| Michelle is a very attractive woman, but her morals are very confusing. If she really wanted to be with Magnum, why didn't she find a way? Instead she ran into the arms of other men. At least, Magnum got his daughter Lily in the end.

| What can i say? One of my favourite episodes. Not the best, but almost. I think it´s just great how MPI managed to mix episodes like this one with Drama, with more lighter Comedian episodes without getting cheesy.

Flub#1 in the chopper. When TM tells the team that he is going to marry Michelle he's riding in the front left seat. Sitting there should be the co-pilot (in choppers the commander sits on the right, unlike planes). In a combat situation there would be pilot and co-pilot. And I can't say that TM is helping to fly as he is holding his M-16, with the barrel vertical.
Flub #2. Rick is leaning out the right door of the chopper and they start to take fire. Rick then is shooting an M-16 left handed (left index finger on trigger, right hand on barrel). Then they cut to obvious archive footage from inside the bird out that same door, with a person and M-16 firing away. This shooter is firing right handed.

| Another flub is after Magnum is shot and is lying in the street, he looks up to shoot Colonel Ki, Michelle's shoes are different than when she ran up, and then she changed back after Magnums shoots.

Other notes, bloopers and misc.:
* The main episode guide page for this episode states that the names appear bottom-centre, not the usual bottom left. On my TV version, they appear bottom-left. However, Part II lists the names bottom-centre.
* Maybe it’s just me, but when Magnum runs in to the study after Zeus and Apollo chase him after his swim, his trunks don’t seem to be wet!
* As mentioned in my review, Higgins is seen to be writing his memoirs for the first of a number of times in the series
* In the flashback to Magnum and Michelle’s after-wedding drink with T.C. and Rick, Rick’s toast line “…And this one is gonna kill ya” just before the explosion is clearly rerecorded in post production – his lips don’t even sync up properly.
* When Higgins delivers the photographs to Magnum in the guesthouse, he says “I don’t know if you’re pulling my leg, as you yanks put it”. There is no need for him to add “as you yanks put it”, as ‘pulling my leg’ is a very common expression here in the UK.
* Channel 5’s “bloody” edit count – only one in this episode – Higgins’ “How bloody curious” after he notices the French Cross hanging around Michelle’s neck in the photo. 5 left this one in, but on the previous shown episode, ‘Tropical Madness’*, they made some very big edits around “bloody”. (* - they were showing the episodes in order, but broadcast ‘Tropical Madness’ before this story so that the two-parter would not be left open while the series took a brief break).
* As mentioned above, my birthday is the same as the one given for Magnum in this episode – albeit 22 years later.
* More abridged commercial breaks on the DVD version – Part I only has one break unabridged (but I lost count as to which one).
* Two-part version:
When Channel 5 broadcast this story in 2002, they showed the two-part version. For those with the DVD version wondering when the end of Part I falls, it is in the church, after Michelle talks to Buck in the confession box, and Colonel Ki gets up to follow her out.
Both parts I & II had the opening credits from a later season! This seems to be where the episodes were later split into two parts and the (then current) opening titles were added, replacing the originals; I have examples of ‘The Rockford Files’ and ‘Starsky & Hutch’ that also have this done.
There is about four minutes missing from Part I, though I am unsure if this is where the episode is split into two halves (many feature-length episodes of the era were shortened when adapted to two-parters) or Channel 5 made this edit themselves. After Magnum wakes up at the beginning from his dream about Michelle, skipped is him muttering “Michelle”, him going for a swim, the dogs chasing him, and the scene in the study, where Higgins is writing his memoirs and Magnum asks him for the camera. The story picks up again as Magnum is taking photos of the car salesman. As I say, I’m not sure if this was a ‘proper’ edit, or one done by Channel 5 (who very occasionally edited for time). |
I'm curious, I have all the seasons of starsky and hutch. Which did this occur in.
As for the episode, I liked it. Thought it would be more action punctuated by romance, but it seems that it's mostly just intrigue. I suppose the Vietnamese element would have meant more at the time, though still today many can understand the idea of wanting ones dead returned home.
As a flub no one else noticed, and my personal first found:
As Magnum speaks with Michelle halfway through the episode, we get a nice close up of her sitting in the wicker chair in his room. The very same chair he fired two warning shots at the Soviet man who sat there in "From Moscow to Maui." However, there are no bullet holes! They seem to have disappeared.
Also, at around 1:27 in, we see Magnum has a tiny decal on the Ferrari's window, near the top. One must wonder what it is...
