That's awesome. I stayed there when I was in Waikiki. It's a bit of a dive, but it's clean and so cheap!

Wow, great investigative work Sam! Thanks!

Nice work indeed! Hoping for more...

Great work!

Lou you should have brought Alan Trammel with you!

Styles...Do you know if they used the hotel for the interior shots?


These are from season one..."Missing in Action"...Another dive...Eric Tobin's pad..
If it looks familiar,it was used in Season seven. "Death and Taxes" as Milton "The Ripper" Collins pad as indentified by Rubber Chicken.

When Tobin gets away and TM hits the street, he looks to the right.The street is the same street used in "Never,Never Again" in front of Saul's place..both pics included.

For you Lost fans.The Indigo Restaurant is below this location and was used in two episodes.

Oh, wow! Very cool! Right by the Hawaii Theatre. This was the location (the alley) for the famous "Mama music sequence" in "Death and Taxes"! Sacred, hallowed Magnum ground.

In re-watching the foot chase scene, I happened to notice that Eric runs right by Bill Lederer's Bar (at the corner of Hotel & Nuuanu Streets), a Hotel Street landmark for many, many years. This place was later a police substation, and an art gallery. If walls could speak.

I'll have to go back and check the episode again. I don't have it handy.

Just looked now. While many years separate the shooting date and the date I visited, I'm pretty confident that the front desk in Mr. White Death is not the desk at the Royal Grove.

The most obvious thing is the door in the background, which should go directly outside and the room should be much, much bigger. Of course remodeling could have changed things, but I'd bet the Royal Grove hasn't been remodeled since the '60s!

Here's an image from their website (the view a guest would have):



And here's the only real perspective we have from the episode:



By the way, anyone planning a trip to Hawaii on the cheap should consider staying there. I think we paid US$500 for a full week in a double with an equipped kitchen only a few years ago.

Ok,this was an easy find...The location is seen in the first photo..It's the Chinatown Cultural Plaza Center.

When TM talks to Sylvia in," Legacy from a Friend",her booth is on the Moongate Stage.
