Magnum, P.I. (TV Series) Missing in Action (1981) User Reviews

All action Magnum!

[mm-39 · 8/10 · 27 July 2021]

A girlfriends missing boyfriend who's is M I A, but really special operations has Magnum on the case. The 12 to 15 years male of my age demographic I was in my youth loved this episode. What works for Missing in Action is the ingredients of a secret mission, hit teams, and a cold C I A guy. There is car chases, automatic gun fire, contacts, and Magnums insights into the mix of. A memorable show. There is a pretty girl of course too add for this Magnum episode! Fun to watch 8 stars.

Jeff MacKay appears in this episode as the iconic Lieutenant "Mac" MacReynolds, a US Naval Officer, who in this episode helps Magnum about with an M. I. A..

Lance LeGault appears as Agent John Newton) before being re-cast in his re-occurring role as Colonel Buck Greene. I remember Lance from The A-Team playing a military guy on the hunt for the A-Team.
