@baraxor Yes! I loved that show as a kid. Remember the “fake Tsunami” episode?
A bunch of brainiacs try to pull off a robbery while the islands are on alert.
This is the opening title sequence to the pilot episode film – later recut into the two-part episode ‘Cocoon’.
My parents loved Hawaii Five-0. My dad is really looking forward to the new one coming to CBS this fall. As a child this show didn’t interest me, but I believe I’ll like this.
ES EL OPENING DEL PILOTO DE 1966 Ó 1968, APARECEN LESLIE NILSEN Y LA MUY BELLA NANCY KWAN
You’re right! This is the theme from the Pilot episode.
iim pretty sure thats not ..”the original”
@ToddInLN52254 – Bewitched was sponsored by Chevrolet, not Ford.
In fact, Chevrolet was such a huge sponsor that the animated intro was altered to reflect their sponsorship (you can see that right here on YouTube).
The other big Bewitched sponsor (they alternated every other week) was Quaker Oats.
@OldsVistaCruiser He also appeared in a 1974 episode named “We Hang Our Own.”
@prestonlewis Indeed it was the “Cocoon” pilot.
@Breeslave No hay ninguna comparisión entre los dos… el señor Lord fue lo más hermoso.
quen es mas macho Lloyd Bridges ou Jack Lord?
hawaii dont look nothing like that no more
Looks like the Cocoon pilot, not the usual opening credits.
@raposofan “Hawaii Five-O”—Brought to you by: Budweiser, the King of Beers. When you say Bud, you said it all.
@rugbynimbus Things work out as they do for a reason. Who knows how much mileage “Five-O” would’ve had with someone other than Jack Lord as McGarrett?
@baraxor Sad to say, the Mercury brand will soon be passé… like the Oldsmobile and Plymouth brands.
I love how they displayed Wo Fat’s name over the fire as if the character represented an evil, sinister criminal.
Book em Dano! Facebookery One.
@sacker12: This is the pilot version. Note that James MacArthur (Danny “Book ‘em Danno” Williams) is not credited, as he joined the cast beginning with the first regular episode. This is a rarity, as I’m sure CBS plastered the better-known opening over the pilot for syndication. I’d like to see CBS upload a high quality version of the version that aired for some twelve-odd years.
Is Jack Lord running that way so as not to get creases in his suit? LOL
I love this memorable and fantastic Hawaii Five-O tune. I am so excited and looking forward to watch the new, cool and innovative H5O with a fantastic young cast in September 2010 on CBS.
Thus spake the Hawaiian Lord. “Book em Danno murder one!”
huge fan hope they dont fuck up the show, i already hate the new opening sequence of the new one they fucked up the song .thats a no no. thats sacriligeous. like taking a rap sample.
@bearclause Whoever was in charge of re-editing for the series did a great job and had a very musical eye. The rhythm of the editing is great, fast and dramatic. That sequence looks modern and powerful. That’s the one I’m used to (remember the fantastic Jack Lord zoom shot?).
The 2010 opening from the new show is “ok”. Doesn’t have the terrific brass that the original had.
