Magnum, P.I.

Thank Heaven for Little Girls and Big Ones Too - S1-E4

Visible crew/equipment: At the start, when Apollo and Zeus surprise Magnum in the wine cellar it cuts to Higgins smiling at Magnum's scream, and in this shot we can see lighting equipment at the right side of the screen, which is again visible when both Higgins and Magnum return from the wine cellar. Then when Higgins walks over to answer the phone, a bit more equipment is visible at the left side of the screen. (00:02:50)

China Doll - S1-E3

Visible crew/equipment: After Magnum reads the note he kneels down in front of Han to console him, and as the next long shot zooms out in front of the beautiful scarlet macaw parrot, a piece of lighting equipment becomes visible in the background, at the left side of the screen. (00:34:20)

Don't Eat the Snow in Hawaii - S1-E1

Visible crew/equipment: After Magnum just barely gets into the Ferrari before Higgins' beauties get hold of him, when the alarm goes off Magnum punches in a code. In the next shot, at the left side of the screen, we can see a crew member (presumably the dog trainer) wearing a dark shirt standing beside the dogs, before Higgins or the two women are anywhere near the car.

J.'Digger' Doyle - S1-E17

Visible crew/equipment: During the fake accident, in the semi-POV shoot with the camera behind the wheel, you can spot roadside the film unit (crew and equipment) that filmed the previous shot, with the car cutting the bike's path. (00:27:00)

Don't Say Goodbye - S1-E15

Visible crew/equipment: Magnum lost the car he was chasing. He comes across a police car and stops at the crossroads to avoid getting stuck giving too many explanations. The road is outside of town and kinda in the middle of nowhere, but in the side mirror there's a bunch of people watching the scene. (00:16:20)

Lest We Forget - S1-E10

Visible crew/equipment: Driving through an alley in present day jogs the memory of Judge Caine. On the right of the frame though (and left side of the Ferrari) you can see a contraption where the camera car for the fade-out shot is mounted. (00:24:55)

Almost Home - S3-E10

Magnum: I could appeal to his heart.
Lieutenant Maggie Poole: Yeah. And his stomach.
Magnum: Oh, come on! That food stuff, that was just an excuse. Listen, underneath that stomach was a heart as big as...that stomach.
