Continuity mistake: Magnum offers to give the uppity girl some tour and introduce her "to some people." Wind flips through the pages as he says that, but the book she holds is perfectly open and still at the edge of the frame in the close-up. (00:05:20)

Magnum, P.I. (1980)
Continuity mistake: During the beach scene at the beginning, extras get recycled - look no further than the girl in pink/purple gradient bikini that runs from right to left a few times between shots. (00:03:45)

Magnum, P.I. (1980)
Continuity mistake: Higgins gets to the beach and lambastes Magnum for his "aggressively offensive attire" (on the beach, which is in fact absurd). During the scene, when the camera is on Selleck, in the background the weather is pretty cloudy, while in the wider angles there's bright sunlight on the beach and extras involved. (00:03:45)

Magnum, P.I. (1980)
Continuity mistake: Magnum gets out for a swim after the second sleepless night, carrying just a towel. He has a run-in with the lads, and spends all the time running away from them till Mac fetches him and they get back to the guest house. Magnum is now also wearing his Detroit Tigers cap and brought no towel back. (00:42:15 - 00:43:45)

Magnum, P.I. (1980)
Other mistake: In the opening credits, Clyde Kusatsu is listed as guest star playing "Colonel Ki." However in the end credits Robert Inouye (should be "Inoue", really) is "Colonel's Ky's driver." Ki seems a more plausible spelling, but it should be noted that in the actual episode, during the meeting when the Americans ask the General about returning the bodies buried in 'Nam, the nameplate of the absent Colonel says "Col. Ky Lan." (00:01:55 - 00:31:25)

Saint Seiya: Awakening
Character mistake: In the second Hell that Shaka puts in front of Ikki, he mentions "They are consumed their by hunger and greed", inverting two words.

Saint Seiya: Awakening
Character mistake: In the Human Realm on his way to face Virgo, Ikki meets Shun who tells him "I hope you can break through the rest on your", missing the word "own."

Magnum, P.I. (1980)
Other mistake: The sunset Magnum comments on and is featured in the opening shot of the scene has nothing to do with the actual light of the rest of said scene. (00:08:40)

Magnum, P.I. (1980)
Visible crew/equipment: For some reason, Higgins is quite defeated by Magnum reading the lie he obviously is willing to publish, and snarls "Name it" in response to his request for more of Mr. Masters' belongings. On the far end of the wall on the left side of the screen you can see the shadow of the boom mike move. (00:07:30)

Magnum, P.I. (1980)
Character mistake: When Magnum looks at the pictures Higgins gave him, he sees one with a flare that will require him to ask Higgins to do some movie photography magic to remove it. However next to it there's a picture with just a slight less zoom that has no such flare. Magnum for no reason entirely ignores it while he only needed to grab a magnifying glass instead of begging Higgins and wait for the film to be developed again. (00:29:30)

Magnum, P.I. (1980)
Other mistake: Colonel Ky fires his gun at Magnum a first time when he is picking up the handkerchief. In the background, a woman in brown is walking peacefully. Cut to scared crowd all over the place. Magnum turns the corner and from the new cover shoots a couple times at Ky. Next shot Ky returns fire, but it's just another take of the first shot; the woman in brown is again walking where she was, and reacts to the gunfight only at that point. (01:30:40)

Magnum, P.I. (1980)
Continuity mistake: In the sudden 'Nam flashback, the helicopter is hit and everyone starts shooting. Rick in close-up is shooting holding the M16 with his right hand for support and the left hand on the trigger, while in the following POV shot the person shooting is doing it the other way around. (00:16:15)
17th May 2020
Magnum, P.I. (1980)
Character mistake: Higgins holds his glass of brandy with Magnum's photos in the other hand and says "I don't know if you're pulling my leg, as you Yanks put it." It's really not an exclusively or typically US expression; in fact it originated in England. (00:27:35)
17th May 2020
Magnum, P.I. (1980)
Other mistake: In the scene in the study at the beginning of the episode, Magnum just ran from the ocean to the house, but his swimming trunks are barely wet at the border of the leg. (00:05:40)
17th May 2020
Magnum, P.I. (1980)
Continuity mistake: In the alley fight, TC runs chasing a bad guy past an upturned cart. He is slowed down by a guy with a hat; when he has his arms around his shoulders, you can see that Roger E. Mosley (or his leaner stunt double) is not wearing a bracelet on his right wrist anymore. (00:39:10)
17th May 2020
Magnum, P.I. (1980)
Audio problem: Magnum approaches Rick and TC at the table playing cards. TC's voice says "Fourteen bucks up on ya", but Roger E. Mosley's lips don't match and are the audio is Out of Sync, since he continues moving his mouth while Rick is saying something. (00:14:00)
17th May 2020
Magnum, P.I. (1980)
Continuity mistake: The blood on Magnum's shirt when he lies in the middle of the street changes from the beginning to the end. For instance, the corner of his collar has a more sparse bloodstain in the close-up rather than at the beginning. (01:33:30)
17th May 2020
Magnum, P.I. (1980)
Continuity mistake: There's a cut when General Hue flips Magnum on his back; the crowd witnessing the event changes from one shot to the next. (01:33:00)
17th May 2020
Magnum, P.I. (1980)
Continuity mistake: In the close-up of Magnum's hand on the ground, he is looking at Ky and Michelle's feet, but there's no other person lying on the ground, contrary to the rest of the scene. (01:32:20)
