Magnum Mania!

Not sure if this shouldn't actually be in the JH thread?

But to get to my question - what's one of your favourite Higgins moments?

The first that comes to mind for me is when he plays the TomyTronic Pac Man at the end of Black on White - so good

(hope this url works - I tried to skip to the end of the ep)

Hmm, there are so many...


Thank Heaven For Little Girls... "Outrageous!!!!!"
Tropical Madness: "My darling, you look ravishing... A little champagne" - Post TC version.
Girl Named Sue: Gun Scene
"Karate Chop of Doom" - Various
Black On White - Tomy Tronic
Little Girl Who - Couch Warfare
Resolutions 2 - "That's a stupid story"
Birdman Of Budapest - The gradual degradation of sanity throughout

Paper War...the entire elevator sequence! There are so many in just this episode, hard to pin it down to just one.

Definitively one of the most memorable ones!

Don't forget the blood transfusion he gave to Rick, also one of the top moments for me! However my absolute favorite Higgins moment doesn't come to my mind right now, there's simply too many of them! I'll have to rewatch some of the episodes and come back to this thread.

Yes! So hard to choose just a few, huh?

Is the 'Girl Named Sue' one the 'oh my god' audio that's also on the site here? LOVE that one - I have it as the SMS tone on my phone at the moment.

Will re-watch a 'Little Girl Who' soon as I don't recall the couch stuff - looking forward to it.

True!

Great laugh in that one - though maybe he does it a touch too long? But no matter, really. I love the way they try and jump together, classic.

Ah! Awesome, thank you - with bamboo was it?
This ep has the river shoot out where Rick goes wild with his weapon?

The couch one is a favorite of mine simply because it shows the "softer" side of Higgins.

Those Higgins moments are fantastic, huh? Reminds me again that the characters - above the plots and settings etc - are the core of the show and the best thing about the series was watching them all interact.

The Higgins moment from Tropical Madness was also one of my favorites.

I believe the exact quote was "My dear (not darling), you look ravishing. Ha, ha. A little champagne?"

Great choices!

I agree, especially with Tropical Madness: "My darling, you look ravishing... A little champagne" - Post TC version.

I would add the China Doll sequence with Mai Ling where Magnum expects her to stay with him in the guesthouse. Mai Ling responds along the lines of "Certainly you didn't think . . ." And Higgins speaks up "Yes he did".

A very Cary Grant/classic movies rapid fire dialogue moment to me.

There's also a scene, I forget the episode right now, where Rick I think is telling a story and Higgy berates him for being long winded. The guys all do the look to each other.

There are more, but those jump out at me.

I think I said this in another thread, but I love the scene in Dead Man's Channel where Higgins keeps hearing the Kudu buck on the estate and Magnum pretends he doesn't hear anything. Higgins looks of self-doubt is priceless. Then he passes on having a glass of whisky with Magnum feeling the one he had earlier might actually be the reason for him hearing the sounds. Great scene!
