Continuity mistake: Duke Davis hands Magnum his umbrella, hook of the handle facing his left. It faces his right in the close-up of an ecstatic Magnum. (00:09:25)

Magnum, P.I. (1980)
Other mistake: The accountant first, then some minutes later the prince and princess arrive at the estate. They are bone dry despite the hurricane outside complete with pouring rain noises and strong winds. (00:05:35)

Magnum, P.I. (1980)
Other mistake: The Prince and Princess of Turbia are, according to Higgins, "Fixtures at Robin Masters' parties." Makes no sense then that they have no idea how Higgins looks like, since it's established that he's been taking care of the estate for over a decade - of course, Masters does not reside in Hawaii himself a lot, but earlier in the episode it is established that he runs those parties at his villa yearly.

Magnum, P.I. (1980)
Character mistake: Higgins addresses constantly the Prince and Princess of Turbia as "Your Majesty." For an expert of protocol as Higgins, it's quite odd to make such a mistake; "Your Majesty" is used for royalty with a rank higher than Prince (kings, emperors). Paradoxically, Magnum gets it right, calling both "Your Highness." (00:06:30)

Magnum, P.I. (1980)
Revealing mistake: The fight scene with Magnum and TC has several shots with the real Tom Selleck and Roger E. Mosley, but the wide angles have been shot with the usual leaner stunt doubles. Magnum's double's face can be seen distinctly as he swings for the first punch, and he will appear later in the episode, uncredited. (00:12:25)

Magnum, P.I. (1980)
Character mistake: As he takes the elevator for the garage, Magnum's hat gets caught in the elevator doors before the camera cuts away. It's all fine on his head when he gets out. (00:42:15)

Magnum, P.I. (1980)
Factual error: It is stated in the episode twice that Rod 'did time' in Camarillo, but Camarillo does not have a penitentiary, just a jail and (had at the time) a State mental hospital, neither compatible with his 18 months sentence for growing weed. (00:25:00)

Magnum, P.I. (1980)
Trivia: The man that Ms. Gordon, Parole Officer mistakes for Magnum, and that later he admits "sort of look alike" is Tom Lupo, a stunt coordinator and most importantly Tom Selleck's stunt double for this very series. (00:22:35)

Magnum, P.I. (1980)
Continuity mistake: When Stuart Margolin shows Magnum a photo of his kid, the photo in close-up is entirely different from the one that Magnum was supposedly looking at. (00:06:35)
28th Apr 2020
Magnum, P.I. (1980)
Continuity mistake: During the chaotic fight at the end of the episode, the guns are all very close together in a close-up view used a few times, but in wider angles they are spread around much more, from the beginning. (00:45:05)
28th Apr 2020
Magnum, P.I. (1980)
Continuity mistake: Rod's tackle on the baddie happens twice in two separate shots, and his left hand clings to different spots - the arm in the first, the torso in the next. (00:45:00)

Magnum, P.I. (1980)
Visible crew/equipment: On the roof of the building, Magnum shuts the door of TC's chopper saying "What are you gonna do? Land on him with your helicopter?" Inside the door's reflection, there's the filming crew. (00:40:50)
28th Apr 2020
Magnum, P.I. (1980)
Continuity mistake: After Magnum's adventure with the change at the coffee pot, he comes back to Rod and the parole officer. When Rod puts his hand on the phone to prevent her from calling the narcs, Ms. Gordon has the receiver in her lap. New shot and it's up and she lowers it only then. (00:29:50)
28th Apr 2020
Magnum, P.I. (1980)
Continuity mistake: Magnum and Rod are talking about what happened; Rod is having a smoke and denies growing pot again. In close-ups, Tom Selleck's head casts a shadow to his right, but in the wide angles the shadow is on the opposite shoulder. (00:25:40)
28th Apr 2020
Magnum, P.I. (1980)
Continuity mistake: Rod tells Magnum the story of how he went into jail and his wife divorced him. He says that "it happens" and massages his temples. In the next shot the pose is similar but he is leaning with his forehead against the back of the hand. (00:25:30)

Other mistake: One of the available relationships between characters is called "Leona approved weakling team." The description says that it increases ATK and then "deals additional damage equal to 3% of damage dealt upon attacking Leona", but it can't be right, simply because Leona is not part of that team! "Leona-approved" is simply a flavour text as she is story-wise the one who puts those potential members in that particular tier.

Saint Seiya: Awakening
Other mistake: The game mode facing enemies of growing difficulty with two different parties is called "Trials of Athena", but in parts of the game (such as the daily activity quest recap) it becomes "Trails of Athena."

Saint Seiya: Awakening
Character mistake: The side story showing Aiolia trying to meet with the Grand Pope has a few minor mistakes (such as "I've need to meet with the GP", to Aphrodite).

Other mistake: One of the questions Kraken Isaac can pose to the player is "Who are the other two?" It is obviously missing the first part; other two what?
