Magnum stuff spotted in Jesse Stone movies

#1 Post by N1095A »

We know TS wears the Rolex from MPI in the Jesse Stone movies. Last weekend there was a Jesse Stone Marathon on TV, and I also caught him wearing the brown Ray Ban Shooters that TM wore in episodes after his regular shooters got broken, I believe in "Solo Flight". Also he wore the USN Leather jacket that looked a LOT like the one TM wore in "All For One", and "Going Home".
I would love to ask TS what he still has from Magnum.

I've noticed a lot of stuff, and dialog. "Fate wouldn't do that to me" from Benefit of the doubt being the latest.
The information's out there. All you have to do is let it in.

I just made a post in another thread and also mentioned the Rolex watch with the "pepsi" bezel. I actually wonder if it's Selleck's personal watch because it looks well worn. I saw it in several episodes but one really good shot of it (and the condition of it) is in the third film (Death in Paradise) at about the 12:34 mark when there is a close up of Stone drinking coffee.

I've noticed as well, some of the things others have noticed. A couple more are:

-Jesse having played pro-baseball, and Magnums love of the game.
-Magnum referring often to "living in paradise", and Jesse being the Police Chief of Paradise, Massachusetts.

And in general, some of Selleck's mannerisms are very "Magnum like".

I believe you're missing the biggest connection: When police officer Suitcase Simpson comes out of his coma, he utters the phrase, "A pint of Stout." Sound familiar?

I love how they've found a way to insert the Easter Eggs into the show. It makes it way more fun for viewers like me and shows that they care about the history.

How about in Innocents Lost, Jesse is watching Bridge on the River Kwai, the scene where the bridge is blown up.
