Magnum, P.I.

One More Summer - S2-E16

Continuity mistake: The security guard spots the obsessive fan running through the seats. He shouts at him, and in the next shot the guy is running a couple rows lower than he was in the first shot. (00:37:45)

One More Summer - S2-E16

Continuity mistake: In the hot tub scene, Mrs. Greeley blackmails Dorsey in return for favours; during the conversation, David Wilson's mouth position/facial expressions transition from shot to shot with a spotty continuity all the way through. (00:25:00)

One More Summer - S2-E16

Continuity mistake: Pat Morita gets dunked in the pool (twice) and he is dripping wet, you can even see his black underwear through the shorts when he gets pulled up from it. Still, a couple of shots later he's nice and dry poolside with the exact same clothes and hat. (00:03:05)

One More Summer - S2-E16

Continuity mistake: When Coach Bell is talking to Dorsey's substitute and his wife at the party, the couple is in a different position in the two different camera angles mainly used; she casts a shadow on him in a different spot, with sunlight on his arms when the camera is over Bill Edwards' shoulder, and not in the other angle. (00:04:20)

One More Summer - S2-E16

Continuity mistake: The coach is talking to the number two QB, saying he's worried about the star. "I am too, sir", he replies. A blonde with a black swimsuit walks past him, but 5 seconds later she's doing the same. (00:04:20)

One More Summer - S2-E16

Continuity mistake: Mrs. Greeley turns around and watches Dorsey Bramlett on the hammock with a girl. He is gripping the net with his hand around the middle, but in the next shot and rest of the scene he is clinging to the top. (00:03:15)

One More Summer - S2-E16

Continuity mistake: When the title of the episode appears in the credits, there are 4 girls passing in front of the pool bar. One of them is very recognisable for her circlet in her hair, sporting purple and gold bikini and a ripped physique. That same girl, with or without the others, passes in front of the same bar several other times (at least 3) during the scene. (00:01:35)

One More Summer - S2-E16

Continuity mistake: In the opening scene the position of the girl in the inflatable chair is not coherent in the various views. In the establishing shot of the pool, she is in the corner of the part opposite the house, but then she is in a diagonally opposite spot, and later when Morita is clearing his throat to give his speech she has two different guys (not too far apart from each other but still in distinct position) by her feet. (00:01:40)

One More Summer - S2-E16

Continuity mistake: After his speech, the guys toss Jack Metro (Pat Morita) in the pool. Mrs. Eleanor Greeley is present in the faraway shot, and she has her shades in her right hand, but it cuts to a close-up of her going through her sexy chewing schtick holding them in her left hand. (00:02:50)

Italian Ice - S2-E15

Continuity mistake: Magnum shuns Katrina in her tennis uniform trying to plan his day ahead for him. He gets in the car, wearing his plain brown shirt and baseball hat. First shot as he drives to town, with the voiceover going "Other than being a bit presumptive..." etc, and the Magnum driving the Ferrari is hat-less and with a bright red Hawaiian shirt. Of course when he reaches the campus he's in the hat and brown shirt again. (00:19:35)

Italian Ice - S2-E15

Continuity mistake: When Magnum gets in the open theater, the natural light on the ramp is very different depending on the angle of shooting; it has a pronounced shadow of the parapet with strong sunlight, or nothing of the sort. (00:44:00)

Sammo

Italian Ice - S2-E15

Continuity mistake: Katrina puts down the perfectly developed picture of Magnum and Margo by the car. There's nothing specific next to the spot of the counter where the photo goes, but in close-up there's a pair of scissors just handy for her to do her bunny boiler routine with. (00:32:35)

Sammo

Italian Ice - S2-E15

Continuity mistake: Margos asks Magnum "Who's that?" seeing the chopper fly so low by the villa. Magnum is mostly off-frame but you can see his arm reach up to do the gesture he actually does only in the next shot - reach for his Detroit Tigers hat. (00:29:25)

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.
