Hawaii Five-O (1968)

Goofs

The Payoff

Hawaii Five-O

Edit

Continuity

When Vince asks Madge if she spent any of the money in his pocket, which was part of the ransom money, she says she spent 25 dollars. Yet, when Steve gets a phone call from the bank, he is informed that four 10 dollar bills were passed.

Factual errors

Danny pulls the money out of the mattress, riffles through it for a couple of seconds and declares that it is $4,820. There is a stack of hundred dollars bills with a wrapper that shows $1,000. There are two problems here, hundreds don't come packed in that small amount, and a thousand dollars in hundred is only ten bills while the stack clearly has at least 30 or 40 bills which would amount to thirty or forty thousand dollars.

The stack of tens has a wrapper that shows $100, which would be only 10 bills while the stack has at least thirty or forty bills which would be three hundred or four hundred dollars.

Clearly, the amount of money in the shot far exceeds the $4,820 that Danny says is present.

The same problem exists for all the other denominations.

Errors in geography

In the "establishing shot" (probably a stock shot) of the Seattle skyline, the image is anamorphic or squeezed which makes the Space Needle look much taller and narrower than the real thing and Mount Rainier, on the horizon, appear unnaturally steep and pointy.

Plot holes

Madge says she spent $25.00 of the hot money to buy earrings. Assuming she only had tens, she would have given the clerk three bills and gotten change. However, later Mcgarrett gets a phone call from the bank telling him that the clerk from the gift shop where Madge bought the earrings just deposited FOUR silver certificate ten-dollar bills from the hot money.
