Magnum, P.I.

No Need to Know - S1-E5

Continuity mistake: When Magnum works on picking the lock to his own home, the plant next to the door is the characteristic Swiss cheese plant; it has 'holes' in the leaves. The dogs arrive and scratch at the door, and the plant is now a different one. The table and chair appear also to have moved - probably it's footage from a totally different moment or location.

No Need to Know - S1-E5

Continuity mistake: Magnum says "Hi guys!" to Zeus and Apollo through the door; the blue fabric of his duffel bag shows through the hole, but when he gets grabbed and frisked from behind, the bag is away from the door's hole. (00:05:10)

No Need to Know - S1-E5

Continuity mistake: Two dudes bend Magnum over the railing the moment he gets inside the guest house. His arm is restrained behind his back at first, then all of a sudden his arm is in front of the railing, but it's bent behind his back as it gets back to the overhead angle from before. (00:05:20)

No Need to Know - S1-E5

Continuity mistake: Magnum reaches the bottom of the stairs of 'his' quarters and makes a bitter comment about Robin's taste in guests. In the shot with just the two girls, the one with the jacket is glancing with her arms folded; they were relaxed down her sides before the cut. (00:06:30)

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.
