Other mistake: Fun gag but does not make sense; Magnum has a prolonged conversation at the bar (not a random brief chance encounter) with Lou Whitaker and Alan Trammel, and he, a huge Tigers Fan who in other episodes proved to be able to recognize obscure players from other past teams, needs the bartender to tell him who they were. (00:27:30)
Continuity mistake: Magnum and TC are talking at the beginning of the episode, by Rick and his peachy polo. Magnum has always his hands on his hips in TC's close-ups and in front of his belly in the wider angle shots. (00:02:15)
Visible crew/equipment: When TC pulls the van up to the estate gate, he and Leon walk over to the gate, and the white tape mark is visible on the ground in front of the gate. (00:05:35)
Visible crew/equipment: After TC crashes into the pigpen fence he offers to take Leon to the hospital, and just as TC lifts Ima and places her inside the Ferrari, the tip of the low boom microphone is visible as it moves, at the left side of the screen. (00:05:10)
Continuity mistake: Throughout the episode, which covers a timespan of a couple of weeks, the various patrons of the bar/club where the fights take place for the most part are around for every match, which is not out of the ordinary but...wearing the same clothes too, that's more unusual.
Continuity mistake: When Higgins calls "Buster" and "Bobby K", a strong shadow appears on his forehead in the wider angles, nothing of the sort in close-ups. (00:47:35)
Revealing mistake: When the brawl in Charlie's office begins, Tom Selleck changes into his stuntman who can be seen as he quickly stands and punches a goon. (00:41:50)
Audio problem: Magnum poses as an envoy from Icepick. When he takes his feet off the desk, he says an "Okay" that the microphone struggles to pick up. (00:41:05)
Continuity mistake: Magnum is talking with the landlady in Chicago. He sneaks a peek of the Tigers game on TV. In the wider angle the newspaper in front of the TV is folded revealing different letters than in the close-ups, where it's tightly pressed. (00:19:25)
Audio problem: During the first match, Rick shouts "Attaboy, TC!" from the corner but Larry Manetti pops in frame during the dodge, lips closed. (00:16:05)
Continuity mistake: Claude rings a cowbell to announce the contenders. Amongst the patrons, recognizable and featured prominently is a local girl with a brown dress and white shoulderstraps. She is shouting and cheering in a frontal view, drink in hand, but she is also sitting in another seat, smoking, in the shots from behind. (00:14:50)
Continuity mistake: TC is accepted as replacement and tells Claude the announcer his boxing credentials. During the wide shots, Shannen Doherty's hair runs to the sleeve of her shirt, does not in close-ups. (00:14:00)
Audio problem: When Charlie Amos says "No time to promote you" questioning TC's proposal to replace Leon, the sentence is dubbed in, having different audio quality from the rest. (00:13:55)
Continuity mistake: Shannen Doherty does some fine emotional blackmail on TC chasing him as he is leaving after just finding out about the boxing being of the bareknuckle kind. During this scene TC's boot on his chest changes orientation without being touched, from tip to the left ("You just gotta help me") to right ("Do you know how bad he can get hurt?") to left again. (00:13:15)
Continuity mistake: First scene in Higgins' study. Leon Platt is determined to go on with his fights even injured. He has his good hand on his daughter Ima's shoulder. She tells him "No daddy, you can't!" as he removes the hand, but in the following close-up on Shannen Doherty, the hand is back on the shoulder. (00:08:25)
Continuity mistake: Higgins through the intercom asks "TC, why are you here?" TC lowers his left hand - he had his thumb near the intercom button before, now he put it on the card. New shot, and he's back sticking his thumb up. (00:06:25)
Revealing mistake: During the crash through the fence, the front of the Ferrari has a mockup in the front; the left direction indicator falls off outright, but it is just broken when TC and the new two passengers take off. (00:04:40)
Revealing mistake: All the 'boxing' in the episode is unrealistic pure 80s Hollywood hot camp garbage, but the finishing blow of the final match in particular is miles off, bad even for the low standards of that sort of 'action'. (00:44:10)
Continuity mistake: When TC hulks up from the stool for his last round, Rick has his right hand on the towel, which becomes the left hand as TC parries yet another haymaker. (00:43:40)
Continuity mistake: When the champion sends TC flying with some sort of flamboyant knee to the face, before TC gets to the ground you can see the towel on the top rope being quite distant from the turnbuckle. In the rest of the scene it is right by it. (00:42:45)
