The original Hawaii Five-O:

  • The Theme Song.
  • An official government package has been tampered with, causing an explosion that killed two people. McGarrett is questioning the courier, asking him whether he let somebody else handle the package, whether he took his eyes off the package at any time, whether he fell asleep on the helicopter ride between destinations. The courier held up his hand, and then spoke one of the most badass lines in television history:
  • Steve McGarrett is basically made of awesome.

The reimagined Hawaii Five-0:

  • McGarrett's method of interrogation? Leaving a man in a shark cage in the middle of the ocean without telling him the cage is for tourists and the sharks aren't man eaters.
  • McGarrett and Dann-o compare Mrs. Pacman scores.

McGarrett: You ever get to double pretzel level?
Dann-o: Triple Banana, bitch.

McGarrett: (In awe) You lie.

  • Dann-o is in a bar with McGarrett as part of their investigation for a kidnapped girl. They spot their victim - sorry - suspect, with another girl and Dann-o comments that if he were flirting with his daughter he'd knock out every single one of his teeth. When they see him slip something into the girl's drink, they move in, and Dann-o forces him to drink it!
    • Better still: back at the station, Steve wakes up their roofied suspect with an air horn.
  • The four members of 5-0 catch the split-up dope-juiced diamond robbers. They do it so AWESOME.
  • Having lost a suspect's car, McGarrett calls in a favour with an old acquaintance of his, a Navy intelligence officer. She provides the intel with a demand for some personal payment from him when she's in Hawaii on leave.

Chin-ho: You just had a top secret military spy satellite retasked and you got a date?
McGarrett: I multitask.

  • Any time Kono gets her hands on a criminal. Like that time with the trash can lids for example.
  • Danno refusing to put up with Rachel's shit in "Malama".

Danny: Stan does not get to make decisions regarding the safety of my daughter. So she can go to the Hilton with you or she can come on what is affectionately called a ride along with her father, okay?

    • Speaking as someone who knows how the law mistreats fathers, I was cheering for Danno.
  • The theme song yet again. When the network unveiled a new, techno'd-up version of the theme for the re-imagining, the backlash was insane. So what did they do? Not only did they make a new one extremely close to the original except more aggressive, they brought in a lot of the original band members. That's right, fan backlash was so great it caused a reunion for the guys who play the theme song. That's how iconic this music is.
