Magnum, P.I.

Missing in Action - S1-E9

Visible crew/equipment: After Rick outsmarts Higgins about Magnum's right to use the club, when Magnum is shown to Eric's car the reflection of a crew member is visible in the passenger window just as Magnum looks at the back seat. Then when Magnum finds the claim check, there's lighting equipment visible at the upper left side of the screen. (00:26:50)

Missing in Action - S1-E9

Visible crew/equipment: When Newton and Magnum drive TC's van to where Laura is being held, Newton tells his friend to put the rifle down. At the start of the next shot the reflections of the cameraman (wearing a watch) and the camera are visible on the driver's side triangular window. Then as Magnum opens his door the camera follows his movements, and the reflection of the large reflector screen is visible on the van's windshield. (00:40:50)

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)

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)
