Thanks for that Sam!

Such a beautiful view, can just imagine the lifestyle sitting out there having dinner and drinks etc. Shame they didn't use the balcony for more episodes.

I can only remember 3 other times that the balcony was used.

Once with Higgins in the pilot.

Once with Mad Buck.

and the time with TM shooting from the helicopter at the guy on the balcony...Was that eighth part of the village?

Yeah you're right - the guys shooting was 'The Eighth Part of the Village'.

I remember a few episodes in which people were on the balcony and we saw them - usually Higgins. Plus the examples you mentioned, and another that springs to mind is the rescued girl from 'Italian Ice'.

I guess the balcony was used more than I remembered.

Nice to see that conversation between Sam and steveadl on Monday. Would be cool to have that sort of community discussion more often.

This was probably one of the funniest episodes of Magnum up to the third season. My and my girlfriend really enjoy it, lots of funny moments throughout the episode.

I found it funny that the character of Sato was played by the same guy who played another character called "Sato" in The Karate Kid, Part II. When I heard the name in the episode, I immediately thought of Sato from Karate Kid. Quite a coincidence that the very same actor would appear as him at the end of the episode!

And am I correct that the actor who played Sato was not only Sato in Karate Kid II but was also in the Season 2 episode Texas Lightning as a deckhand who eventually gets thrown overboard?

Yep. He was in several other MPI episodes also, as well as many Hawaii Five-0 episodes. He was one of the big name local Hawaiian actors in the 70s and 80s. He passed away in 1996.

I really enjoy watching this one! Pretty wild, with the Japanese girl popping out of the box, pretending to be this innocent/abused girl looking for her fiance...when the whole time she's really this enraged psycho--bent on assassinating her own father! :o

More of Higgins' interesting past is also discussed, and the action scenes on the waterfront were pretty good! The plot twists are excellent and entertaining to watch. Very good episode, and I rated it as such. :)

Hey, RC, this might make for a nice addition to the Filming Location Guide (if you decide to release another version).

The pool hall scene with Magnum, T.C., Rick, Mr. Harms (Donald Gibb) and Mr. Jansen (Dick Durock) was filmed on location at the Cebu Pool Hall (Hotel and River Streets), which appears to have been a rather notorious Filipina hangout for many years. The hall was part of the H.Y. Wong building (built in 1906), which at the time of this episode was one of the last remaining wood-flame structures in the downtown Honolulu area. The building was razed in 1992 and replaced with low-income housing.

*Interesting article about the building*

Magnum's v/o sez: "problem with asking people on the docks if they dont know ya, they wont tell ya." This is magnum's problem all thru the show, week after week. As with the earlier scene with da braddah with da forklift. he's acting all impatient and all haole. If he was more braddah braddah, he would get what he needs. there is a way of communication here unknown to outsiders. it's ho'omalimali. Magnum never learns it.
