he put on top as finishing touch is missing, immediately noticeable. (00:02:15)

Magnum: I could appeal to his heart.
Lieutenant Maggie Poole: Yeah. And his stomach.
