It's recently struck how relatively dull Herman Wedemyer's picture is, compared his two predecessors'. Zulu is storming a gangplank with a rifle, Al Harrington is leaving over a fence and caught mid-run, but what is Deke doing? Pulling down a pair of binoculars and talking on a walkie-talkie.
I always liked "Hawaii Five-O" because it was the only "cop" show with a recuring enemy ("Wo-Fat") and every other week our heroes were fighting to prevent the spread of some plague! ("the-disease-of-the-week")
I saw this series when I was young and I always went to Makcik Sumi house to see this popular series cause my parents can't effort to buy a television in the 70's era.
I heard somewhere recently that when the camera pans in the seashore to the high-rise hotel, apartment, whatever, that guy standing there is not jJack Lord, it was a stand in or some footage from another tv show they borrowed, then had Jack turn around.
If you watched each and every season of Five-O thoroughly, then you'll notice that the theme tune arrangement DID changed quite a lot. It changed in 1969, 1971, 1972, 1974, 1975, 1976, 1977, 1978, and 1979. The theme tune arrangement from the original broadcast of the pilot was slightly longer and different as well. So there were a total of 10 different theme tune variations of the Five-O theme song.
My mother almost gave birth to my younger sister at home, because she went into labor as this was coming on, and she refused to go to the hospital until the ep went off.
I was humming this 70's tune to myself at work...and my coworker was like..."what the hell is that" ...so I had to search and find this so he'd know I wasn't completely crazy. Just Half.
@esto223 Star Trek, What's Happening, Gilligan's Island, Quincy, I Dream of Jeanie... H50 theme is fine, but there are better, more inventive, and more memorable themes, dude.
Whatever happened to Kam Fong and Zulu? We watched it here in Australia. I remember watching it as a kid too. Great intro, ahead of its time. Who did the filming?
