Audio problem: Volkswagen Beetles had a very distinctive "putt-putt" engine noise. In every scene with the bad guy following Ryan and McBride in a VW Beetle, the sound effects dubbed in post-production belong to a much larger, standard American car, and not to a VW at all. (00:26:00)
Ain't Nobody Here Named Barney - S1-E17
Continuity mistake: The murderer places the combination lock on the trailer door upside down, with the dial facing in. In the next shot, the lock has flipped itself over and now has the dial facing out. (00:29:20)
Trivia: In an homage to the king of Hawaii-based cop shows, Hawaii Five-O, Don Ho tells MacBride and Ryan at the end that if they ever break up his night club again, he's going to call McGarrett. Ryan gives MacBride a baffled look and just before the freeze-frame, queries, "Who's McGarrett?"
