My friend and I were in his uncle's BMW. We were talking about that scene. We drove up to a boulevard. And he did the same thing (more mud less grass). It was hilarious.
The reason that scene exists was they could not get the Ferrari to spin its wheels on the road surface. So they thought that if they dropped the clutch on the dirt then pavement then fishtailed the wheels would continue to spin when it hit the road. Sadly it was not as fast as it looked.
RIP John Hillerman (December 20, 1932 - November 9, 2017), aged 84 And RIP Roger E. Mosley (December 18, 1938 - August 7, 2022), aged 83 You both will be remembered as legends.
It’s August 7th 2023 and I’m just here reminiscing by coincidence. Didn’t know TC passed away a year ago today. Bummer; but a long life and a costar in the coolest show of all time! RIP Theodore Calvin
It's incredible how after so many years I still excited at the beginning of the intro the same way I did as a kid in the 80s. The anticipation of another great episode.
All the review outlets always say this series didn’t have enough Hawaiian/ Asian American actors and representation. My father grew up in Hawaii during this series and always marveled at the fact they used a lot of local celebrities in this show so don’t be fooled by the critics.
I can't bring myself to watch a single episode of the new Magnum P.I.The same with Queen Latifah as the Equalizer. Robyn McCall? Really? They seem to find a way to destroy the classics every time.
It's just set for the time. Vietnam is too long ago for kids today to understand the references and the technology has changed dynamics. One of the things that kids today won't understand. Is that Magnum's short shorts was actually a very sexy choice at the time. 😂
I just tried to watch the first episode of the so called new Magnum,PI. I couldn't make it thru the 15 minutes of the show. Tom Selleck just fit the character and had the perfect personality for the show as did all the other cast members. There is only one Magnum and Tom Selleck is his name!
Only Tom Selleck can play the role of Magnum. Only he has the cool and funny charisma to play that character. The Ferrari just adds to the shine of his character and the music is like icing on top of the cake. When I was a kid, I didn't really understand what I was watching. All I knew was that Magnum and his Ferrari was the coolest thing I wanted to become. 🕶️
In no particular order James Schmidlin 0 seconds ago 1. Rockford Files 2. Magnum PI, the same ppl who who wrote Rockford File Theme 3. Miami Vice 4. Hawaii 5-0 All four had great intro credit themes
When it comes to theme songs, 80s prime time tv shows will never be topped. Magnum, Simon & Simon, Equalizer, Airwolf, Hunter, Remington Steele, A-Team, Knight Rider...the list goes on. Great. I detect an incoming UA-cam rabbit hole.
When I was a kid, mom loved watching this show. Dad had the tom Selleck mustache and would always do the eyebrow raise he does at the end of this intro. Lol I loved it, and here I am 30+ years later doing it! Lol
I was in love with the man when I was just a little girl lmao, this smirk he does when looking at the camera in his beautiful car and the way it drifts is just so iconic to me and is the definition of a handsome dashing man.
Maybe. There were so many good ones....Hawaii Five 0, Family Affair, Leave it to Beaver, Rockford Files, Laverne and Shirley, Happy Days, Perry Mason, Star Trek, Baretta, COPS...
If this intro doesn’t get you going...check your pulse you might be dead! I remember that quick clip of him giving that girl in a bikini scuba lessons helped kickstart me into puberty!! 🤩
Exactly! His sly look at the camera - breaking the 4th wall as the Ferrari tears up the grass before racing off is the embodiment of this show and Tom Selleck. No disrespect to the rest of the cast, writers or production team, but this show wouldn't have been half as good without Tom Selleck. He was sufficiently masculine and comfortable in his own skin to be able to pull off the often goofy humour and those outrageous shirts as he was the seriousness and occasional violence of his character. To me, the upbeat opening sequence of Magnum represents many things that were great about the 80's and my own childhood... and makes me feel warm & happy inside. It also instilled into me a 40 year love of Dobermans and of course, Ferraris. I've had both over the years. The remake is just... No. Just no.
@@stevensenator4804 lol... your own analysis is spot on. I'm 50 and spent the first 27 years of my working life as an intelligence officer in the Royal Air Force, then as a Solicitor - an Attorney. But now, I write & produce film and TV!
Love the guitar riffs on this theme! And I remember watching this back in the 80s, loved it! If there is a remake/reboot TV series, then it could work if crossed over with the new Hawaii Five-O, the character could help out McGarrett and co. But the original series was great entertainment, TV was awesome back then. No crybaby singing contests, you got quality stuff like Magnum PI, The A Team, Airwolf, you name it. That car is a classic now and he flies around in such a cool helicopter.
It's funny you mention Hawaii 50....Magnum mentions McGarret in the first episode (of the original show) as a TV character. But I bet they do a cross over to help spike ratings in this new one.
Magnum's handgun in the intro is a 1911 chambered in .38 Super. Throughout the series it is referred to as a "45". Must have switched guns at some point... Even so, this was one of the best TV series ever made!
Magnum P.I. Is one of the goats of action Tv. This was my dad show, and I use to watch with him. As a kid this intro got me hyped. He made everyone want a red Ferrari, definitely iconic with Michael Knights “Kitt”. They dont make great shows like this anymore
They use to have this show on Thursday nights (in Mexico), it reminds me of my dad watching this show and me and my brothers next to dad. Glorious days (I want to cry)
"Magnum P.I."(December 1980 - May 1988)= Pure gold! A great cool 1980s TV series! Tom Selleck= What a man! *** 1980s was probably the best decade ever! I mean: Magnum, The A-Team, Knight Rider...
Two shows tripled Hawai’i’s population here--Hawai’i 5-0 1968-1980 with Jack Lord, then Magnum PI 1980-1988 with Tom Selleck. Honolulu is a “big” small town. One million ppl and we all know each other. Selleck is BETTER looking in person than on screen. Wow--30 years ago. Bicycling, running along Kahala Ave as he lived at Black Point--near Diamond Head. Super nice guy, always volunteering for local causes like our Wahine volleyball team (Women’s UH volleyball team usually nationally ranked.) I saw Michail Baryshnikov w ABT, front row at Neil Blaisdell Center in 1985. Sat next to Selleck--Tom’s wife was a dancer in CATS. Once Baryshnikov came on stage--it was Tom who? New Hawai’i 5-0 SUCKS...Hon has no SWAT or nuclear bombs...no automatic weapons, all wearing black/black gloves. 5’4” Scott Caan is a pain in the butt. Jack Lord was a gentleman and everyone on his team was a local. On this HI 5-0? The ONLY locals weren’t paid enough and left! Hawai’i is 1/4% black yet they have a black cop? Two white cops, black cop AND everyone else is 400# including Jerry whatever the hell he does..and obese guys who sell shrimp on da beach. WRONG. --flat out dumb! HPD is like 98% Asian! The beaches belong to the people NO private lunch wagons--draws too many pigeons. BTW--no sea gulls here--just nasty pigeons. But a new Magnum?--NO F’NG WAY! “Robin’s Nest” is owned by Eve Anderson and is TINY. Park your car on east Kalani’ole highway and look over gate. About the property and lawn size of a typical suburban home...small.
Arrrr the memories! Loved Magnum then and still do now, for me the best part of the opening credits was the assisting of the lady snorkeling (ahem) and the cheeky look to camera before power sliding off the grass on to the road with that famous theme tune... pure 80's class. On a side note before the Ferrari 308 was chosen as Robin masters car of choice. Story has it Porche were sniffing round wanting them to use their 928 as the hero car. Now I love Porche but I'm glad they went with Ferrari.
In 1987/88 I was stopped at a traffic light in Waikiki in my 79 Datsun at about 7 PM at night and I looked at the car next to me and it was Tom in a white Porsche looking right at me.....a few seconds later the light turned green and Tom made a turn into Nicks Fish Market where he was known to dine by anyone who lived and worked in Waikiki....it was cool to be locking eyes with Tom for a few seconds....
This is pure uncut testosterone. You grow a mustache just listening this theme

the part where he is driving the Ferrari from the grass to road, is ICONIC!

Hughes MD 500 is iconic as well when he's on the helicopter.
@@TheJimmymunce I never knew that! But it still looked cool af to me as a kid😎
Now kids risk it all and crash
That cocky grin before he burns out in the Ferrari is just bad ass
Yep, he was bad ass
One of the best parts about it is he’s not even trying to be a badass, just jovial - yet it’s still badass.
“Fate just wouldn’t do that to me” is his voiceover’s line at that exact moment.
He looks to see if anyone is coming when it’s too late
Badass

As an 80s kid, hearing and seeing this again makes me VERY happy. Rest up, John Hillerman-we love and miss you.
I’m a 2002 kid and this was the best show ever! I used to watch it with my grandpa when I was 6ish😂
I am an 80s kid too, magnum, a team, airwolf, buck rogers, fall guy, knight rider- it seemed a golden age for tv

I always got the impression that the actors had a lot of fun making this series.
Recent interviews have borne that out to be true.
I’m pretty sure they did have fun!
Of course, it sure gives you a nice feeling when you help someone to learn swimming 😊
He bought the whole set Rolex's after one of the seasons wrapped.
The Rick character cracks me up. How many times has he helped out Magnum for free and gotten shot at or beat up? Now that's a real friend!
Back when shows gave you enough time to grab a soda and a snack from the kitchen before they started.
Back when shows were worth getting a snack for lol.

Magnum PI and Miami Vice... two best intros of all time.
And Both driving Ferrari
I like the Dukes of Hazard theme song as well. “Just some good ole,boys”
Hill Street Blues
One of the best openings to a TV show.
RIP, Higgins.. Best TV show ever.
It's incredible how after so many years I still excited at the beginning of the intro the same way I did as a kid in the 80s. The anticipation of another great episode.
T.C. and Higgy Baby reunited in the great Aloha in the Sky.
All the review outlets always say this series didn’t have enough Hawaiian/ Asian American actors and representation. My father grew up in Hawaii during this series and always marveled at the fact they used a lot of local celebrities in this show so don’t be fooled by the critics.
I think '80's Magnum P.I. is a lot better than today's Magnum P.I.
Today’s Magnum PI is a joke and didn’t need to exist. Tom Selleck is a true legend
I fully agree. 80's Magnum P.I. is a masterpiece. Tom Selleck portrayed Magnum as nobody else could do.
I can't bring myself to watch a single episode of the new Magnum P.I.The same with Queen Latifah as the Equalizer. Robyn McCall? Really? They seem to find a way to destroy the classics every time.
You think?? You know it is.
It's just set for the time. Vietnam is too long ago for kids today to understand the references and the technology has changed dynamics.
One of the things that kids today won't understand. Is that Magnum's short shorts was actually a very sexy choice at the time. 😂

Happy 40th Anniversary to "Magnum , P.I." which premiered this week on CBS (December 11, 1980). (1980-1988)

Best show ever 80’s
40 years. I know what you're thinking, 'It's only been 35 years...since the last episode aired.' Another day in Paradise.
Everything about this show was badass!
THIS is the variation of the theme I've been looking for in high quality.
Great song. I liked the part of the intro when Magnum raised his eyebrows.🎉
The 80s had the catchiest tv theme songs. I can make a playlist of good songs just from 80s tv shows alone. Now to find The A-Team theme song lol.
Magnum P.I. Is one of the goats of action Tv. This was my dad show, and I use to watch with him. As a kid this intro got me hyped. He made everyone want a red Ferrari, definitely iconic with Michael Knights “Kitt”. They dont make great shows like this anymore
Good remembering on the 80th. Loved these series ! Also Tom Selleck as Jesse Stone.
The chopper diving towards the sea at the beginning, wow, I've always loved it.
The MD 500 is the best chopper.
They use to have this show on Thursday nights (in Mexico), it reminds me of my dad watching this show and me and my brothers next to dad. Glorious days (I want to cry)

This is ART also the sheer charisma of Tom Selleck.

over again
Magnum is the kind of guy every kid and every grown man wants to be !
R.I.P. Higgins, gonna miss you
Jens Lorenz I don't know he died
Now he reencarnated in a empowered girl in the horrible remake...
why is the hell is Higgins a chick? Weren’t they smart enough to have sex appeal without changing the gender of one of the main characters
They had to break up some of that "toxic masculinity" of the original.
I made a custom mix of this and the Miami Vice theme in the 80's on cassette for my cousin's gymnastic floor routine.
RIP "TC". I loved you in Magnum PI.
I'm so glad they changed the theme music to this. The earliest song was depressing lol
Only one Magnum, Tom Selleck! Loved the camaraderie with Higgins (and Zeus and Apollo, who used to chase him).
Great show. And the #1 reason the 308/328 is my all-time favorite Ferrari.
Shoutout to Mike Post and Pete Carpenter for this amazing theme song, they also did the them for The A Team...legendary!
👏👏👏👏
I should have known!
That helicopter dive at the start so good. This was my program growing up.
Absolutely loved ❤ this theme and the intro!
don't forget AirWolf, the A-TEAM, and Knight Rider too.
Bro nostalgia this show was and always will be my child hood this and walker texas ranger two of the greatest fuckin shows ever
it's because of magnum that I love tropical shirts and wear them every weekend!
There is only one Magnum PI there is only one Tom Selleck if they make a remake it will never never never be the same
poodle dog they are saw the trailer it absolutely sucks
Is anything the same when they remake classic series.
It'd be like Jaws 2+ all over again. Maybe they think the original should have had excessive plastic surgery and steroids added
Shut up, poodle. Don't watch then.
100% Agree. And Higgins can't be ever a female character, he needs to be the "butler" ;) .
I watched magnum pi all the time in the 80s. I have the series on dvd and am watching it again.
I used 2 watch this show when I was a kid in grade school.
me too
It was a simpler time... just dad and I chillin' on a Sunday, drinking fresh orange soda and watching Magnum PI 😊
