A very good show, with McGarrett trying to find who killed the boxer son of Phil Kalama (Frank de Kova), a cop from Maui. As McGarrett arrives near the beginning of the show after Joey is brutally beaten to death by some thugs, you can see the windshield wipers on McGarrett's car are on, even though it is not obviously raining. Later, when Danno comes up with some ideas on the case, McGarrett says: "You'll make a good cop one of these days, Danno." Interesting camera angles in this show, many looking up at the characters. Kalama refers to his son's girl friend Lois Walker (Jean Hale) as a "cheap little tramp" when she can't provide info about the killing, which she witnessed. Hale wears a visually stunning pink outfit at one point. McGarrett later tells her, "Nothing rocks me any more, honey." Kono's car really smokes when he blasts off in pursuit of a false alarm that Kalama calls in -- but this radio call is not logical. Why would Kalama's car have a radio in it? He is a visiting cop from Maui and it is not suggested that he is taking care of any police business while in Oahu which would require him to borrow a car from HPD.
