Hawaii Five-0

Lanakila - S1-E4

Continuity mistake: Danny knocks interrupting the brother/sister moment; Mary in the second shot is leaning against her right hand, not so in the previous close-up. (00:20:05)

Sammo

Lanakila - S1-E4

Continuity mistake: Inside Steve's office, Mary says that she would have taken anything from their dad, even disappointment,"because at least it would have been something." In that close-up, her hair is noticeably different than in the rest of the scene, much thinner over the shoulders. (00:19:45)

Sammo

Lanakila - S1-E4

Continuity mistake: When Steve says to his sister "I don't get it, Mary", he is rolling (again) the right sleeve which becomes the left at the cut mid-sentence. (00:19:30)

Sammo

Lanakila - S1-E4

Continuity mistake: Dana's fiancé unzips her as instructed and tells her "God, you're beautiful" and cups her face. Cut and suddenly she has her hands on his cheeks as well. (00:16:15)

Sammo

Lanakila - S1-E4

Continuity mistake: When the sheriff's snipers drop the man in orange, he lies on the floor with his legs in the sun, some other shots fully in shadow. (00:01:40)

Sammo

Malama Ka Aina - S1-E3

Continuity mistake: Kono and Danny do a bit of theatrics distracting Frank Salvo and his men that are about to waste cousin Sid. The henchman behind the Samoan gang member is not touching him in the wide shot, but has both hands on his shoulders in the closer cut. (00:34:15)

Sammo

Malama Ka Aina - S1-E3

Continuity mistake: Kono just entered the casino posing as waitress-entertainer. She is snooping around and a guy promptly shoos her back with the others. She does a sassy lil' move with her right hand...but it's the left hand at the cut. (00:28:25)

Sammo

Malama Ka Aina - S1-E3

Continuity mistake: When Danny and Steve leave Joey in the shark cage, he looks at them panicked grabbing the side with the ladder, but when they take off, he's clinging to the opposite side of the cage. (00:22:35)

Sammo

Malama Ka Aina - S1-E3

Continuity mistake: After the opening, Kono check out of the unidentified victim. In close-up his torso is fuly covered, in the wider shot his jacket is open showing bare skin between jacket and wifebeater. (00:04:55)

Sammo

Malama Ka Aina - S1-E3

Continuity mistake: When Danno talks about tennis and is interrupted by his daughter he tells her "You're supposed to be paying attention" with the foam hand at the side of her head, which disappears at the cut. (00:01:40)

Sammo

Ohana - S1-E2

Continuity mistake: Danny and Steve are driving from the hotel to the contractor's house. Every time the camera cuts to Scott Caan, Alex O'Loughlin's hand is in the foreground on the same spot at about 1 o' clock of the steering wheel, regardless of what his character is doing. In the second part of the conversation (after the 'fear of death' mention) he even blatantly drives with his left arm, but still we see just a right hand during Caan's close-ups. (00:17:10)

Sammo

Ohana - S1-E2

Continuity mistake: When on the roof Danny is having pleasant conversation with the terrorist about sepsis and organ failure, the guy has his bleeding arm first all bare to the elbow, then covered by his jacket. (00:14:55)

Sammo

Ohana - S1-E2

Continuity mistake: When the trio is on the hotel roof interrogating the member of the gang of kidnappers, Steve is leaning over to speak and has his hands on his knees, but after a close-up on Chin, there's a shot where Steve is standing. (00:14:40)

Sammo

Ohana - S1-E2

Continuity mistake: Danny shows up with a paper bag at Steve's and when Steve asks about the contents, he says it's those "donut-looking things they sell around the block." He passes the bag of malasadas from the left hand to the right, but it cuts to Alex O'Loughlin and we see in frame Danny's right hand, empty. (00:03:55)

Sammo

Ohana - S1-E2

Continuity mistake: Roland Lowry is speaking with his son at the beginning of the episode. When his son whines that daddy is such a dictator, the position of his fingers on the phone changes between shots (fingertip on the back of the phone, fingertip on the side of the phone). (00:00:55)

Sammo

Pilot - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: Steve manages to fire 2 to 5 shots through the car's windshield (the windshield is intact before that), but when the car crashes into the container it has no less than 6 bullet holes in it. And when he pulls Sang Min out of the car, from that camera angle the windshield has no bullet holes. (00:35:00)

Sammo

Lehu a Lehu - S6-E2

Visible crew/equipment: Danny is supposed to be looking for the suspect in the woods by himself and you can see another person on the top right hand side of the frame. The crew member looks as if he knows he is in the way and slowly backs away. (00:35:15)

Ma lalo o ka 'ili - S4-E17

Question: Why did Tommy chase after Kelly with a loaded weapon in his hand towards the police after she ran from his car towards them? Common sense would have said that to do so meant the police would have no choice but to shoot to kill.
