* FollowTheLeader: ''Series/HawaiiFiveO'' was popular at the time. Zulu actually appeared in that show for its first three years; he appeared on ''Diamond Head'' due to a pay dispute with ''Hawaii Five-O'', and the new show proved the perfect opportunity to exert ''some'' clout, since as a character actor, Zulu's range was limited. They also had other ''Hawaii Five-O'' guest stars -- Harry Endo (Dr. En-Ping) played the recurring character of Che Fong; Don Knight (H.K. Muldoon), Eric Braeden (Ernest Graeber), and France Nuyen (Tso-Tsing) made several guest appearances; and Morton Stevens composed the theme and score for this pilot as well.
