Magnum, P.I. mistake picture

The Look - S4-E9

Revealing mistake: In the big climax, TC's chopper flies up from the cliff surprising the baddie with the gun. You can get a good view then of the pilot, which is not TC, but a white guy in a black ski mask. (00:45:45)

Sammo

A Sense of Debt - S4-E8

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)

Sammo

The Case of the Red-Faced Thespian - S4-E12

Plot hole: Magnum mentions that he spoke "one hour ago" to Robin, getting the description of Lowell Xavier Jameson. All the suspects are at the estate, and Tanaka arrived, apparently with an arrest warrant for Higgins, when Magnum still hadn't spoken with Robin. Magnum did have to bargain for Tanaka to put off the operations by two hours; it does not make sense that he'd be around at the estate one 1 full hour more for unexplained reasons.

Sammo

Mac: Time has little to do with infinity and jelly donuts.
