Continuity mistake: 7-1 "The Young Assassins": The hotel towel draped over the first victim's beach chair instantly changes positions between shots. You can see the words "Aloha, Hawaii" emblazoned on it, until the shot changes. Then it's moved up, and only the word "Hawaii" and the hotel's logo are showing. (00:01:50)

Hawaii Five-O (1968)

Hawaii Five-O (1968)
Continuity mistake: Auston leaves the unconscious Dan Williams lying on his back. But in the next shot, Danno's lying on his side. Later, the seriously wounded Danno instantly changes positions between shots several more times, switching from face down to face up on the floor. (00:02:30 - 00:32:00)

Three Dead Cows at Makapuu (2) - S2-E24

Hawaii Five-O (1968)
Continuity mistake: Throughout first season: Due to stock footage spliced in from the pilot film, McGarrett's '68 4-door Mercury sedan often peeled away from the Ionali palace and then turned into a '67 2-door coupe as it cruised down Honolulu's streets.

Hawaii Five-O (1968)
Continuity mistake: 8-15 "Deadly Persuasion": Danny says he hasn't fired his old 45 automatic "since I got out of the service." But at least two previous episodes had established that he joined Five-O right out of college, and was never (not even before college) in the service.

Death is a Company Policy - S5-E1
Continuity mistake: The Five-O computer here lists McGarrett's name as Steven J. McGarrett. But in "A Gun for McGarrett," his middle name is revealed to be Aloysius. Strange that the computer doesn't know the name of its own department's head.

Continuity mistake: The bomber wants revenge on Danno for killing his brother, Joey Collins, whose death is recapped in flashbacks to a first season episode in which Danno first killed someone in the line of duty. But in that episode, Joey's name wasn't Joey or Collins - it was Thad Vaughn. (00:22:00)
