Plot hole: The villains need to smuggle a bunch of drugs in the island. Their brilliant plan is; bring along a junkie who is wanted by the Navy but happens to have a friend who flies a chopper, trust that this guy will risk his life for the junkie to go get him at night and smuggle him in the country, and load the guy's heli with drugs while he's on the ship to fetch the junkie. Then, as he's flying the helicopter full of drugs, rat him out to the coast guard so they arrest him, ruining him so his chopper gets on auction, and they can buy the chopper back, with its load of drugs. There's just so much wrong with this plan already (why do everything so he's caught? The drugs can be retrieved later at night from the super-easy-to-reach compartment), add to that the fact that they even give as send-off to the junkie a giant bag of drugs, worth easily in the 6 figures; if they catch a drug addict with such a load of dope, they are bound to search the chopper - but really, they should have anyway.

Continuity mistake: When Magnum drops the ring out of the envelope, nothing is near it as it's shaking. In the close up shot, it's next to keys. (00:44:20)
Higgins: How fiendishly deceptive of you, Magnum. I could have sworn I was hearing the emasculation of a large rodent. To my great surprise, I see the sounds are emanating from what I thought was a harmless musical instrument.
Magnum: Cute Higgins, real cute.
Higgins: Why Magnum? Why do this terrible thing?
Magnum: Higgins, I'll have you know I used to be very good. I was the second best sax player in my High School band!
Higgins: Well, how many sax players were there?!
Magnum: ...Anyway. I just saw this in a pawn shop window and thought I'd like to try and get my chops back.
Higgins: May I suggest that your "chops" are irretrievable.
Magnum: Higgins, did you come here just to abuse me!? (00:05:25)
Trivia: At the awards ceremony, three men seated at a table together resemble three detectives from 1970s TV shows. Detective Mike Stone (played by Karl Malden) from ABC's Streets of San Francisco; Detective Frank Columbo (played by Peter Falk) from NBC's Columbo; and Detective Theo Kojak (played by Telly Savalas) from CBS's Kojak.
