Cool Guns was disambiguated due to being Armed Chairs.


* CoolGuns:
** Not exactly fancy, but Steve has a tactical light attached to his handgun. [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tactical_flashlight It allows the marksman to simultaneously illuminate, blind, and aim the target.]]
** As the series progresses, the team begins to sport more guns, among which are a suppressed [=MP5K=], an [=MP5SD=], and a Novoske Rifleworks Diplomat (a.k.a. the gun Film/TheExpendables use).

* MermaidingSwimsuit: A late-season episode opens with an underwater shot of a hotel swimming pool in which about a dozen mermaids are synchronized swimming. The VictimOfTheWeek is an Avon representative {{Expy}} on a corporate "mermaiding" retreat with her colleagues. [[TomboyWithAGirlyStreak Tani]] admits to a childhood wish to be a mermaid, and at the end of the episode Junior treats her to a more budget-friendly version.

* HollywoodFire: The season eight premiere makes a big deal about the heroes having to act inside of a raging forest fire to catch their arsonist perp and [[ItMakesSenseInContext airlift a house to save themselves.]] Despite the fact that the characters do make lip service about the dangers of smoke inhalation to the point of the perp taunting them about it, of course all the flames are CGI for actor safety and Hawaiian property's sake; the characters are in close proximity to the flames and smack dab in the middle of the worst of the smoke, and only look dirtied and disheveled for it, otherwise being perfectly fine even after ''extensive'' exposure. This gets especially blatant with Steve flying a helicopter ''into the gigantic plumes of smoke'' and coming out virtually fine.

* AntiClimax: The winter finale of Season 7 ends on a very intense and gripping cliffhanger with Chin, but come the first episode into the new year, the cliffhanger is resolved ''less than five minutes into the the next episode''. Not only that, but the following episode delves into a one-off story almost completely detached from the previous one and featuring Grover. Basically, all it amounts to is the previous episode ran long and the excess got tacked onto the beginning of the next one, and in doing so, the ending wasn't SpoiledByTheFormat. The winter finale could've aired as a slightly over-length special, but then it would be difficult to rerun it without chopping it down to fit a general-purpose sixty-minute time slot.

Overprotective Dad has been disambiguated


* LifeSavingMisfortune: One episode has Danny chaperoning his daughter Grace's school dance and finds out she's been secretly dating Grover's son William. He pulls William into a bathroom and does the standard OverprotectiveDad[=/=]PapaWolf questioning, just before an armed group arrives and takes everyone in the dance hall hostage. Not being inside allows Danny to call the rest of Five-0 for backup and formulate a plan, and William to provide background information about his classmates to determine why a school dance would be a target.

* WasItAllALie: In one episode, a computer hacker's girlfriend reveals to him that she's a murderous Russian agent planning to sell a stolen NSA file on the black market, and holding him prisoner to force him to decrypt it. The hacker questions if there was any truth to their relationship.
-->'''Hacker''': Was any of it real?\\
'''Russian''': Well, [[FakeOrgasm definitely not the orgasms]].

What An Idiot potholes removed


* DoNotTauntCthulhu: In "Powa Maka Moana", a [[AddedAlliterativeAppeal bitchy stolen goods buyer barricades himself behind bulletproof bars]]. Steve gives him five seconds to come out peacefully and talk about the case. [[WhatAnIdiot Danny literally begs that guy to yield, but he still refuses]]. Steve then opens the bars -- with a ''hand grenade.''

* ArtisticLicenseLaw:
** In "A ia la aku" (the first episode filmed in Hong Kong), the sedan Kono and Adam rode in has mainland Chinese plates, when it's stipulated by Hong Kong laws that mainland-based vehicles should have Hong Kong plates affixed at the front and back in order to be admitted into Hong Kong territory. Also in "Kupuʻeu", the sedan Kono and Adam use is [=LHD=], despite having the correct Hong Kong license plates on.
** In "Hana Komo Pae", it's mentioned that the Philippines has the death penalty, which is incorrect. [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capital_punishment_in_the_Philippines It's not been used after 2006]], but it could change since Duterte wants the death penalty be brought back as part of his campaign platform after he got elected in the 2016 elections.
* ArtisticLicenseLawEnforcement:
** A few things in "Ua Hopu".
*** For instance, Interpol having a worldwide tactical team in Osaka, Japan. Which doesn't work since Interpol is a collection of police agencies working together by sharing intelligence. Although Interpol does have a tactical team responsible for protecting Interpol facilities in France.
*** Same thing with the uniforms of Japanese police officers. Although the basics are correct (e.g. vest, cap, shirt), the shoulder patches and the kanji for the vests are incorrect. In the episode, the kanji is portrayed as "特別警察官", which means "Special police officer" in Japanese. Although it's correct, all Japanese police officers have vests with the kanji "警察庁;", which means "National Police Agency". And don't get started on the Osaka Police crime scene investigators.

* {{Yakuza}}: A central antagonistic threat throughout the show, and where Adam Noshimuri comes from. They're also powerful enough to manipulate the police and politics on the island, and will pick fights with whoever gets on their bad side even if they try to avoid open confrontation. The wars with Mexican cartels and the Chinese Triad also keep them on the backfoot.

* MadeOfIron: If two characters get into a fistfight and one of them isn't highly inexperienced for the sake of dropping within seconds, you can expect both a hero and antagonist to straight up trash ''everything'' around them while never going down until someone gets the likely-fatal finisher. And if they're a BigBad of an arc, even ''that'' is probably not enough to keep them down.
