Magnum, P.I. Kapu (1980–1988) watch online HD

Attempting to serve court papers, Magnum witnesses a hit. Also a witness is Alealea, a native Hawaiian girl. Magnum saves Alealea from being killed by the hit man and is wounded in the getaway. Blacking out, Magnum later awakes on a rustic island inhabited by native Hawaiians. Magnum can't remember how or why he is on the island beyond a few details, including a girl. Strangely, no one acknowledges the existence of the girl, nor will they tell him where he is. Gradually his memory returns, and Magnum comes to realize he is on Kapu, an island forbidden to outsiders, home to native Hawaiians who shun the modern world. Magnum discovers Alealea on the island, and realizes her life is still in danger. But the islanders are determined to return Magnum as soon as possible, despite his fear it won't be long before the islanders' paradise is shattered by those looking to eliminate all witnesses to the murder.

The island of Kapu is based on the real island, Ni'ihau, which is west of Kaua'i. There are less than 200 permanent residents all of Hawai'ian descent. Visitors are strictly limited. The residents are known for their shell leis (lei pupu).

The title refers to the ancient set of Hawaiian laws or now is it translated "forbidden" or "sacred".

When the girl from "Kapu" falls her necklace brakes. The necklace is based on one of the distinguishing products of the island upon which this fictional island is based, which are made of puka shells of the wart turbans or kahelelani'ila'ula, which wash up on the shore every winter. A lei made of these tiny shells can be worth thousands of dollars.

The map shows some fictional islands north of Moloka'i, with "Kapu" being one of them. The actual "forbidden island" is Ni'iau, which is the westernmost of the Hawai'ian island chain. The island is also depicted as being quite lush, but this is not the case with the actual island. As it lies in the "rain shadow" of nearby Kauai and as it does not have a peak with an altitude conducive to attracting rain, it has regular droughts. As first described by Captain Cook, the island was treeless. Trees, which have served to attract more rainfall, were brought in by a descendant of the settler who had purchased the island in the 19th century. Depending on the presence or absence of drought, the population varies from 30 to around 170, Visitors, including relatives of the inhabitants, can only come by invitation. Much of the income comes from a U.S. tracking station, supplemented by scheduled hunts of the imported game by a limited number of foreigners.

The dancers at the luau are dancing on a woven mat. The actual place on which this island is based was once known for sleeping mats of extremely high quality but due to various factors the locals ceased making that type of mat by the end of the 19th century.
