Ihea 'oe i ka wa a ka ua e loku ana? - S10-E12
Visible crew/equipment: McGarrett and Magnum are working together in this crossover show. They leave a suspect's house and before the scene changes they are outside, and through the door windows you can see a crew member through the glass moving right to left. This is supposed to be an empty house. (00:19:00)
Hana Mao 'ole ka ua o Waianae - S9-E25
Other mistake: When McGarrett and Danny are on their way to the airport where Ian Wright is departing from, there's a shot of their black Camaro sliding through a corner. When they arrive at the airport it's not the same vehicle. (00:31:00 - 00:31:37)
Ne'e aku, ne'e mai ke one o Punahoa - S10-E8
Other mistake: Five-0 discover the camouflaged crash of a Cessna supposedly carrying 170 pounds of heroin (as mentioned previously) in the jungle. The heroin is indeed discovered inside the plane, but the heroin is still neatly stacked in the back seat, even though it does not seem to have been secured. Related, a DEA agent had mentioned that there was 100 million dollars worth of heroin being brought to Hawaii. 170 pounds has a street value (according to the DEA website) of $800,000 per 20 pounds. This would only be $6.8 million, not $100 million. (00:25:30)
Ne'e aku, ne'e mai ke one o Punahoa - S10-E8
Factual error: The Five-0 team is discussing the helicopter incident where three people were killed. Junior states that they could find no prints or DNA at the helicopter. Yet the helicopter was full of blood, and the perpetrator (seen later) was covered with bloody wounds. It would have been impossible NOT to find the killer's DNA at the very least in the blood. (00:08:30)
Ne'e aku, ne'e mai ke one o Punahoa - S10-E8
Other mistake: When a helicopter encounters a problem and declares an emergency, the pilot declares a Mayday and says the craft is N-9128R. This is false. The registration on the helicopter is shown as N-437MY. (00:01:28)
Character mistake: McGarrett's team is in place for an assault. One of the members spots the "Rosita", a ship, not a person as they expected. But he calls it a Panamax ship, which it definitely is not. It is a smallish container ship, incapable of hauling 4,500 containers as a Panamax ship could. (00:23:57)
Factual error: McGarrett is reviewing a brief on a suspected cartel operative. He shows a picture and says it is called a "tela de araña" saying it is a spider web. Wrong. A spider web in Spanish is a "telaraña", all one word. (00:05:13)
Factual error: A man gets out of his car and identifies himself as a Special Agent. He shows McGarrett a badge and an ID card identifying him as a Special Agent of the CIA. There is no such thing. The CIA does not have Special Agents. They have Operations Officers. And it would be extremely unlikely they would have a badge, as they are not law enforcement officers. (00:01:45)
E Uhi Ana Ka Wa I Hala I Na Mea I Hala - S10-E3
Factual error: HPD's cyber unit is allegedly tracking an IP address, but the address onscreen starts with 258. Impossible, as IP addresses only go up to 255.
Mai ka po mai ka 'oia'i'o - S9-E9
Continuity mistake: When Jerry visits the comic store, the girl behind the counter brings him a new batch of comics. In that frame, the register's screen in front of her has a new Microsoft Edge web opened. The camera then refocuses on Jerry and Grover. A few seconds later, the camera refocuses on the girl behind the counter showing the register's screen has something else opened. (00:25:05)
Hana Mao 'ole ka ua o Waianae - S9-E25
Character mistake: The bad guy escapes on a private jet, narrowly avoiding being run off the runway, and he breathes a sigh of relief, thinking he's got away with it. But anyone with half a brain would know full well that given the cops know the plane he's in and where he started from, it's no challenge at all to track him, and at an extreme scramble a fighter to escort him back / shoot him down.
Hana Mao 'ole ka ua o Waianae - S9-E25
Character mistake: An escaping criminal steals an airplane and proceeds to take off. Let's not even discuss how a non pilot with just flight simulator time and no instruction could even do such a thing, especially starting it by watching a computer. What would never happen is that when confronted with a group of police cars in his way trying to prevent his takeoff, only then does he proceed to advance to full power. All takeoffs are done with full power from the beginning, otherwise you run the risk of never taking off at all. (00:31:40)
Other mistake: Outside the convenience store, the robber somehow manages to rapidly shoot at Danny 9 times from a 6 shooter.
Ai no i ka 'ape he mane'o no ko ka nuku. - S9-E18
Continuity mistake: Jerry is briefing the team. He says that HPD processed "the van" and found... This is the first mention that HPD even found a van. They were looking with keys found on the victim to see if nearby vehicles would fit them, but there was no prior mention that they had found any vehicle at all. (00:08:50)
Other mistake: Lou Grover is searching an apartment when he comes across five silver-topped drug vials in a bag. He reaches in and takes four of them, and then declares he has found the drug dealer's inventory. Why did he leave one behind? (00:27:10)
Ikiiki i ka la o Keawalua - S9-E14
Factual error: A bomb maker is seen soldering a printed circuit board. He has a soldering iron in his left hand, and a voltmeter probe in his right. There is no reason to have a voltmeter probe on the board. First of all you would need a ground probe as well, not a soldering iron. Second, when you are soldering you need to feed the soldering iron with a soldering wire, which he is not doing. (00:20:15)
Ke iho mai nei ko luna - S9-E13
Continuity mistake: McGarett is going to free dive to Neptune 1 to take some scuba tanks to the crew below. We see him get in the water, and there is one tank ready to be passed to him. In the next shot he is being given the tanks, only now there are two. (00:37:10)
Ke iho mai nei ko luna - S9-E13
Factual error: Full aluminum scuba tanks are 1.5 pounds negatively buoyant when full of breathing air. Two of them would be 3 pounds negative. Yet McGarrett is using them to propel him down to 127 meters as if they were very heavy weights. (00:37:25)
Ke iho mai nei ko luna - S9-E13
Factual error: Three divers arrive at Neptune 1 submarine station where they test the atmosphere at 3% oxygen, 80% helium, 17% nitrogen. Breathing that much helium would make their voices quite high pitched. But their speech is normal. (00:14:30)
Ke iho mai nei ko luna - S9-E13
Factual error: A Neptune 1 dweller is suffering from a panic attack. One of the Five-O members asks if they have any oxygen. Using pure oxygen at that depth could be fatal. At 14 atmospheres of pressure - the pressure of Neptune 1 - pure oxygen would definitely cause oxygen toxicity. Oxygen toxicity is a concern for scuba divers who dive beyond recreational depth limits, use gas blends such as enriched air nitrox, or use 100% oxygen as a decompression gas. Pulmonary oxygen toxicity causes a burning sensation in the trachea, coughing, shortness of breath, and eventually lung failure. (00:14:45)
Chosen answer: They are Junior's SEAL buddies.
