The Taking of Dick McWilliams - S2-E9
Revealing mistake: In the close-ups during the fight with Mr. Nishimoto, Tom Selleck is giggling and having a good time while an old army buddy of his just died and he supposedly fights to save his widow from spilling her guts on the floor. (00:45:20)
The Taking of Dick McWilliams - S2-E9
Revealing mistake: As Mitsu's dad begins to do all sort of crazy karate roundhouse stuff, Tom Selleck transforms into his stunt double to better face the menace. You can see his face distinctly when he dodges. (00:45:20)
The Taking of Dick McWilliams - S2-E9
Factual error: Mitsu comes from a strict family of Japanese heritage who stay true to the culture, donning the oriental garb and unequivocally showing that she follows the tradition, but she does not even know how to pronounce "Arigato" correctly. (00:43:00)
The Taking of Dick McWilliams - S2-E9
Continuity mistake: Magnum asks Kaholo who knew about the island. At the cut, the hand with the money changes position, considerably higher. (00:42:15)
The Taking of Dick McWilliams - S2-E9
Continuity mistake: TC has Kaholo pinned against the building after his attempt to escape. His hand is above or under the window frame depending on the camera angle. (00:41:45)
The Taking of Dick McWilliams - S2-E9
Revealing mistake: During the various scenes in flight, TC's shades reflect a still landscape with hills even when he makes wild maneuvers or flies over the ocean.
The Taking of Dick McWilliams - S2-E9
Continuity mistake: Magnum and TC are doing recon on the thirteen islands; the chopper has flotation pads on the skids when it flies over the ocean and approaches the islands in panoramic views, but the normal slim skids when they finally find the hideout and land by it. (00:39:30)
The Taking of Dick McWilliams - S2-E9
Other mistake: Magnum asks the drunk woman about her car, and tells her that it was seen "today at twelve noon." Two scenes later, Kaholo tells Dick that someone visited Gloria "today" asking her who was driving the car "yesterday." (00:24:50)
The Taking of Dick McWilliams - S2-E9
Continuity mistake: Rick is on the phone with "Shakey" while TC, who spotted his black eye, is pestering him about it. Rick's hand with the piece of paper changes height between shots. (00:22:10)
The Taking of Dick McWilliams - S2-E9
Continuity mistake: When the chopper follows the group of cars, their number changes between shots (5 in the widest aerial shot, 7 from the camera car). (00:19:00)
The Taking of Dick McWilliams - S2-E9
Continuity mistake: In the tunnel scene, the shadows at the end do not match -at all - between the different angles - in fact, the whole road is different, it's now more of a mountain road, the other parallel street disappeared. (00:18:00)
The Taking of Dick McWilliams - S2-E9
Revealing mistake: In the shot meant to show TC's chopper coming near the tunnel exit, the movement is not consistent with the handling of the chopper, not even within the maneuverability of it. (00:18:00)
The Taking of Dick McWilliams - S2-E9
Continuity mistake: In the wedding night flashback, Mitsu puts her hand on Dick's chest, with the fingers that either poke above the undone tie, or don't, depending on the angle. (00:13:30)
The Taking of Dick McWilliams - S2-E9
Continuity mistake: In the hotel suite, Dick says "I bet you that the bed is round" etc. Mitsu puts her right hand on top of the left looking at him and listening. Close-up, and it's the other way around, it's the left on top. (00:12:10)
The Taking of Dick McWilliams - S2-E9
Continuity mistake: Magnum is busy doing his taxes with TC on the couch when Higgins arrives. Throughout the scene, the position of Magnum's calculator on the table changes between shots. (00:05:30)
Continuity mistake: Magnum is pouring sweat at the beginning of the episode, with a huge sweatstain at the front of his tanktop. He's wearing the same one when he talks to his client, but it's all dry. (00:03:00)
Revealing mistake: Magnum just set foot in the bar, and finds TC and Rick there. Buck puts the crutch against the back of the couch, but it won't stay still, so Darren McGavin tries again. This time, a stagehand just out of frame catches it and draws it out of frame. (00:19:40)
Visible crew/equipment: Gibson crashed the Ferrari into the goat fence. Magnum stops the Audi and walks out to help him. Inside the passenger side mirror, the hand of the cameraman can be spotted. (00:34:55)
Other mistake: Magnum needs to stop Buck, and asks Higgins for the keys to the Audi. Higgins just happens to have the keys in his pocket, which makes no sense, since he keeps them in a drawer inside the study, and can't just wander about all day with all the keys to all of Robin Masters' vehicles inside his pants. (00:33:00)
Revealing mistake: When he trades some punches with the big guy in the bar in a fast paced sequence, back to the camera, "TC" is a good 20 pounds lighter. (00:23:05)
