Magnum, P.I. No More Mr. Nice Guy. On location in Hawaii with Tom Selleck. 

My friend John Nordlum was Tom Selleck's stand in on Magnum. John Nordlum can be seen in this video clip. My friend John Nordlum passed away this year 2018. John Nordlum was such a great kind hospitable person. We met on the set of Magnum Pi. We had our picture taken together on the Magnum Pi episode "I Do". We were on Kahala Beach where Magnum Pi was filming. This experience of being on the set of Magnum Pi was amazing. I took many pictures on the set. Tom Selleck even took the time to pose for me. Some of the pictures that I took made it in different publications including Larry Manetti's website for being "On The Set". I received no photo credit for any of my pictures except for a fan club magazine for Tom Selleck. Thank You for posting this behind the scenes video of Magnum Pi. God Bless, Victor John Fleener

I was stationed in Hawaii in 82. I went to a convenience store in uniform. I was sitting outside the store drinking a Mt. Dew. Tom Selleck walks into the store. I nodded as he entered, on his way out he handed me another Dew and said thanks for my service. We talked about football for about 10 minutes and then he left.

what a classy guy mr. selleck, you won't see any so called stars coming out of set these days to say hi to the fans nice upload!

This video is awesome. I've been a lifelong Magnum fan. Fave episode is: 'Did you see the sunrise?'

I grew up watching Magnum P.I. , this was great . Thank you for posting .

I was there that day also! They filmed them pulling up probably a dozen times. After they got all the shots with the van they set up and filmed the stunt crash. In the video Tom started to come over to the crowd but gets called back. He in fact did get some free time and came over to greet some of the fans.

That's a lot of crew for a shot, no wonder production costs are high, but this great show has recouped it many times over. I still watch it daily and also the reboot, Hawaii, Ferraris and mystery!

This video is simply wonderful, very rare and precious for a Magnum fan like me!

This is awesome!!! Loved this since I was a kid .......so well written and so much heart was put into this series .Thank you for posting this .

Thank you so much for the video, Hawaii was so great in the 80s, it has changed so much over the years. 🤙❤

Thank you for a lot of ours to entertainment,many greetings from Croatia

Thank you so much. What a rare treat for Magnum-lovers just like me

Very nice! Thanks for this. I feel like Magnum fans really need more content celebrating this iconic show since sadly we never got the reunion we all wanted. With John Hillerman's passing and CBS picking up the reboot over the proposed sequel series It's been a tough time for Magnum fans but stuff like this are a great pick me up :).

That’s so cool!! Specially for back then ! Lucky you, favorite show and actor! He seemed to be really nice

Outstanding ! Thank you for posting this gem. I smiled from ear to ear, and yes Selleck is a class act. So much fun watching this !

Great upload. Can't be much footage from the early 80's of Magnum on set. Interesting to see how much work and manpower it takes to shoot a scene that ultimately, only lasts for seconds onscreen. Along with The Saint and The Persuaders, Magnum PI is one of my favourite series. The intro music alone always puts a smile on my face. Again, thanks for sharing the footage.

Thanks for posting! Pretty good quality considering it was 1983.

Really cool, thanks for posting this. You sort of forget that there are dozens of people just off camera.

This is a jewel for a fan like me, thanks a lot !

What a gem, thanks for uploading, I wish there were more behind the scenes clips available from the 70s and 80s tv series and especially from Magnum, P.I.!

Greatest thing I have ever seen. Thank you so very much!

Beutiful document❤️❤️ 80’s Forever

Incredible..thank u so much...a real gem...😊Natalie from toronto.....

This is great stuff! Funny with the Norwegian commentaries. And good quality video too. Magnum PI is among my favorite TV-shows, the original series, that is.

Great video, thank you very much for posting! I never saw a video showing the work on set before. Very cool! :-)

Tom seems like a great guy coming over and waving to his fans , you don’t see new Hollywood loving the ones who made them famous

35 years ago! Unbelievable

That's great. Shows how much effort is put into each shot. Glad you were able to edit in the final shot.

Great video quality for that time!

Great video we just walked up and down that road last month I love the way you showed the actual scene great job

Fantastic! Thank you from Italy!

Hey , good night, everyone ! Thanks a lot, mr Gronvold for posting it and sharing it among us, old fans from the 80's tv shows..! Great ! I did appreciate it ! Nice upload , pal ! Mr Sheldon, below is quite right..nowadays no so called stars, whatever, would ever walk out of the set, to greet their fans..! God bless you ! Hugs from Brazil west !

That is awesome to see. I looks like filming a tv show is extremely boring lol. thanks for the footage.

great clip, wish I had been there to see it, great cast

love the show, really miss it

the good old days

The REAL and one and only, Magnum P.I. on channel 14.3 (CHARGE)

Thanks for sharing. That was great to see. 😃

Great upload!! Thank you.

Magnum show was awesome the best showmin 80s

Cheers!

How so 80s. Loving it. Lol

Awesome

That's gold!

RIP Roger (TC) ❤️

EXCELENTE

That's just Terrific! ;-{)

There’s a true “nice guy”

Wow ❤

I mean what a fuckin job to have... Selleck was killing it in the 80s. Just beaches women and tight shorts all day every day. Probably got paid for these episodes too. I cant imagine a better life.

Cool Video.

Roger Mosley TC🚁😢😥🇨🇵

3:35 haha, his stunt guy. ^^

V cool

At 3:40 the 3rd A.D is like telling me not to take pictures while they are filming, and I'm thinking why?? There's sound from other cars and activity in the area, so it couldn't be the snapping of their cameras, and it's not as if we had the internet back then to post photos and ruin the surprise. Also, nobody would be using a flash anyway during the day and with the film lighting, so it's funny to hear someone tell them not to take photos.

Great footage. Only a question. At 4:58 there's a red cone near the TC van while at 5:33 it not appears. So, i think this shoot is not the same using for the episode :)

Very nice!! What´s that final swaying (kind of jumping from both Magnum and TC) at the end of the scene? I was 9 y.o. back then. How I wish I had the same luck as you to having been there... :)

4:45 someone gets “shushed”

Är det du själv som filmat? Hör en norsk stämma i bakgrunden :-)

Thomas, do you remember the date of your video? I see it was filmed in 1983, but do you remember day and month?

This is "filmed" by some Norwegians... (tourists) That much I can hear! Nice clip!

HOOD..EL ORIGINAL MAGNUM.PI.CON EL VERDADERO ACTOR TOM SELEC ...DA CASUALIDAD .VI MAGNUM .PI.CON OTRO ACTOR..NO ESTA MAL ES EXACTO ..PORQUE SOBRE LA SERIE ESTA EXACTO...NO HICIERON EL DESASTRE.QUE HICIERON CON MAC GRIVER UN DESASTRE.NADA QUE VER..

Did I just witness the birth of how RU-vidrs became in any way shape or form noteworthy?lol. In retrospect this woulda been top level Hollywood, youtube Stan, like TMZ level shit. 🤣😂🤮💯 OMG TOM SELLECK!!!!!!?! IS THAT A SUPRA?!?!?!!? 🤣😂🤮
