Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. What is "Hawaii 5-0"?

Answer: A Hawaii state special police unit

5-0 is the state special police unit, which reported directly to the governor of Hawaii.

2. Steve McGarrett was the leader of the unit. Which actor portrayed him?

Answer: Jack Lord

3. Which of the following was not a detective in the 5-0 squad during the first season?

Answer: Duke Lukela

McGarrett, Williams, Chin Ho and Kono were the original detectives in the squad. Duke Lukela was an HPD uniformed officer who worked with the team. He was later promoted to detective on the team.

4. HPD was the police department that worked closely with 5-0. HPD stood for the Hilo Police Department.

Answer: False

HPD stood for the Honolulu Police Department, which is where 5-0 headquarters was located.

5. What was McGarrett's catch phrase?

Answer: "Book'em Dano"

6. 5-0 had a number of run-ins with this recurring villain, who has been described as Steve McGarrett's nemesis. What was his name?

Answer: Wo Fat

Wo Fat, an agent of the Chinese government, was the man who got under McGarrett's skin. Honore Vachon was a member of the Vachon Crime Family, who hired a hit man to have Steve killed, but was of course busted. Chin Ho was one of the 5-0 detectives. Hondo Harrelson was the commander of the team in "S.W.A.T", another great ?70s cop show.

7. Who was the forensic lab person that 5-0 dealt with?

Answer: Che Fong

Harry Endo portrayed the brilliant Che Fong, who became a semi regular character on the show. Che Guevara was a revolutionary who fought with Castro. Chet Atkins is one of the world's best guitar player, and Dr. Noguchi was the coroner of Los Angeles in the 60's and 70's.

8. One of the main detectives on the team was murdered. Who was it?

Answer: Chin Ho

I still remember being shocked when Chin Ho's body was pushed out of the moving car. Kono was merely written out of the series, Danno quit due to ego and contract problems, and William Smith portrayed Kimo during the last season.

9. Which of the following actors never appeared on Hawaii 5-0?

Answer: Martin Milner

Martin Milner played Officer Malloy on "Adam-12", another darn fine cop show of the era.

10. Who played the Governor?

Answer: Richard Denning

He assumed the role early in the series, and carried it till the end.
