Hillerman's English accent is spot on, as is his impression of an Englishman of that type. Very, very impressive. I would never have twigged that he was a Texan.
I can because there's a fundemental flaw in it and it's the reason why I looked up one day whether he was English or American. It's because everyone with an native English accent of that variety does an extra R sound on their hanging A sounds. e.g. "IDE-ER" instead of "idea". Even Hugh Laurie and Angela Lansbury says "idear" when they're using American accents and it is a dead giveaway to Americans they're not using their natural accent no matter how good they are. Apparently Americans can hear it more easily because every time I pointed it out to someone British they claim they can't hear it, but it's there. Hillerman doesn't have the r because it's not easy for Americans to copy it, if at all, since it's a very subconscious inflection.
@Desi365 he was one of the Johnsons in blazing saddles, thats how i worked out he wasnt english, as an englishman, his performances as higgins are excellent.
I hear ya. I have the first 2 seasons, also watched the netflix streams of all seasons. It is "like the first time" because now you catch the nuances not noticed the first time. And, after having been to the island so many times, you recognize all the different angles of the same few locations they filmed at. At first it bugged me, but then I realized that's part of "movie magic"...suspending disbelief for a short while.
Wow! Thanks! Definitely good news...for Mr. Hillerman too! My dream would be a extra full length movie with the whole cast & several cameos of past guest stars. My wife & I would probably be the only ones in the theater (in our Hawaiian clothes), but it sure would be great. We know that Higgins wasn't Robin Masters (as some guessed). But, a continuation of that "mystery" could be fun. The show was silly, but sure was great entertainment. Glad they did it. Still brings me happiness.
1:49 is literal perfection. I wish I had a TARDIS from Doctor Who with an invisibility cloak on. It would just be my e*ect thing hovering in mid-air right behind him.
I can't tell you how badly I want to see inside that house. I also would love to know why the owners have such a huge horse stable on a property that is only 3 acres. That house by the front gate is large enough for a family of 10.
Magnum P. I. The best ever show, wish I was 20 again!!!!
Best comic duo in the history of television
Magnum P.I is the best god damn show ever
Word
Hell yeah!

After all this time, i'm discovering only now ! Lol
@Radbod Egal John Hillerman died almost 5 years ago. Roger E. Mosley died yesterday.

I sure do miss Higgins
Yeah Highi Baby 😂
We all do. Rest in power Mr Hillerman
Same. :(
I would love to love him. He's all bending over and his cannon is suddenly exploding in this scene. 5'7" guys are insane in general.
I didn't mean it as a negative in any way. I LOVE Magnum & still watch it on dvd.
I just love when Higgins gets the upper hand over Magnum.

I was blown away when I found out Higgins is a Texan….
legendary scene :D
LEGENDARY
🏖🚘💪🏻Men of 80'ies look more masculine than today.
This should be on regularly for the younger ones as they might actually develop a sense of humour!
I wish i could give you more than one thumb up for that 😂
Much better than Friends
The remake is actually ok
no ame frenche i eave in pont ave
One of the best ever british accents by a yank Ever
I saw this on Pawn Stars the other night. Really cool Cannon.
That was an insult to offer 15K for this. Definetly worth 40K plus
What a start on those many files for magnum-higgins could be so cunning at times
Haha, brilliant!!
1:49 is literal perfection. I wish I had a TARDIS from Doctor Who with an invisibility cloak on. It would just be my e*ect thing hovering in mid-air right behind him.
Really Magnum it's only powdah!

They really do have the bet three kind of vehicles on the Masters estate.
oui les voix dedoublage sont parfaite ma voix est parfaite
2:01 hahaha
Love Men
laughed so hard at this scene love when Tom does that smile and nod
Nombre del protagonista
Fuck whats happened to film and television its gone backwards .....any ideas out there.
I thought he was British.
Vorrei vedere Magnum in italiano😘😘
🤣
Although I like the new Magnum PI. The original will always be Iconic.
en francais le doublage de magnum tom selleck est partaitnon la voix est pas au gout
New Higgins sucks big time. No charm, personality or charisma.
