Aloha everybody, this is my first post. I'm from Rome (Italy) and I'm 40.
Now, I know what you're thinking, and you're right: I'm a big big big fan of this show.
The best ever tv show. My english is not so good and I'm sorry about that
Few months ago I was in Oahu, realising one of my dreams: visiting the island and some of the show locations (and locations of 'Lost' too).
But my first target was Magnum P.I.. I saw Pahonu, the tidal pool, the Makai pier, the elks lodge, waialae beach park, waikiki, chinatown, the north shore, the studios, the kapaolono playground, Byodo In and so on. That was marvellous. I loved that island.
Since I'm re-watching the series on DVD in order (I own all of the dvd box sets), I'm enjoying myself to find those locations I couldn't visit (rubber chicken is better than me of course.
)
I've decided to dedicate my forst post to Mad Buck Gibson because he is a good guy and beacuase this episode is excellent.
Mahalo!
Here are some pics of the locations I've found out
Leahi Hospital (3675 Kilauea Ave) is the hospital where Higgins was taken at the beginning.
and the hospital now
The famous Silva Pantheon (1129 Nuuanu Ave. now closed) is the saloon where Mad Buck and Thomas go together
now
and the car chase at the end of the episode:
intersection between Farrington Hwy, Cane Haul Road and Goodale Ave
now
the Ferrari crash
(Kealohanui Street Waialua next the Old Sugar Mill)
now
during the chase we can see the Old Sugar Mill (on the left of this image). this area will be used for the "african location" of Lost (do you remember the scene of Mr Eko in Africa?). However this area will be used for other scenes of Magnum P.I. show
I hope this will be helpful for someone
