This is great because Harrison Ford was asked to play Magnum P.I. but he turned it down.

It’s the other way around. They wanted Selleck for Indiana Jones. He was tied to his TV contract, so they went with Ford.

wow – watched the first one – then the comparison – it is totally the fact that each shot was matched that makes this work so well – didn’t even realize.

I’m not capable of doing that, but this asks for answers in the Youtube-community where sitcoms like The Bold and The Beautiful, Dallas / Dinasty, the Simpsons or That 70′s Show and so on show uncanny resemblances to Magnum-P.I. and Star-Wars P.I.

Forgive me: I don’t see it and I don’t get the whole “Star Wars” thing, the first three movies were “Good” “Kinda good” and “Ok, I guess” but the whole rest of it begs the question, IMHO (relax, keep your shirts on) “Don’t you have homework due tomorrow?”

Now come on, whatever you think of the Star Wars franchise is one thing, but you gotta give it up for Han Solo. One of the best fictional characters ever created, and this is just brilliant compare/contrast with Magnum P.I.’s opener.

Most young people these days would probably recognize Tom Selleck as whatsername’s occasional older boyfriend on Friends, and probably don’t even know a thing about Magnum.
What I find odd looking back at the credits is: no major female roles? I can barely remember the show, but I remember Magnum was a bit of a tomcat. Otherwise, these credits might set off one’s gaydar.
