Lehu a Lehu - S6-E2

Visible crew/equipment: Danny is supposed to be looking for the suspect in the woods by himself and you can see another person on the top right hand side of the frame. The crew member looks as if he knows he is in the way and slowly backs away. (00:35:15)

Pua a'e la ka uwahi o ka moe - S9-E7

Factual error: A 1932 haulage receipt is shown on screen. It says Hawaii, HI. There was no such abbreviation used for Hawaii until June 1963. The territory was spelled out in full. In June 1963 it was HAW, and then changed to HI in October 1963 with the advent of ZIP codes. (00:38:50)

No ke ali'i wahine a me ka 'aina - S7-E2

Factual error: Five-0 brings up a map of all nuclear power plants in Western Europe that is completely inaccurate - most of the trefoil markers in Great Britain are placed nowhere near nuclear installations, and has 3 in Ireland (which doesn't have any nuclear reactors).

He puhe'e miki - S10-E20

Other mistake: The team, guns up, aimed, and ready, interrupt the meeting on the rooftop which has just ended in a shootout. Steve tells Cynthia to put the gun down or they'll have to put her down, and Junior menacingly cocks his rifle as if to emphasise the point. What, it wasn't already ready to fire? He's walked into a potential firefight with his weapon raised but it wasn't actually fireable yet?

He kohu puahiohio i ka ho'olele i ka lepo i luna - S10-E17

Factual error: Thieves make off with 10 million dollars transferred to an offshore bank. The money is shown supposedly in a medium-sized black satchel carried in one hand by one of the accomplices. The largest US bill in circulation is the $100 bill. And one million dollars in $100 bills weigh 22 pounds. So ten million would weigh 220 pounds. There is no way that amount would fit in such a satchel, and much less be carried around dangling by one hand.

E'ao lu'au a kualima - S9-E17

Factual error: A defibrillator is needed immediately. Adam runs to a storage closet and rummages around for a while, and finally finds a defibrillator deep under other things. This medical clinic is a public place. No one would ever bury an automated external defibrillator (AED) under other items in a storage room. AEDs would be visible and accessible for just such emergencies, as instructed on the devices themselves. (00:35:35)

Pono Kaulike - S5-E18

Character mistake: After being asked in class, Max refers to what he does as a "vivisection of a once-living organism", which in itself is a contradiction because vivisections are performed on living organisms. What Max does is called dissection, or more specifically autopsy, because he does it to determine the cause of death.

He Kaha Lu'u Ke Ala, Mai Ho'okolo Aku - S8-E8

Continuity mistake: When the lab tech is talking about the plane part, she places a Surface Dial on the screen. Throughout the entire scene the Dial keeps moving around between instant cuts, sometimes more towards the right edge, sometimes more towards the center. In one shot it's right at the bottom edge, then in the very next shot it's further up the screen. And shortly afterwards, when the lab tech says "they're too precise", it's off the screen entirely and lying on the desk.

Na Pilikua Nui - S6-E6

Continuity mistake: When Jerry is on the video call with Kono, he is wearing white makeup with red around his eyes, but when the shot shows him and the phlebotomist in the room, the makeup is gone.

Elua la ma Nowemapa - S7-E9

Factual error: During the show, they flash back to November 1963 and have Don Ho in a nightclub performing "Tiny Bubbles." The problem is Don Ho didn't release that song until 1966.

Kai e'e - S1-E15

Visible crew/equipment: When showcasing the empty road as well as Danny's Camaro taking a sharp left for an action scene, there is a camera dead center in the road, and they drive right behind it. (00:28:59)

Ho'oma'ike - S5-E6

Continuity mistake: Mr. Weiss is in the hospital talking with Chin, Kono and Lou with bandages covering both ears that were supposedly chopped off by Sam Cole During the conversation we see the bandages change to above his right ear showing his ear is fine. Next the shot shows bandages are covering both ears, then the shot switches again with bandages above his right ear, then back to covering both ears. (00:31:22)

Ha'alele - S2-E20

Revealing mistake: As you see Danny enter his office you can see Kamekona's reflection in the glass pane in the upper right hand corner of the screen above where Danny has a couple of pictures on a table, clearly waiting for his cue. A few seconds later is when you see Kamekona burst into Danny's office to discuss something with Danny. (00:02:13)

Ma lalo o ka 'ili - S4-E17

Question: Why did Tommy chase after Kelly with a loaded weapon in his hand towards the police after she ran from his car towards them? Common sense would have said that to do so meant the police would have no choice but to shoot to kill.
