Next time I visit in Hawaii I should try and find that same Honolulu location where the shot was taken and then ask her to stand in the same spot for a photo. She Is such a good sport I think she would oblige. (From a present travel to Japan, she just shared a video clip of the deer at Nara nibbling her from behind.)
The cinematographer did a great job making her look so helpless, trapped and vulnerable by the way he positioned her in that scene adding dramatic effect to Magnum's heroics.

Pictured above, net fishing by Japanese fishermen on the Noto Peninsula as captured by my camera in October of 1968 after bicycling the 60 miles from Kanazawa, Japan. Hawaiian hukilau fishing also requires a group effort to haul the fish to shore in a net.

Origin of The Shaka and The Polynesian Cultural Center in Oahu
The Polynesian Culture Center on the North Shore of Oahu is a must see for visitors to Hawaii. Interestingly the "Aloha Greeting Sign” with the middle three fingers of the hand folded back (other wise known as The Shaka) originated there in the community of Laie where it is located.
Here is the backstory as I included it in a lesson that I researched and prepared on the subject of Hawaiian Culture while a volunteer teacher in Japan. We were teaching native Japanese students to prepare them for coming to Hawaii to continue their college studies in the United States.
The hukilau was organized in 1948 as a fund raising event to raise funds for a Latter-Day-Saints church that had burned down a year prior to Pearl Harbor being bombed. The hukilau consisted of a group pulling a net from the nearby sea filled with fish. To pull the net, ropes were attached and to make it easier to pull the ropes they wrapped the ropes with leaves which were used as gloves. Huki is the Hawaiian word for pulling and lau means leaves - thus they created term “hukilau’ to describe the activity.
Tourists and others from as far as Honolulu were invited to join in the event which was enhanced by the addition of a Hawaiian feast known as a luau and entertainment to include Hawaiian dancing and music. One of those visitors in 1948 was Jack Owens, a popular songwriter. The song he wrote based upon that visit was “The Hukilau Song,” It is one of the most popular of Hawaiian songs even to this day.
Interestingly one of the organizers of the hukilau was a church leader whose middle three fingers had been lost in an accident at a nearby sugar mill, the remnants of which can still be seen today. His trademark wave began to be copied by the Hawaiian children as they would bend their middle three fingers to wave back to him. Eventually the greeting caught on with everyone and it is now a popular greeting throughout Hawaii which is called the shaka.
As for the Hukilau it became a fund raising event that continued for years after the Laie Ward Chapel was rebuilt and eventually was the inspiration for what is now known as The Polynesian Cultural Center located in Laie. Today one can still walk from the campus of BYU Hawaii to visit the beach on the seashore where the original hukilaus were held. Fittingly it is now named, “Hukilau Beach.”

I actually think I might still have some of those S&H Green Stamps. Curious if they are worth anything?
