Magnum, P.I. (1980)

Legend of the Lost Art - S8-E10

Revealing mistake: In the cave, after Magnum bangs on the ground the hidden door opens, and when he lights another torch flame, the end of the cave set is visible at the right side of the screen. Also, in the previous shot Magnum is not wearing his watch when the door opens, then it suddenly appears on his wrist when he crawls through the doorway. (00:03:45)

Missing Melody - S7-E11

Revealing mistake: When TC and Bryant leave Agent Estin's office it cuts to TC's van on the highway, and as we hear Magnum in the voiceover talking about his dad's advice, "to call the monsters out," we can see the shadow of the helicopter filming this footage. (00:08:20)

Under World - S5-E5

Revealing mistake: In the opening shots of TC's helicopter, in one shot there are two helicopter shadows being cast on the water below, one shadow is TC's chopper and the other shadow is the filming chopper. The helicopter also changes between the T-tailed, Y-tailed, and different type skids. (00:01:30)

The Eighth Part of the Village - S3-E3

Revealing mistake: When Sato arrives at the estate he exits the car then walks with his two guards towards Higgins, and in the wide shot as Higgins and Sato face each other for the first time, note all the small branches strategically placed on the grass to mark the four actors' proper positions for blocking the shot.

Texas Lightning - S2-E17

Revealing mistake: When TC, Rick, and Higgins rescue Magnum and JL in the chopper, TC is wearing a short sleeve light blue tee shirt, but once they take off with Magnum hanging onto the side of the chopper, in Magnum's closeup TC is wearing a yellow tee shirt. Also note, the pilot in this shot is wearing dark brown spandex-type long sleeves under his short sleeved yellow tee shirt, to give the appearance of being the same skin color as TC. (00:39:20)

Computer Date - S2-E13

Revealing mistake: When Magnum chases after Randolph at the airport tarmac and finally catches him, there's an outline of elbow pads on Magnum's sleeves. Earlier, there was a shot from behind Magnum as he pulled the gun from his waistband, and his sleeves were normal.

Mad Buck Gibson - S2-E8

Revealing mistake: At the King Kamehameha Club, while Joan Gibson is sitting at the table, there are at least two wires crudely attached to the bottom of the tablecloth preventing the wind from blowing it upward, and disrupting filming of the outdoor scene.

All Roads Lead to Floyd - S1-E13

Revealing mistake: While Magnum is a passenger in Floyd's car, in the closeups of both of them with Floyd at the steering wheel, there is black cloth over the door beside Floyd (presumably covering the device that secures the side camera to the door), which does not exist in wide shots.

Iron Man 2 (2010)

Iron Man 2 mistake picture

Revealing mistake: When Tony goes to the bathroom and scans his blood toxicity, the Tony who faces the camera is supposed to be his reflection in the mirror, but the problem is the reflection is not reversed because it's not a mirror image, note Tony's clothing. Also, note how he scanned his right hand's finger, but then in the "mirror" he's sucking on his left hand's pricked finger. (00:28:30)

Heaven is in Your Genes - S3-E6

Revealing mistake: While Ralph is in mid-air, en route to the airport cafe, something dips into view at the top left corner of the screen. Then when Ralph takes off from that cafe, two shots later as he's in mid-air, we can see the shadow of the helicopter filming the background stock footage, but it's been flipped so the helicopter is flying backwards, and when more background footage is shown again the helicopter shadow is flying properly. (00:13:15)
