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)
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.
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)
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)
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)
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)
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)
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)
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)
Question: McGarrett was operating alone in Mexico when Junior joined him, against McGarrett's instructions to wait for him to ask Junior to come. He also brought two other persons. Who were they and where did they come from?
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)
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)
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)
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)
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)
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)
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.
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)
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)
Other mistake: There is a countdown on the movie screen. It is then reflected in Dusty's glasses. But the numbers are not reversed in the glasses.(00:41:00)
