THIS is the opening they should've used! It's a full minute like the original, and even has similar shots! The new version is great (at least they stayed true to the theme). It's just a little too short is all!
Great Job! This one is WAY better.....CBS should have thrown it open to the public to see who could come up with the best version instead of just accepting what's been churned internally.
Just Great! Your theme opening nicely blends the old and new shots together which the new producers lost sight of. What a great nod to TOS and kicking off a new and more modern cast. Older viewers feel the nostalgia, newer viewers don't mind because it all hawaii. The new show even shortened the theme song to 30 secs (so they can fit another 30 sec commercial). The greatest TV theme song ever. Just wrong.
I have to say THIS is the opening that CBS NEEDS to use ! wow this captures the flavor of the show's legacy and the excitement of the new series. Good work ! Thanks for your time in producing this !
The half minute version by CBS leaves many things to be desired. The music is too "MTV" and the characters don't have the same relationships as the original. Yes you can argue that its not a remake but the relationships is what made the show. Steve McGarrett was respected by Danno and I don't recall any show where they fought it out as they did in the season opener in 2010. Some of the action scenes are so much processed by sound and video effects that it seems more like ...
a movie than a TV show. And back to the music / opening scene; the original was organic sounding and was beautiful; without the rock'n'roll guitar of the new version. The long original featured so many shots of Hawaii that me as a child in the middle east got a good look at the landscape that when I actually went to Hawaii I remembered those shots. The new one seems to be for attention deficit kids who would flip the channel if it was too long.
This is great work! If only CBS and the producers of the new show hadn't felt the need to "update" the music as well as the characters (and shorten it by a third as well!). Thanks for making and sharing this.
This version is WAY better looking and sounding. Damn good job. I too agree that the new H50 looks like it is going to focus on the "cool factor" of the actors and their huge egos rather than on the plot and turn this into something unrecognizably ridiculous. I pray I am wrong but Danno is no Danno.
Veeerrrryyyyy nice! I love the transition from the 60's blue dome light to the light on the 2010 Hawaii police car! I have to agree, this (or something damn close to it) is what they should use.
Great cut of new footage with classic and what is probably the best TV show theme music ever done. Glad to hear that they are now going to use an updated, but mostly true to the original, music theme that was recently recorded. As they director said on the video on Youtube, "we didn't want to mess with such a great piece of music" or something to that effect. Anyway, glad to hear that decision was made. I will definitely be watching Hawaii Five O this season. I was a loyal viewer 68-80.
Learn about the REAL Hawaii in the cool new documentary Toward Living Pono (YouTube.com/TowardLivingPono) Actor Jason Scott Lee and others work to preserve culture and environment in the Islands--find out how you can get involved!
Thank you all for posting the links that they are redoing the music back to the original version! I never trust what someone "heard" on the internet and you guys really came through! If I wasn't pysched about the H5-0 reboot before, I'm over the moon now!
@DS9Sisko As far as the music goes just do a search on youtube "rebooting hawaii five-0" and give me an email address so I can send you an article that confirms they got rid of the rock theme for the original.
@zardcat1111 They more or less did that with the "new" opening. Somehow I think you believe THIS is the new opening for Hawaii Five-); it is not, as it says in the tiles and descrption. If you are talking about my mashup, it is a combination of the the old scenes and some newish footage. My other version (The Funky Fresh Remix is better than this one.)
@DS9Sisko I can't provide a link via youtube (doesn't allow me). give me your email address so i can send you the link of the article confirming this.
Thanks. It's fantastic. I really love the Hawaii Five-0 theme song, so memorable and iconic. I also look forward to watching this new show with an amazing and talented young cast.
The new FIVE O Cast & writers are a horrid abomination! Cast looks like teenage waifs; air headed & anorexic. They've turned the greatest show ever into an Mtv style classless & weak half ass comedy. A sick joke & slap in the face of Jack Lord's great legacy... God rest his soul!
I LOVE the way you edited this! The old music totally blows away the tinny, weak-ass new stuff (what's with the electronic drums? Lame!). Excellent merging of old opening and new. Loved it! I'm such a fan of the original show I'm afraid I'm not going to like the new one (who else could possibly be McGarrett except Jack Lord?), but because the people of Hawaii want so much for this new show to succeed, I'm going to give it a try. Help the ratings! Create jobs for Hawaii! :-)
Someone needs to make sure CBS seriously uses this as the opening for the show. Granted it may be a bit long for today's need to keep opening credits short to make more money for commercials but without this they may not get as many viewers thus less $ from advertisers.
At least run this opening for the pilot show and for any 2 hour shows they may have in the future like the original series did.
For real, you need to submit this to the producers as the regular show opening titles. The only thing I would suggest (loose suggestion) is the shot you bring up McGarret. I would time that with the original Jack Lord slate. When they had the crashing shot on JL and he turned to the camera--that was classic. If you could time that with the new stuff, you might get an Emmy nod. Excellent Editing!!!
This opening sequence is great. I loved the way the old and new were fused together. Although make a good attempt, no one could do that defiant turn like
EXCELLENT!!!! This is what the opening of the new series needs to look like! This is what I prayed it would look like! PERFECT! You have taken what needed to be and made it a reality. The only imperfection in your opening sequence is that it won't become THE opening sequence, and that's a shame.
Sadly, what is going to run is a clumsy remix of Mort Stevens iconic theme. A piece of music that relies so heavily on great percussion has apparently been recorded with a 2 year old on the drums.
This is a cool integration of the old and new series, especially since the opening for the 2010 version is so short. Nice to see you included the kid (Mel Kinney) and the late Elizabeth Logue.
The opening is good and compliments the original series. I just have one comment at this time. Why does Hollywood have so much trouble finding a handsome actor to play McGarrett? Granted, no one can fill Jack Lord's shows as far as face and hair, but can't they find a handsome actor to play McGarrett. This guy at the start (the memorable turn of the balcony) may be handsome by today's generation but not certainly not my generation.
Very good mix of the old and new. I don't like the new mix of the music, sounds like they just took a bad MIDI of the theme song and played it through an 8-bit Soundblaster Pro. The drums and the horns are the driving theme of the original but in the new music they've managed to neuter them both and make the whole thing into a buzzy beige sounding blah.

Now THIS is BRILLIANT! Kudos Kimo Borther! Yes, CBS should use this if not for the opening sequence then for fans to send in versions for a closing sequence which would bring out great imagination like THIS!
As an original series fan I've sent a note to CBS asking them to cameo an appearance by Hong Kong's Gift to Hollywood, Ka-Sheng (Nancy Kwan) who was McGarett's (Jack Lord's) love interest in the debut movie 'Cocoon" in 1968. This video is in the spirit of the orginal. Mahalo, Brudda!
Oh, how I wish the producers would use your version for the new show. Even thought the verision is likeable, yours is EXCELLENT, especially with the original theme. Keep up the good work.
I REALLY like YOUR edit! It's far better than th new 2010 show open. Yes, it's longer, but i don;t care. the music is iconic as are some of the images. YOU RULE!
HA! Looks like were both thinking the same thing. Classic score, new video, stretch it back out to 1 minute: Awesome! Take a look at my version. You'll like it.
sorry i missed it my friend......you rule. you might have a second career in editing/hollywood....you nailed it! you mixed old with new almost perfectly////and made sure to include the smiling/drunk/plumber in the hula dance original! lol!-----------------BRAVO!!!!!!!!!
One last thing, guys... even though he's long gone from the earth, I don't think it's too much to put something like this at the end of the sequence with the police light: "Based on the original series by Leonard Freeman."
@rocketman6464 Actually this is MY remix of the Hawaii Five-O theme and new opening credits with the old footage, as I said in the intro. ColliderVideos and CBS's YouTube page has the actual, official new opening.
@DS9Sisko Kudos for putting up this footage. Where I am concerned, YOUR rendition here is the "Hawaii Five-O"(2010) theme and open sequence OF RECORD!
I always liked this theme song. Seems to be the original opening just the actors are different. Hope the new show is successful, but I think for people that remember theoriginal series. It was on for years the original will be hard to replace..
@Glendale41 Compare what I did to the original opening and the remake (look to the right column at COlliderVideos and at the CBS version). As I plainly stated in the description, this is a REMIX of the old footage and the new footage with the classic theme song.
BRILLIANT Mix!!!! It really meshes both together very nicely! Although I like the Original music better and it would actually work for the new show, the background scenery should definitely be updated. Waikiki no longer looks the way it did when Jack Lord was around.
F--K YOU, TV exec's, for sacrificing good content(even theme music) on the altar of profit! You guys look and sound like a couple of sports team owners here in Buffalo who don't care about the product they put out as long as they fill their f--king pockets!

As an original series fan I've sent a note to CBS asking them to cameo an appearance by Hong Kong's Gift to Hollywood, Ka-Sheng (Nancy Kwan) who was McGarett's (Jack Lord's) love interest in the debut movie 'Cocoon" in 1968. This video is in the spirit of the orginal. Mahalo, Brudda!

@HW50BKM Thank you very much! But you should see the OTHER one I did, which is much better! LOL
YouTube won't let me post the link but it's the Hawaii Five-O Old School Funky Remix.

If the producers of the new series are smart, they'll pay you a fee, and use this as their credits. A huge improvement on what they have.

Oh, how I wish the producers would use your version for the new show. Even thought the verision is likeable, yours is EXCELLENT, especially with the original theme. Keep up the good work.

I REALLY like YOUR edit! It's far better than th new 2010 show open. Yes, it's longer, but i don;t care. the music is iconic as are some of the images. YOU RULE!

HA! Looks like were both thinking the same thing. Classic score, new video, stretch it back out to 1 minute: Awesome! Take a look at my version. You'll like it.

If CBS is bringing "Five-O" back... I'd like to see them come up with new versions of "Cannon," "Mission Impossible," and "Mannix."

One last thing, guys... even though he's long gone from the earth, I don't think it's too much to put something like this at the end of the sequence with the police light: "Based on the original series by Leonard Freeman."

hellacious job on the intro--they kept enough of the old mixed with new,,,,,,and they kept the smiling plumber in the hula dance part...lmao!!!
rocketman6464 1 year ago
@rocketman6464 Actually this is MY remix of the Hawaii Five-O theme and new opening credits with the old footage, as I said in the intro. ColliderVideos and CBS's YouTube page has the actual, official new opening.
DS9Sisko 1 year ago
@DS9Sisko Kudos for putting up this footage. Where I am concerned, YOUR rendition here is the "Hawaii Five-O"(2010) theme and open sequence OF RECORD!

I love the Hawaii Five-O theme song, with a brilliant and energetic young cast.

And the original music, which is still the better of the 2.

I like the way this mixes the classic old Hawaii footage with the new. :)

I always liked this theme song. Seems to be the original opening just the actors are different. Hope the new show is successful, but I think for people that remember theoriginal series. It was on for years the original will be hard to replace..

@Glendale41 Compare what I did to the original opening and the remake (look to the right column at COlliderVideos and at the CBS version). As I plainly stated in the description, this is a REMIX of the old footage and the new footage with the classic theme song.
DS9Sisko 1 year ago
BRILLIANT Mix!!!! It really meshes both together very nicely! Although I like the Original music better and it would actually work for the new show, the background scenery should definitely be updated. Waikiki no longer looks the way it did when Jack Lord was around.

I wish CBS would use this. This reboot might actually work for me then. Good job.

EXCELLENT! CBS should use THIS, but I suppose they can't and won't; it's already taking up a potential 30-seconds of money making commercial time.
NICE JOB!
msk7046 1 year ago
@msk7046 What's another 30 seconds?
F--K YOU, TV exec's, for sacrificing good content(even theme music) on the altar of profit! You guys look and sound like a couple of sports team owners here in Buffalo who don't care about the product they put out as long as they fill their f--king pockets!

Is there a way you can send this version to the creators of the new show. Way better a litle bit of old school mix with the new school.
