[edit] Error in article

The article states: "Another legacy is the popularity of the arranged Hawaii Five-O theme song performed by The Ventures, a surf music band (The TV theme sounds different than The Ventures one.)."

This is probably wrong. As I wrote in the discussion in Talk:The Ventures article, it was Morton Stevens that wrote and performed the Hawaii Five-0 theme, not the Ventures. The Ventures later covered the song but had nothing to do with the TV-series. But I am not certain. - Kricke 16:07, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Errors in TV Show

• In episode "For a Million..Sure":
  • The so called "Armored Truck" is actually a utility truck seen in other episodes.
  • Three guards are killed-yet no mention is made of killed 3rd guard by Hawaii Five-O!!
  • Furthermore while the ending is supposedly set in San Francisco, the Aloha Tower is clearly seen in background!
• In Episode "Hookman" errors abound:
  • In the Chase scene of McGarrett after killer's car, the criminals car is seen driving away from the docks under control. It is not explained how car ended up in harbor!!
  • Killer has brusies on face after car accident-yet next day there is no bruises!!
  • Before McGarrett enters killer's apartment, killer escapes-but how? Steve McGarret is in the only passageway and aparment window is closed!!
  • When Killer shoots at McGarrett through window-an outside camera shot shows window is painted over!! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 134.53.145.126 (talk • contribs) 23:27, 22 May 2006 (UTC).

• Wikipedia generally doesn't catalog continuity and other errors, which are generally not notable enough to be encyclopedic. --Dhartung | Talk 17:32, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Theme music used in "Shrek 2" (2004)

The theme for "Hawaii Five-O" can be heard at the beginning of "Shrek 2" (2004), when one of the palace musicians begins playing it, instead of the usual royal fanfare music.24.92.48.99 05:08, 15 April 2006 (UTC)Bennett Turk

[edit] FBI and "Hawaii Five-O"

I read somewhere, that the FBI mailed a letter to Honolulu, requesting the aid of "Hawaii Five-O", and specifically metioning Steve McGarrett. I do not know if the story is true, or if it is fiction.204.80.61.10 14:20, 17 April 2006 (UTC)Bennett Turk

Or perhaps the FBI is not stupid. C'mon, obvious urban legend. --Dhartung | Talk 17:34, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Why has there been no release on VHS/DVD ?

Considering all of the television shows that have found there way to being released on VHS/DVD, I am surprised a show as popular as "Hawaii Five-O" has not been one of them. Does anyone know a reason for this omission?204.80.61.10 14:19, 26 April 2006 (UTC)Bennett Turk

Amazon.com has a few select episodes, but no boxed sets US 71 02:50, 27 June 2006 (UTC)
