Continuity mistake: 12-17 "A Bird in Hand": We see Angie take photos of mobster Del Vecchi with a 35mm camera. But later on, she develops the same photos and says she took them with a 110 camera hidden in her purse. She's a professional photographer and would certainly know the difference between 35mm and 110 film.
Hawaii Five-O (1968)
1 continuity mistake in A Bird In Hand... - chronological order
Starring: James MacArthur, Jack Lord, Herman Wedemeyer, Kam Fong
Continuity mistake: 9-4 "Man on Fire": McGarrett's blackboard already lists plutonium as the poison source before Dr. Ormsbee enters to inform him that plutonium was the poison source.
Det. Steve McGarrett: Aloha. Aloha, suckers.
Trivia: Throughout the first two seasons, both McGarrett and Danno often referred to "Chief Dann of HPD." This was a thank-you to CBS programming chief Mike Dann, who helped first persuade the network to put Hawaii Five-0 on the air, and also got it a better time slot later on.
Question: Does anyone know why Zulu, who played Kono, left the show?
Answer: He was asked to speak at a local organization event but the producer insisted that Jack Lord be also there. It was an event in honor of Hawaiians and that set him off. He used a derogatory name for the Jewish producer and that pretty much ended his stint on the show.

Answer: He was fired. He never really appreciated his character. He felt Kono was portrayed as a big dumb Hawaiian and that the stereotype was racist. He also felt underutilized. He was fired after a heated argument with the show's publicist regarding his character. It seems there's not much details given regarding the incident or the firing, so it's seems possible he upset the show's producers as well.

No he said something derogatory about one of the Jewish producers that's why he was fired.
