1* In "Palekaiko", Danno refers to a private investigator being interrogated as [[Series/MagnumPI "Magnum"]].
2* In the pilot episode of the rebooted series, [=McGarrett=] searches his father's home for clues to his murder; entering the garage, we see a car that his father was working on up on blocks; a black 1968 Ford Mercury Park Lane, the same car driven by the Creator/JackLord's [=McGarrett=] in the original series.
3* In "He Kane Hewa' Ole", Steve and Danno spend much of the episode arguing over which of them is more like Erik Estrada. In the last scene, they're watching reruns of ''Series/CHiPs'' with Kono and Chin Ho.
4* In "Powa Maka Moana", [=McGarrett=] tells Danno that [[Franchise/{{Terminator}} he'll be back.]] Danno asks if he'll smash their car into the pawn shop just to get Lono to talk.
5* In "Loa Aloha", Danny calls a charter service to get information on a fugitive's travel plans and, not wanting to identify himself as a cop, gives his name as "[[Music/BruceSpringsteen Clarence Clemons]]."
6* In "Ua Hiki Mai Kapalena Pau", Gracie is seen explaining ''VideoGame/AngryBirds'' to Danno.
7* In "Kame'e", Music/TheBeatles get a mention:
8-->'''Danno:''' So, what, you're not going to tell me about "Operation Strawberry Fields"?\
9'''[=McGarrett=]:''' No.\
10'''Danno:''' No, no. Of course, you'd have to kill me.... I'm just curious, though: Was there an "Operation Abbey Road"? Were you the walrus? (''Joe White gives him a disapproving look'') Time to shut up?\
11'''Joe White:''' Roger that. Are you people ready for the magical mystery tour?
12* "Ka Iwi Kapu":
13** Max delivers a [[Series/CSIMiami Horatio Caine]] [[QuipToBlack one-liner]], complete with sunglasses.
14** The episode's ColdOpening is a deliberate imitation of ''Film/TheBlairWitchProject''.
15* The shoot-out in "La O Na Makuahine" between Five-0 and Delano's crew is similar to ''Film/{{Heat}}'', except that Five-0 gets their man.
16* [=McGarrett=] calls Danny [[WesternAnimation/YogiBear Boo-Boo]] in "La O Na Makuahine".
17* In "Lana I Ka Moana", Danny and [=McGarrett=] are adrift in a boat in shark-infested waters. Danny [[DeadpanSnarker complains]], "Have you ever seen '[[Creator/DiscoveryChannel Shark Week]]?' I don't wanna be on 'Shark Week!'"
18* In "Ua Hopu", Adam Noshimuri telling [[spoiler:his girlfriend, Kono]] that he will be getting the Noshimuri family out of the Yakuza is very similar to [[Film/TheGodfather Michael Corleone]] saying "In five years, the Corleone family will be completely legitimate."
19* There's mention of James Bond near the end of "Kapu" when Steve shows up in a tuxedo. Don't forget the music that accompanied his appearance too, since it matches up the 007 opening theme song.
20* In "Hoa Pili", ''Series/MagnumPI'' is given a nod via Kamekoa's new helicopter tour business, complete with a cover of the iconic theme song.
21** Also in "Kahu," [[http://www.cbs.com/recommended/photos/1003798/33-great-easter-eggs-you-may-have-missed/79091/magnum-pi-throwback-hawaii-five-0/ T.C.'s Hughes 500D Helicoptor]] can be briefly seen in the background.
22* "Hoku Welowelo" has a Batman reference when Grover snarks about giving him the "Five-0 Grover" signal. Steve and Danno complain that they don't need it and they don't wanna see him in tights.
23* "Kuka'awale" has Jacob Anders / Radomir Ivanovich kit up in the same way as Salem, Rios and any of the heavily armed enemies of ''VideoGame/ArmyOfTwo'', complete with bulletproof face mask.
24* Music/JimmyBuffett's recurring character of Frank Bama from the episodes "Ki'ilua," "Olelo Pa'a" and "Pono Kaulike," who is -the first-person narrator of his 1992 novel ''Where Is Joe Merchant?''
25* "No Ke Ali'i' Wahine A Me Ka Aina" is full of James Bond references once again, ranging from Langford's weapon of choice (A P99 from the Brosnan era) to being called Commander as part of his official name.
26* "Poniu I Ke Aloha" has a recreation of the volleyball scene from ''Film/TopGun'' right down to "Playing with the Boys" by Music/KennyLoggins serving as the soundtrack.
27* "Mai ka po mai ka 'oia'i'o" has the mentions of Batman and Superman. Jerry and Adam briefly talk about Ultraman.
