Trivia

When Magnum's misadventures bring trouble to the Robin Masters Estate, Higgins arms himself with a British Webley Mk-VI .455 caliber revolver. It was a standard British military-issue weapon in both World Wars, so it's reasonable to assume that it was Higgins personal sidearm from his time with the British Army in World War II. See more »

User Reviews

Great Show
30 May 2003 | by (Winnipeg) – See all my reviews

The first couple of years the show had too work the glitches out. Once they got the formula right this was an entertaining show. There were some memorable stories, I like the one with his quarterback friend Darcy. This show had a budget that todays producers would salivate at. A Ferri, a chopper, a mansion, and great locations. Tom Selick grew as an actor in this series, and the 80's over the style is missed with todays shows. Who care's who gets voted off the island, or people making out in the bathroom on the show Friends, I rather watch a show with production vaule, professional actors, directing, and some fun. Time well spent on A&E
