"The Curse of the King Kamehameha Club" used to be one of the few episodes that didn't have any documented flubs. Well, not any more!

I know it's pushing the boundaries of what is (and what's not) a flub, but black tape can be seen on the floor where Magnum and the maid are supposed to stand!

And here they are standing on their spots...

Never thought to look for black tape on the floor before!

No, James. That's not marginal. It is a geuine spot! Good job. The tape was part of the staging and should not have been revealed to the audience. Good detective work... Cool

James...There are two other flubs..When Higgins,Rick and TM are in the upstairs office,Higgins is wearing a yellow and navy striped tie.Moments later the fire alarm sounds Higgins is seen in the kitchen with a burgundy and navy striped tie. The tie also switches back and forth in a later scene in the office.

At the end of the episode,Charlie inserts the left earplug twice.

I wouldn't consider the earplug thing a flub. You sort of have to mold them to be effective. If there's the slightest leak, it's even worse if you don't have earplugs in

Watch it again Doc and tell me what you think.That whole scene is messed up.

As said in this thread before, what i prefer is Magnum's "each day as it comes" philosophy : to become rich and buying his own Ferrari?
That would take all the fun out of it! (one of the most profound sentence in the whole serie)
What a lesson today for who proclaim life's goal: be rich or die trying

Just watched this episode last night and I enjoyed it for many reasons.

Gretchen Corbett is in this episode. As a fan of the Rockford Files, I LOVED seeing her again!! She is very beautiful and talented.

Did anyone catch Higgens with the dark sunglasses? I thought it was a very cool look.

I liked seeing more of the King Kamehameha Club than just the bar area. What is the room that Rick, Higgens, and TM are in with the wall of glass overlooking the beach and ocean? I don't think that room has been used in any other episode, it is not far from the bar. It must be nice to have a private area like that to get away, but still be able to see the ocean.

I liked getting a better view inside the Ferrari. They filmed inside the Ferrari from both sides when Magnum and TC are in the Ferrari.

I liked that they filed in remote but authentic locations.

The comedy at the start of the episode was very funny, with Higgens describing what was in the complaint box. I got a good laugh.

I rate this episode a 9 out of 10. The story is a solid 8. It gets an extra .5 point boost for a GREAT guest star and another .5 point boost for filming locations.

probably my favorite episode of the entire series.

and i often wondered why Charlie's character was not continued in the series as he was a seemingly great addition to the re-occuring cast.........that "love tap" of Manu Tupou's character Charlie, that was posted............doncha think Manu probably ad libe'd that? if true, and keeping that in mind while replaying Charlie's part in this show in ones mind.......his was a very strong character opposite Magnum's. with this being the very first season i could see where the producers could see a conflict of character prominence should his role followed through into more episodes.

it is my opinion that Manu Tupou did ad lib that "love tap", which was absolutely great acting IMO and the powers that be also knew it was to good to cut........but it ended his short career as a Magnum PI regular role??? joe
