When Mac goes to the church with Jimmy his jeep has no doors or roof. When we see him race back to the house boat his jeep has doors.

There's no computer on MacGyver's desk in the Houseboat, but 2 episodes later we see him using a computer on that very desk. It could be argued that he brought the computer between times, but if thats the case, what happened to the computer he had in the loft apartment?

Is it just me or did Mac take the world's fastest shower? In about 5 minutes he managed to go upstairs, strip, shower, dry off, re-dress and return downstairs.

I get that most men probably take faster showers than most women, but he shouldn't have been dressed and his hair completely dry by then.

You do know, MacGyver is a guy right? I guess that's your answer. Though I'm a long shower man myself. Maybe he simply just hosed himself of without wetting his head and changed his clothes. Fast nonetheless, yet Jimmy was able to make two calls. One call, Mac is in the shower, gets out between calls, talks to Jimmy, Jimmy makes the second call and by the time he finishes MacGyver is all freshened up fully dressed with tied shoes. While that one minute Von Leer mentions in Legend of the Holy Rose last like 5 minutes.

Even though he's a guy, I still think that was a little too fast, but I'm blaming it on television time. RDA probably wasn't actually showering in that scene. I don't know what the film set was like, but I can guess he might have walked out of the camera's range and just changed clothes, while saying his lines.

Navy shower. Two minutes, in and out. It's the kind of thing that eco-happy MacGyver would go in for.

So far the fastest shower I've ever taken is 7 minutes. Usually it takes alot longer. I like a nice hot shower that I don't need to rush in.

Macgyver probably would like to take cold showers for all the health benefits like improving immunity and making you feel more alert and refreshed at the end. I guess that might be a reason he does not like to linger in the shower. I also saw another potential mistake. The main bad guy in the episode... I forgot his name at the moment... but he yells out Macgyver is dead! I don't remember him ever hearing Macgyver's name. Maybe it was back in the season 2 episode when we first encountered these characters. I will have to go back and watch that.

His voice would have been added in post production and the scene would have been recorded in at least 2 takes, probably more. Usually a change of camera angle indicates a break in the filming either because of a goof of some sort or because the director wants to move camera's or make adjustments before continuing the scene. In this case I would suggest they might have filmed the 2 phone calls as separate scenes and RDA would have changed clothing in between the filming.
