Goof (revealing mistake): When McGarrett is being followed by the same sedan, he calls for a HPD ambush on the police radio, but he never takes his thumb off the talk button, even when dispatch is replying. Since radios are one way devices, it is necessary to release the talk button in order to hear the other party.

Goof (factual errors): The screenwriter seems to have confused the Bushido (samurai) with the ninja (ninjitsu). The Samurai were not a secret society.
Goof (revealing mistake): The close-up of Thad's gun when Ann picks it up from the floor shows it to be a short barrel S&W .38 with blue finish, the exact type carried by Five-0. When the gun is found by Five-0 and identified as the one wielded by Thad, it is a .32 with bright finish.
