To Hell with Babe Ruth - S2-E2

Continuity mistake: When Nagata breaks into the boarded-up house, he walks through a doorway full of cobwebs, covering his black suit with white dust and webs. But when the shot changes, his suit is suddenly perfectly clean again. (00:10:00)

Fools Die Twice - S5-E6

Revealing mistake: A loud, fierce gun battle rages between dozens of 5-0 sharpshooters, Army MPs and the desperadoes inside the payroll office. Amidst all the high-powered rifle fire, a woman in a blue dress strolls casually by in the background, well within bullet range, and never even turns her head to see what all the ruckus is about. Gee, you'd think colossal shooting wars broke out on her block every day. (00:13:30)

Death Wish on Tantalus Mountain - S5-E2

Character mistake: McGarrett tells Pereno that the sabotaged race car went over a cliff. But the car crashed into a wall, with no cliff in sight. It's very unlike Hawaii's top cop to get the facts wrong - especially when he was an eye witness to the event. (00:44:00)

Computer Killer - S7-E15

Revealing mistake: In last scene, the killer, Aarons, is shown being led into court handcuffed. When they then film from the back, you can see his right hand free, and he quickly moves it to the other to make it appear like he really is handcuffed.

A Bullet for El Diablo - S6-E10

Factual error: Pepe and Carlos are driving a '62 Chevy. When they watch Ramos' motorcade pass, there's an insert shot of a key in the steering column as they start the car. In a 1962 model, the ignition would have been on the dash, not the steering column. (00:13:15)

King of the Hill - S1-E15

Character mistake: While trying to figure out how to evacuate the other patients in order to get to Danny, McGarrett mentions a patient's daughter in room 309, but it's mentioned in other scenes that the man and his daughter are in room 306.

Samurai - S1-E6

Continuity mistake: When McGarrett tells Deedee he thinks Tokura is still alive, he holds up Tokura's ring as proof. He holds the ring with his right hand, but when the shot cuts to Deedee and back, he's holding the ring in his left hand. (00:35:30)

Samurai - S1-E6

Audio problem: When McGarrett receives a phone call in his office while talking with Chin Ho, he picks the receiver up, but the buzzing ring continues for a few more seconds. (00:41:15)

The Ninety-Second War (1) - S4-E16

Factual error: An injured McGarrett is trapped in an overturned car, which emergency workers flip over before cutting him free. No rescue crew would ever do this: such violent movement could kill the patient. It's crucial that crash victims be extricated without causing further trauma: McGarrett would be freed leaving the wreck exactly where it was - upside down. (00:07:25)

Odd Man In - S4-E14

Continuity mistake: At the end, Filer puts his jacket on, and the left side of his shirt collar is sticking out above the coat. Every time the camera angle changes, though, the shirt collar is neatly tucked in. (00:49:00)

More quotes from Hawaii Five-O

Trivia: Danno was played by Tim O'Kelley in the 5-0 pilot. But a NY test audience told CBS they didn't buy him as a serious cop because he was too much of a "smart-cracking, Jimmy-Olsen-type gee-whiz kid." Leonard Freeman took the criticism to heart, and recast the part with James MacArthur for the series.

More trivia for Hawaii Five-O

Answer: He was fired. He never really appreciated his character. He felt Kono was portrayed as a big dumb Hawaiian and that the stereotype was racist. He also felt underutilized. He was fired after a heated argument with the show's publicist regarding his character. It seems there's not much details given regarding the incident or the firing, so it's seems possible he upset the show's producers as well.

No he said something derogatory about one of the Jewish producers that's why he was fired.

Answer: He was asked to speak at a local organization event but the producer insisted that Jack Lord be also there. It was an event in honor of Hawaiians and that set him off. He used a derogatory name for the Jewish producer and that pretty much ended his stint on the show.
