Mondays Are for Murder - S2-E13
Continuity mistake: Magnum and TC are in a stairway. TC points a security camera up so it does not cover a landing. Magnum and TC exchange a conversation, and the next time the camera is shown, it is pointing at the landing again. (00:12:55)

Loa'a pono ka 'iole i ka punana. - S10-E13
Other mistake: Grover is going through the personal effects of a victim. He picks up a phone, attempts to open it and declares it locked. When it is put in the evidence bag, you can see it is open. (00:13:10)
17th Jan 2020
Factual error: Continuing the crossover with Hawaii Five-0, the CIA is supposedly searching people's homes, holding hostages, threatening to kill them if an SD card is not produced. This is not what the CIA does. They gather intelligence overseas, not domestically. And they are not a law enforcement agency. The FBI handles matter within the US.

Ihea 'oe i ka wa a ka ua e loku ana? - S10-E12
Factual error: A CIA officer stops McGarrett and companions from entering a house to make an arrest. The mistakes here are numerous: 1 - The "CIA officers" have protective vests that say "CIA" on them. No such thing. 2 - They are carrying weapons. Only officers in the Security Protective Service and those officers in a war zone carry weapons. 3 - The CIA is not a law enforcement agency. The FBI handles matters domestically. 4 - The CIA's responsibility is to collect intelligence and information overseas. Last I looked, Hawaii was part of the United States. (00:33:10)

Ihea 'oe i ka wa a ka ua e loku ana? - S10-E12
Factual error: Higgins gets counterintelligence documents from an operative. The document says "CLASSIFIED" at the top. A real document would have the actual classification, e.g., TOP SECRET - NOFORN; SECRET, etc. on it and not the word "classified." To make matters worse, at the bottom the word is misspelled "CLASSAFIED" (00:27:30)
17th Jan 2020
Ihea 'oe i ka wa a ka ua e loku ana? - S10-E12
Factual error: McGarrett and Magnum pull up to a house in the Ferrari. Sound effects are squealing brakes. Brembo Ferrari brakes do not squeal, especially at such a slow speed. (00:14:55)
17th Jan 2020
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)
4th Jan 2020
Factual error: A taxi pulls up to a private jet at an airport in Hawaii. A public taxi cannot just pull up to an aircraft at an airport. It needs clearance to access airside areas. (00:21:05)
4th Jan 2020
Other mistake: Magnum is shown in Captain Greene's office in uniform. He is wearing a US Navy Parachuteist Badge, his SEAL trident, and has the rank of Lieutenant. In the show intro section, he is always shown wearing just the trident, and has the rank of Lieutenant Commander. Was he demoted? (00:03:15)

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)

10th Nov 2019
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)
10th Nov 2019
Factual error: The plane taking McGarrett from Panama to Mexico purports to be owned by a Mexican fishing company. But the registration number on the plane starts with an N and has 5 numbers and a letter. First of all, a Mexican aircraft would not have a registration number starting with an N. That is reserved for aircraft of US registry. All that aside, the registration number is invalid. US aircraft have at most five characters after the N. The registration - as I suspected - was shown to be in an invalid format when queried in the Federal Aviation Administration database. (00:11:18)
10th Nov 2019
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)
10th Nov 2019
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)
8th Oct 2019
Continuity mistake: A taxi is pursuing a Mercedes sedan. At one point they collide - taxi left side and Mercedes right side. Later in the chase, the scrapes and tire marks on the Mercedes are on its left side instead of its right. (00:08:37 - 00:09:39)
19th Aug 2019
Most Likely to Go Your Way (And I'll Go Mine) - S1-E5
Continuity mistake: A group of people are standing before a door with full glass inserts. It has a thought processor for access. Once the group defeats the processor, they open the doors. But the doors are now solid wood, not with a glass insert. (00:29:20)
29th Jul 2019
Factual error: Dr. Fielding is dead inside the JPL building. His blood is dripping onto a telegraph key and it is sending perfectly comprehensive Morse Code. The blood drips are too random to do that. (01:13:25)
Suggested correction: It's clear he was alive at one point, and the way he has positioned shows he was probably already sending that. There was a break from him sending it, and it's clear the kids didn't understand the morse code, which could be the point his blood was dripping.
That could be. OK.
29th Jul 2019
Other mistake: The girl turns on all generators in the basement of the JPL building. Yet there is no power to the basement where she is. Just flashes of light, highlighting the suspense. There is power everywhere else. (01:23:10)
Suggested correction: The building is severely damaged. There could be several reasons why the power in the basement isn't working.
You have a point. Thanks.
29th Jul 2019
Plot hole: The girl in the basement of the JPL building comes across a locked door with a combination lock. She hits a few buttons and the door opens. There was no way she could know the combination. She is at JPL for the first time in her life and everybody - except her three friends she came with - is dead. (01:23:20)
