Magnum P.I. killcount

[Rutledal]

Hello Magnum forum! Long time no see (in fact its been 5 years since I was last online!) After a couple of years on the sideline I was recently thrust right back into full Magnum love, and I decided I wanted to do a Magnum P.I. killcount for Tom Selleck. If you're wondering what a killcount is please visit my YouTube channel for plenty of examples; https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6D4rE ... 5TA_LlbUGQ

Below I have compiled a list of all the episodes and the amount of kills I believe are performed by Magnum in each episode. I'm hoping to recruit some help in completing the list so I can begin work on this sooner.

Welcome back Rutledal!

If you go to the Lists Section of MM you find Magnum's Kills

http://magnum-mania.com/Lists/Magnums_Kills.html

Have a look and compare.
I hope this helps.

[Rutledal]

Thank you very much, I updated the list with a couple of notes. If anyone knows about any kills missed please do share.

[Rutledal]

Anyone have an overview of Higgins, Rick and TC's kills?

Higgins:
Kiss of the Sabre
All For One
Mad Dogs and Englishmen
On the Fly (maybe)
Murder by Night (was he the killer in that?)

Rick:
Don't Eat the Snow in Hawaii
J. "Digger" Doyle (shoots the female operative, but she appears to survive)
Distant Relative
All For One
Mad Dogs and Englishmen
The People vs. Orville Wright

T.C.:
Kiss of the Sabre
All For One
Summer School
Mad Dogs and Englishmen

Those are the ones I can recall without extensive re-watching.

[Rutledal]

Also, if I made a video which song would people like to see used? I'll be using the theme song for the opening and the original theme for the end, but a song used on the show for the main part. So feel free to throw around suggestions if there is a song you'd like me to use.

[Rutledal]

I made the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vKzXADh ... e=youtu.be

Banned in Germany. Enjoy!

Well done Rutledal.
How long did that take to put together?
I would say the kill count could be more as we don't know for sure how many kills he makes in some of your footage (i.e. one machine gun scene, Kiss of the Sabre, etc.).
Kill 9 and 10 might be only one kill.....as Magnum doesn't kill Col. Ki with the first shot. What do you think (yes/no)?
Also enjoyed your music selections!

[Rutledal]

It took 5 months, but mostly because of computer trouble.

I've watched all the scenes frame by frame so I'm pretty confident in the numbers.

#9 is a Vietnamese Agent/Assassin wearing a black suit, while #10 is Colonel Ki who is wearing a grey suit. I can see the confusion though.

[KENJI]

Five months and frame by frame - WOW!!!

I picked up on the different suit colors in #9 & #10, but thought the counter had moved again between shots.....I watched it again and stand corrected....apologies.

Great video Rutledal! Flashing through a couple scenes I couldn't recognise so will have to pay attention next run through.

A good reminder of the somewhat serious/darker turn some of season 8's episodes took at the end of the collage. Awesome stuff!
