Continuity mistake: The Russian spy Anna Novick picks up Dalton in a Silver sedan and continues into a shootout. The Sedan's identifying badge (Hyundai) switches between being present and not, throughout the entire scene. (00:23:50 - 00:27:25)

Lapa'au - S2-E8

Continuity mistake: When Steve and Danny go to Dr. Yang's office and find evidence of a struggle, they follow a blood trail out the back door. Danny starts to put gloves on as he stoops down to pick up a wallet on the ground. He only has one glove on before the camera angle switches to the view from behind him, then suddenly he's wearing gloves on both hands as he reaches for the wallet.

Kanalu Hope Loa - S5-E3

Continuity mistake: When Kono shoots the bad guy who then falls off the balcony and lands on the hood of a truck, his head is toward the front of the truck. Later when they bring out the female leader of the gang the guy is lying across the hood.

A'ale Ma'a Wau - S4-E2

Continuity mistake: A Texas Ranger spreads peanut butter on a suspect in a sugar cane field. The suspect is tied up on the ground and mostly on lying his back and right side. He spreads the peanut butter on his left arm, head and chest. In a later scene, the suspect is taking a shower and you see lots of peanut butter on his back, both his arms and the back of his head.

Ko'olauloa - S1-E6

Continuity mistake: At the end of the episode, the surfers are in the bay to spread Ian's ashes. Ben lets go of Kono's hand and is handed the urn with the ashes by the man to his right. He removes the lid of the urn and hands only the lid back. Yet in the overhead shot immediately following, the urn is back on the board of the man to Ben's right, and there is nothing on Ben's board. He's holding Kono's hand again. In the next shot, he is tipping the ashes from the urn.

Wahine'inoloa - S3-E8

Continuity mistake: Steve is talking to a female suspect. In one shot, her hair is off her face and the light source is strong from the left. Next shot, her hair is almost covering her right eye and the light is more diffuse and not as strong.

Ohana - S1-E2

Continuity mistake: In scene where Chin starts reviewing footage of white van attacking, in first shot a wheel from the NSA guy's van has rolled off and comes to rest immediately in front of attacking van's driver side front wheel. In next shot as driver exits, loose wheel is missing. (00:11:20)

Ko'olauloa - S1-E6

Continuity mistake: When McGarrett chases the bad guys' Jeep, his Camaro skids through several huge dust clouds. Immediately after each cloud, however, the car is perfectly clean again. This is visible in several of the very rapid shots throughout the chase. After the chase ends, a coating of dirt and mud (which, incidentally, differs from the earlier shots) appears on the Camaro.

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.
