Magnum, P.I.

Home from the Sea - S4-E1

Visible crew/equipment: During the flashback, while Magnum is on the longboard paddling five miles to the island, the chopper is flying over the open ocean when TC starts talking to himself about Magnum bucking for a section-8, and as the chopper's nose moves upward the reflection of set lighting, etc, can be seen on the windshield.

Luther Gillis: File #521 - S4-E2

Visible crew/equipment: After Tanaka gives Magnum one day to come up with answers, it cuts to Magnum and Luther in the Ferrari. In the shots facing Magnum, visible on his sunglasses are the reflections of filming equipment equipment directly in front of the windshield, as well as attached to the driver's side door. The device on the door is a bit visible again twice, after they're released from jail the second time, and after Luther's visit to the ER. (00:28:55)

Distant Relative - S4-E4

Visible crew/equipment: After Rick slugs Magnum at the beach, it cuts to Higgins fixing his broken miniature airplane at his desk, then just as the mini airplane collapses onto the desk, a crew member's right hand (presumably he was holding up the airplane's tail) with a ring on the index finger, is visible at the right side of the screen.

Letter to a Duchess - S4-E6

Visible crew/equipment: Magnum stops in front of the bar building on the beach of the King Kamehameha club asking his friends about his odds. They laugh him off, of course. In Tom Selleck's close-ups you can spot in the sunglasses TC's reflection far in distance with his yellow polo, but there's a man standing much closer that shouldn't be there. (00:04:10)

Squeeze Play - S4-E7

Visible crew/equipment: During softball practice and the practice with Killer, there are moments where there are visible rectangular outlines of the hidden mic transmitter on a player's back. Two examples are, when Magnum is up at bat Rick bends over to pick up a ball and the bulge is on Rick's back, and when Lola slams her bag of tip money into Killer and she bends over him the bulge is on Lola's back.

A Sense of Debt - S4-E8

Visible crew/equipment: After TC crashes into the pigpen fence he offers to take Leon to the hospital, and just as TC lifts Ima and places her inside the Ferrari, the tip of the low boom microphone is visible as it moves, at the left side of the screen. (00:05:10)

Super Grover

Operation: Silent Night - S4-E10

Visible crew/equipment: When TC first starts singing "Under the Boardwalk" while he's fixing the chopper, just as he leans over the toolbox, the legs of a crew member wearing jeans are visible under the chopper, at the left side of the screen. It cannot be Rick, who's wearing white slacks, or Higgins, who's wearing his typical trousers, or Magnum, who's in shorts since he removed the Santa suit. (00:15:55)

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.
