Trivia
The Mercury in McGarrett's father's garage used to belong to Jack Lord. Lord gave the car to John Boley Nordlum (Lord's stunt double) after the series ended.

Goofs
When Steve McGarrett Alex O'Loughlin and Danny Williams Scott Caan are racing to catch the Chinese cargo ship, they are shown driving a late model Ford Crown Victoria, with the passenger cabin squared-off at the rear and the rear doors having a two-part window, with an integrated sidelight (1998 or later), but when the car is shown making the run on the straightaway and up the ramp onto the ship, it is a previous generation Crown Vic (1992-1997), with the rounded rear of the passenger cabin, and the sidelights behind and separate from the rear door windows. Then, once the car is on the deck of the ship, it reverts to the later model Crown Vic.

Quotes
Det. Danny Williams: [as McGarret exits the car] Hey. Hey! HEY! This guy Doran's a shooter, all right? We shouldn't be doing this without back up.
Det. Steve McGarrett: You *are* the backup.
Det. Danny Williams: I'm the back up? I hate him. I hate him so much.

Promising beginning

I watched this show with low expectations; I liked Jack Lord and Wo Fat and the theme song. The theme song made my day! The cast is amazing; great casting from the lead all the way through. Good solid character actors doing what they do best: act. The writing is perhaps a bit derivative but it rather has to be; there are only so many plots.but the cast and writers make the best of it. Sure it is an 'odd buddy' movie but also one mixed with a touch of "Magnificent Seven" or "Chichi no Samurai". The interaction between these folks and the rest of the cast, in fact all the interpersonal relations, are well written. Good human relations without soap opera. The sketching of what makes Hawaii different is very well done, much better indeed than what I recall of the Lord series. So it is a very promising beginning.
