Trivia
This is erroneously listed as 1 episode when it is actually 2 episodes "part 1 & 2" as it has always been broadcast. It needs to be split in 2 as the whole entire list is therefore wrong (episode 2 being #3) etc. Someone fix this.

Goofs
This takes place on the Caribbean but---when Starsky and Hutch are riding from the airport to the hotel---one can clearly tell they're in Hawaii due to the very green mountain range behind them.

Quotes
Papa Theodore: [while performing Voodoo] Boombaya Bombay! Boombaya Bombay!

Voodoo Island Gone Mad

I'll say right from the start that I do not like 2-part episodes of any TV show. Two-part episodes are typically bloated and slow and don't have a reason to exist other than to feed the ego of the writer, but there are exceptions of course. But generally speaking I don't like them. So you better dance for your supper if you're going to make me sit through a 2-part episode. You better make it great. Well, this is not great. As I expected it really started to wear me out before it was over. There's a lot of 70's silliness in this episode. And I'm cool with a little silliness here and there, but there's too much in this episode. I got through it with some fast forwarding here and there, especially in part two. If I was not a fan of S&H I probably could not have gotten through it. If you're new to S&H don't start with this episode. It's really for the people who want to see every single episode of S&H. I hadn't seen it since the 70's so I wanted to see it again.
