Revealing mistake: In the aerial shot of the helicopter signaling the death of Merlin, its registration numbers are mirrored. (00:45:15)
Factual error: Higgins frightens the parrot with his peregrine falcon call, and the parrot flies away. The sky is a fairly big place though, and TC's helicopter is far away, so the fact that it'd be sucked in (that's not how helicopters work), maimed and somehow explode in a puff of (clean) feathers that instantly and calmly float down is borderline cartoon slapstick. (00:45:20)
Revealing mistake: In the Birdemic-like scene when Magnum barely escapes with his life from a deadly parrot before Higgins squeals it into suicide, our hero has multiple bleeding from lacerations on his arms that disappear one shot later, leaving room to face laceration who disappear in the following scene. (00:45:15)
Continuity mistake: Emily reaches the end of the road and stops the Robin-3. The parrot climbs on her arm, the part above her elbow, but when she steps out he is on her forearm. (00:38:40)
Continuity mistake: After dinner and much champagne, Elizabeth Barrett is in the study. In close-up she puts to the side a page while she checks the left; in the following one the right hand, holding the page, is hovering. (00:15:40)
Continuity mistake: When Elizabeth tells Higgins that she'll be working nights in 'his' study and they may jog together, she holds the champagne bottle with a hand wrapped around its neck at a distance from the rim that varies between shots. (00:11:45)
Continuity mistake: Higgins is speaking with Robin's former teacher at the airport; she has her index finger outstretched in front views, curled in the respective reverse shots. (00:08:30)
Continuity mistake: A puzzled Higgins spots the drunk and disorderly Elizabeth Barrett sitting on the cart, champagne in hand. He greets her; when he states his actual name dispelling any rumor of him being a seagull, you can see a woman with a very colourful (rainbow, in fact) sweater walk behind him. The same woman passes another time, and is also at the conveyor belt, opposite side of the hall. (00:07:40)
Basket Case - S3-E14
Continuity mistake: Higgins finishes chalking the tactic drawing of the "floating defence" adding the missing arrow in close-up. However, the other arrows also changed, being different in size. (00:10:30)
Basket Case - S3-E14
Continuity mistake: The reaction shot showing Willie as her teammate botches the fateful 2 points shows in the background TC and the supporters of the other team already celebrating when the ball has not gone out yet. (00:45:05)
Basket Case - S3-E14
Revealing mistake: Magnum's team loses by some extraordinarily bad luck, since the whole laws of physics conspire against him; the ball hits the hoop following a counterclockwise motion without going in, but in the last shot, when it flies away, it is spinning clockwise. (00:45:10)
Basket Case - S3-E14
Other mistake: During the game, Willie scores the 38-34 point according to the close-up of the electronic board, but in the wide angle when she actually shoots it, the score appears to be 30-31...from 30-30, which is odd, since it was a 2-point shot. (00:43:00)
Basket Case - S3-E14
Continuity mistake: When Vera, the Foster Mother is surprised by the lights being switched on, she turns around a full 180°. She is only partially turned in the next shot. (00:40:45)
Basket Case - S3-E14
Continuity mistake: Magnum protests that he's an adult, and so Higgins pours him a full glass of wine instead of just half. Magnum before the cut brings his left hand to the glass, but it's gone in the new shot. (00:38:45)
Basket Case - S3-E14
Continuity mistake: Magnum chases Willie down the road where she was trying to hitch a ride. When the talk, continuity issues arise aplenty, mostly with Magnum's hands being either on his hips or or not, but also with his whistle being caught in the collar of the polo at times. (00:34:00)
Basket Case - S3-E14
Continuity mistake: When Willie shouts at Magnum to try and win the game by himself, one of the kids behind her has his arms crossed, which instantly uncross at the cut. (00:32:15)
Basket Case - S3-E14
Continuity mistake: Magnum is confronting Willie after she arrives over one hour late; during the scene, Tom Selleck' is with his hands on his hips, or with his arms relaxed down the sides, no continuity between shots, even pointing at her when he did not move his arm before. (00:30:40)
Basket Case - S3-E14
Continuity mistake: Magnum is frustrated because Willie is late and he knows he's been lying to him. Higgins tries to calm him down; while they are talking, the string of Magnum's whistle runs on the inside or the outside of the left collar of his polo. (00:29:00)
Basket Case - S3-E14
Continuity mistake: Willie is in the car with her creepy stepfather; Dana Hill has her arm on the car window when the camera is from the driver side, and not when it's out of the passenger window. (00:28:00)
Basket Case - S3-E14
Continuity mistake: Rick pulls Magnum and TC apart before they (maybe) come to blows. He has both hands pressed against TC's chest, but with a notebook in his left in the first shot, in the right hand in the next. (00:26:20)
