Notes

¹ A milestone has been reached - This is the 100th Syndicated Episode of the series!

² After the opening credits, there is short recap of the events of part one. Tom Selleck opens the recap with the following narration: "Last week on Part One, All For One." This is a first for the series!

³ The on-screen title of this episode is "All For One, Part II", with no brackets. The previous two-part episode, "Echoes Of The Mind" (5.2), had "Part II" in brackets.

⁴ Rick enlisted in the Marines in 1969 after the World Series and joined Magnum's team in 'Nam "around Christmas time" of that year. He replaced "Cookie" (the POW who is killed by Col. Ivan in the flashback scenes of "Did You See the Sunrise? (1)") as T.C.'s door gunner. Growing up in Chicago, Rick was a huge Cubs fan. He hasn't been to a Cubs game since he enlisted in the Marines. He names several Cubs players, including Ernie Banks, Don Kessinger, and Ron Santo.

⁵ Rick is seen using a Detonics CombatMaster .45 ACP semi-automatic pistol in this episode. (ID'd by MaximRecoil)

⁶ Kengi, a Robin's Nest workman, is seen raking the tidal pool beach. He also makes brief appearances in "No Need to Know" (1.5), "Computer Date" (2.14), "Echoes of the Mind (2)" (5.2), "Blind Justice" (5.7), "Professor Jonathan Higgins" (5.13) & "Ms. Jones" (5.19).

⁷ Rick apparently has the rare AB Negative blood type (present in only 1% of the population), because Higgins gives him a partial blood transfusion with his own blood, which is AB Negative (Season Two's "Italian Ice").

Quotes

¹
Tyler: Outasight!

²
Magnum: ...and this captain, he just...looked at us sitting there in the chopper. And he knew we'd ripped him off and knew there wasn't a damn thing he could do about it. But he had Eddie, so he took out his pistol...smiled...and blew Eddie's head off. I'll always remember the look on his face.
Higgins: Eddie's?
Magnum: No, the Captain's. He's a Major now. I didn't put it all together until he smiled, but he's the same man who's torturing Tyler McKinney right now.

Flubs

¹ When T.C. is starting the old helicopter, we see a shot of him flicking some switches, and then of him giving a "thumbs up" to Joe. He is wearing a gold bracelet on his right wrist. Yet, in the next shot we see him turning the helicopter's ignition switch and the bracelet is gone.

² When Magnum, T.C., Rick, Higgins and Tyler start shooting at the bandits from the boat, watch the crate next to Magnum. It has bullet holes in it, but then about 5 seconds later it doesn't. It alternates between having holes and not having holes a few times. (Noted by seahawks1)
