Magnum, P.I.: Legend of the Lost Art (1988) Reviews
This episode was clearly inspired by the movie megahit Raiders of the Lost Ark -- and as such constitutes an elaborate inside joke, referencing the fact that series star Tom Selleck had been forced to relinquish the role of Indiana Jones to Harrison Ford. The plot begins to snowball when Higgins (John Hillerman) dispatches Magnum (Selleck) to locate the "Lost Art of the Ancients" before the scroll's secrets can be put to bad use. Along the way, our hero has a few close (and strangely familiar) encounters with a feisty former girlfirend (Margaret Colin, who later co-starred with Selleck in Three Men and a Baby), a sinister foreigner, and a longtime enemy (what, no Sherpa warrior?) ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
