Found this (via links) as I was putzing around the site...

:(

http://the.honoluluadvertiser.com/artic ... 20304.html

...actor that played Mano in this episode of MPI, Dick Jensen, passed away in 2006, of ALS or Lou Gehrings disease. Lost my mother to ALS...it's a real tough way to go!
Dick Jensen was inother MPI episodes, that I cannot think of right now. Also Hawaii Five-O.

Frodoleader, I've corrected the link.

May "The Giant" rest in peace.

There is a documentary about this island that appears on the documentary channel every once in a while. It is owned by a rich family who ownes a lot of other property on another of the Hawaiian islands. The brother who runs it is a firecracker.

I have wanted a necklace made out of the rice shells, but they are so expensive. I haven't been able to find one that I can afford yet.

I am glad MPI did a show highlighting Native Hawaiian culture.
Interestingly, just recently I heard a comic on the Bob & Tom Radio Show (can't recall his name), that was a Native Hawaiian. He joked that when in Charlotte, NC, about 20 Hawaiians came to his show: "More Hawaiians that were ever on 8 years of Magnum PI!".

...I beg to differ...

The truly shocking thing is that you were listening to the Bob and Tom show. Was someone holding a gun to your head or did you loose a bet?

I watched Kapu from my DVD collection, quite a few scenes deleted on the Sleuth version aired last week. I found it odd that there was a scene where Rick brought the Ferrari back to the estate and turned it over to HIggins. Later when he took his cousin to the museum where Higgins was conducting a tour, Rick made a big deal of talking about how he had taken the Ferrari, like HIggins didn't know anything about it. But of course he DID!

Here it is seven months later and I just see this...Its interesting that you make this comment about the B&T Show. I haven't listened to this show in over a year and have no desire to ever tune in again. Just a choice I've made...

Just rewatched this, it's a great episode. I do agree that Magnum's fear of the Natives seems a bit forced, and over the top at the beginning. Well done though, I wish they would have had more episodes with Native Hawaiians and their culture in the forefront.
Magnum trying to escape on the boat and getting chased down is a great scene. It was a bit of a drag that they didn't get to have a party, I wish they would have just had an with the gang hangin out and partyin, no mystery or action

FYI, Frodoleader :

Dick Jensen is also the car salesman with the unpronouncable name who sold Thomas his little red clunker in Blind Justice during Season 5.
