There has been a persistent rumour for years that James Garner was originally pencilled in to make a cameo as Jim Rockford in this episode, but due to a dispute with Universal, the idea never came to fruition.

John D. MacDonald's 1962 novel A Flash of Green is seen on a nightstand in Magnum's hotel room. John D. MacDonald is one of the greatest mystery writers of all-time! In other episodes, Magnum is seen with books of Agatha Christie and Raymond Chandler

Beverly Hills Cop (1984)

 

Directed by Martin Brest. Eddie Murphy. My local library has a fantastic selection of Blu-rays. The reason I bought a Blu-ray player finally. Nine times out of ten I get The Rocketeer or 48 Hrs., or something like Beverly Hills Cop. Sounds good cranked up surround sound.

Fistful of Diamonds (1967)

 

Only a 4.8 IMDb rating but doesn't mean much for Eurospy movies. In general anything under a 6 IMDb is be wary of. Found on Youtube. Unfortunately this is the badly dubbed version that everyone says avoid. I'm used to it with spaghetti westerns and Eurospy on Youtube with variable quality.
