Battle of the Intros: Magnum PI vs Hawaii Five-0 (original series)

Jungle Bird (Magnum PI print) and Hawaii Five-0 t-shirt

The two most popular TV series ever shot in Hawaii are the original Hawaii Five-0 featuring the intense Jack Lord, and Magnum PI featuring the laid back Tom Selleck. Both shows featured exciting intros with catchy theme music.

Hawaii Five-0 has arguably the most iconic intro in the history of universe. It’s fast, furious and totally gets you in the mood to watch good guys catch bad guys.

Magnum PI’s intro is also quite awesome and kinda makes you want to drive fast, take a friend swimming and learn how to fly a helicopter. Note that the shirt Tom Selleck is wearing at the end of the video is the Jungle Bird aloha shirt that is now in the Smithsonian.

We like both! But what we’re more interested in knowing is which one you like better and why.

Big Wave Hawaiian Shirts (and more)

We just added two new shirts to the store. The Tiare print Hawaiian shirts (top) are also available in matching dresses. The red one really stands out and looks good with khaki pants.

The Five-0 Wave Hawaiians shirts (bottom) has a little bit of the famous Japanese painting “The Great Wave off Kanagawa” by Katsushika Hokusai and the Hawaii Five-0 wave in the opening credits of the original show. Though Paradise Found officially calls it Five-0, it reminds us more of the Hokusai painting. But it is a cool looking shirt either way.
