The Arrow That Is Not Aimed - S3-E13
Revealing mistake: Facing an angry samurai swinging his sword John Belushi-style, Gallagher, the Tourist Shop Owner, wisely decides to hightail. When he shuts the door and when the angry Japanese touches said door to chase him, the whole wall shifts, revealing to be a set. (00:33:10)
The Arrow That Is Not Aimed - S3-E13
Continuity mistake: Magnum dives fully clothed to save Gallagher, the Tourist Shop Owner. Obviously he's soaking wet after that. Later at home, Magnum is sitting at the desk in the study wearing the same polo and jeans, bone dry. (00:35:00 - 00:36:10)
The Arrow That Is Not Aimed - S3-E13
Revealing mistake: Gallagher, the Tourist Shop Owner has been fished by Magnum but, as one of the doc workers says, he's been "Down there long time, bro, pretty bad shape" and he is "in intensive care, unconscious" later in the episode. However, just before the camera cuts away he opens his eyes. (00:35:10)
The Arrow That Is Not Aimed - S3-E13
Continuity mistake: After Tozan has finished everyone in berserk mode, the dead ninja closest to Magnum is lying down in different positions between shots. (00:43:15)
The Arrow That Is Not Aimed - S3-E13
Character mistake: At the end of the episode, Magnum says "You know what they say about samurai swords - you unsheathe 'em, you gotta draw blood!", but throughout the episode, Tozan drew his sword on Magnum and the villain and no blood has been drawn - in case of Magnum, there was no intention of it either.
The Arrow That Is Not Aimed - S3-E13
Other mistake: Magnum mispronounces the word 'seppuku' calling it it 'seppuki', prompting Higgins to correct him. He plays the role of the usual Westerner who is unfamiliar with the word and concept. But in the previous season, in 2-9, "The Taking of Dick McWilliams", not only he already had to deal with the prospect of ritual suicide, but he spontaneously mentioned the word himself ("Seppuku? You're willing to let your daughter kill herself?") with the other person simply mentioning a vague 'honorable thing to do'.
Basket Case - S3-E14
Continuity mistake: During Magnum's first team practice, light conditions change from cut to cut - for instance when the chubby kid in green says "Tell him we're not playing football", and pronounced shadows appear all of a sudden. (00:05:30)
Basket Case - S3-E14
Continuity mistake: After scoring between Magnum's legs, the kid walks away. Magnum calls her back, and they have a brief exchange. She keeps her ball against her side with her hand when viewed from behind, with her arm in the frontal. (00:07:00)
Basket Case - S3-E14
Continuity mistake: When Magnum and Wally talk about where's from and she namedrops Bill Walton, he has his hands on his hips or in front of his crotch depending on the two main angles. (00:07:30)
Basket Case - S3-E14
Visible crew/equipment: After Magnum annoys Higgins with the bouncing basketball he asks if the uniforms have arrived, and as Higgins starts walking the white T-mark is visible on the floor in front of the chalkboard. (00:08:55)
Basket Case - S3-E14
Continuity mistake: Magnum and Higgins are bickering over the choice of colour in the jerseys. In the first shot, the jersey is partially over the side of the box and Magnum's basketball is on the table. Second one, and the shirt is fully inside the box and Magnum holds the ball. Back to the first angle, and the previous status quo, next change and the shirt is back neatly folded in, etc. (00:09:10)
Basket Case - S3-E14
Continuity mistake: Magnum replies peeved to Higgins "I'm the coach, remember?", hand to his chest in close-up. Medium shot and he is pulling back from the chest his right hand, but in close-up it was his left hand. (00:09:35)
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: Magnum just unleashed the kids on Mr. Masters' tennis court repurposed for shooting hoops. After briefly explaining to Higgins the concept of something called 'kids', he blows his whistle. Sun on his chest in close-up, shadow in the wider angle. (00:13:35)
Basket Case - S3-E14
Continuity mistake: When Magnum on the way back from Robin's nest asks Theresa/Willie "the truth", she has her arms crossed in opposite ways (the right arm being on top first, the left arm in the reverse). (00:19:40)
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)
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: 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: 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: 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)
