Re: What's your favorite version of the King Kamehameha Club?

That's a good question but I think I like the Elks Lodge version best too. And, of course, the infamous "beach bar". I think it was 6 or 7 different locations they used. Strange that they changed this that often. I also always wondered why the "entrance shot" location (Marks estate) was used as the ...

Re: CBS Canceled the Reboot

I'm actually surprised it even got to 4 seasons.
It was missing pretty much any of the Magnum "spirit" that made the original show so unique.
Sad to think it likely made the chance of a movie or good spin-off (Magnum's daughter...) happening much lower.

Re: US Blu-ray release of the complete series, March 22nd, 2022

I've been looking for a way to purchase this, but haven't found it yet. Anybody got a link? Sure, I ordered mine from Amazon US: https://www.amazon.com/Magnum-P-I-Complete-Tom-Selleck/dp/B09NL64GYC But I guess it's available from other stores too in the US. Regarding the mentions of darker areas ap...

Re: US Blu-ray release of the complete series, March 22nd, 2022

Good ideas, this is helpful. It will be interesting to see how the Elephant Films release compares. Also would be interesting to know if the US release improves on providing a more consistent level of quality (perhaps with its own limitations) across the series, compared to the variable quality of ...

Re: US Blu-ray release of the complete series, March 22nd, 2022

Or, the German is the original and the syndicated re-ordered some scenes.... Yeah, I guess that's pretty likely. Also: No, no opening/end credits in the middle. Yes, end credits montage with Universal-TV-switch-off included. English audio track is included too of course, english subtitles as well.

Re: US Blu-ray release of the complete series, March 22nd, 2022

I just calculated it; the 92:39 minutes translate to 96:36 minutes original ntsc length. Comparing between the UK BR (2 parts) and my german DVD (one part, "1+2"), I think they at least changed some scenes. For example, on the DVD the scene where Magnum asks Higgins if he's actually Robin ( :higgins...

Re: US Blu-ray release of the complete series, March 22nd, 2022

So, concerning "Resolutions": I just checked it on my german DVD set and here it is in one part but the box lists it as "Resolutions, Part 1+2" so I guess it's just the syndicated version put together? Do you know how long the original broadcast version should be? On the DVD it has 1:32:39 length. B...

Re: US Blu-ray release of the complete series, March 22nd, 2022

I'd be happy to do some comparisons and post them here. Do you have a particular episode that you think is especially poor? Do you, or anyone, know if the broadcast version of the last episode was released on DVD or Blu-ray in any regions? If not, is there a off air copy available digitally or even...

Re: US Blu-ray release of the complete series, March 22nd, 2022

That was me that posted the Amazon review about the missing eight minutes in the pilot in the US release. The UK release is okay for the pilot, I don't have the French release to check. Upon further inspection of the US set, all the episodes that aired in two hour timeslots (a total of six) are spl...
