Fall Guy Meets Magnum P.I.

#1 Post by J.J. Walters »

The Fall Guy episode ("License to Kill") with Tom Selleck's cameo is finally online! I've waited for what seems like forever to see this clip!

http://www.hulu.com/watch/26558/the-fal ... vepisode,1 (scene starts at around the 29:30 mark)

Just hilarious! Colt & Howie (wearing female navy whites) are being chased by some bad guys when they stumble upon Tom Selleck and the Ferrari at a Magnum P.I. episode shoot! LOL! Selleck and Colt apparently know each other. Keep watching after the scene ends, because Erin Gray soon appears. :)

I rather liked Fall Guy when it originally aired (who doesn't like Lee Majors?), but it doesn't hold up so well today. It has its moments, though.

Thanks James, I had never seen that. :)


And I've posted this video here before, but I'm going to do it again:

So frustrating, I obtained this : "Video library can only be streamed within the United States" and no DVD available in France at the moment ...

Great find James! Thanks for sharing this. Plus, it's always nice to have a little Erin Gray as a bonus!

I love how Selleck is wearing the banded collar (collarless) dress shirt in this scene. I can just picture Fall Guy fans scratching their heads and saying, "What the heck is he wearing?" ;)

Thanks, James. Used to watch The Fall Guy off and on but don't remember that episode. It was great!

Since this was posted, I've been looking online for a freeware program that allows downloading (or copying, like a still screen cap) of streaming video so I could record just the section with TS in it and post it somewhere online as a short video (like in my Webshots account) so Jean-Claude can look at it. But I can't find a program that works (HiNet Recorder, which should do this, according to descriptions, crashes on me every time I try to use it).

Does anyone know of such a program? Or how to fix HiNet? Some of the time it seems to indicate I'm missing a codec but when I go looking for that codec, the site where it was no longer exists, apparently, as I get the "page can't be found" prompt.

Can anyone help me here? Or if you can do it yourself, just record those few minutes yourself and post a video for Jean-Claude.

I remember this from the Fall Guy's first run. What a treat it was to see TS!
One thing hit me rewatching it just now: I believe that this scene was shot in two parts. One with Tom Selleck's dialogue and the other wih Lee Majors. The shot when TS in the Ferrari pulls up could have easily been shot with doubles hiding beside the parked car. So, Tom Selleck and Lee majors may never have actually done the scene together!
Just my two cents...

Fall Guy......wow.....that's digging way back as well. I watched it, probably all the episodes, but it doesn't stick in the memory....plus I never watched it in syndication (if it even went there). I was a big Lee Majors fan from Six Million Dollar Man, so I watched.....and it was good enough. Heather Thomas was not painful to my eyes either...........then again neither was Markie Post back in the day on that show.

Browsing the old sections sure does bring up some interesting things! I've never seen this before or heard of "The Fall Guy", I guess it never aired in Croatia.

Also I apologize for bumping up old threads! :wink:

I enjoy revisiting these old threads. I've actually never seen this Fall Guy episode, despite liking both shows very much back in the 80s. You've now reminded me that I need to go find it.
