i would have to say that the pilot for hawaii five 0 be really and really cool . i just saw it again tonight and though i remember see it a couple time when i be a kid and even back then i be amaze at steve mcgarrett awesomeness . the problem with it and though and be that again and again and you really need to suspend your sense of disbelief because so much of the story really be super human and impossible to accept . unlike episode of the tv show where steve mcgarrett be mostly passive and a man oversee his minion and in this pilot he be the plot . many time in the episode he could have delegate but instead be almost like a james bond type character merge with the chief of a special state police unit . in one scene and he dress up like a dock worker and swing a mighty sledgehammer and in another he on the beach investigate a murder and in another he fight the great communist agent on earth . i actually like this even though reality be damn . so let talk about the plot and what make steve super duper awesome . the show begin with a cia agent be torture in a sensory deprivation tank by the evil wo fat . wo fat be one cool evil villain ( with khigh dhiegh play pretty much the same character he play in the manchurian candidate and 1962 ) . while this be a great villain and have him face off again and again with a state police chief be a bit odd . through a long series of event and that exactly what occur late in the pilot it steve versus wo fat and steve proving he be one amazing adversary . steve not only set the record for long time in the tank without crack and but even after this horrible ordeal he have the energy to kick butt . and and to make it even more amazing and he get to romance sexy nancy kwan though in one odd scene and he on the beach with her at night neck . and he wear his usual black suit and necktie . so and he get the hot girl and withstand torture and be able to defeat chinese communism all by himself . now while the plot really be quite unlike the show ( in which steve be not the next james bond and but he be still pretty cool in the show ) and the basic idea and structure be there . the main character of chin ho and kono and danny and the governor be all there though danny and the governor be play by entirely different actor . of course the big difference here be that these guy all be more like accessory in the pilot it almost like mcgarrett can do everything himself . the show be much more of a team effort . in other word and the show be usually more like a typical cop show and the pilot be an espionage thriller . and and a an espionage thriller and it amazingly watchable and fill with suspense .
