Standard Screen; Soundtrack English One of TV's longest-running crime dramas (only LAW & ORDER would surpass its record-setting 12-year run), the 1970s television series HAWAII FIVE-O captivated audiences with its smart and stylish take on the standard policier formula. Filmed entirely on the Hawaiian archipelago, the action-packed series followed the crime-fighting adventures of an elite state-police squad anchored by quintessential tough guy Steve McGarrett (Jack Lord) and his detective team of Danny "Danno" Williams (James MacArthur), Chin Ho Kelly (Kam Fong), and Kono Kalakaua (Zulu). Almost singlehandedly rewriting the book on police dramas, the series distinguished itself with intricate plotting, inventive cinematography, exotically beautiful locations, and, of course, an indelible theme song and timeless catchphrase ("book 'em, Danno!"). This collection resurrects the iconic series with all 24 episodes of its 1968 debut season, which featured guest stars like FANTASY ISLAND's Ricardo Montalban, THE LOVE BOAT's Gavin Macleod, and AIRPLANE's Leslie Nielsen.

Hawaii Five-O - The Complete First Season Movie Review Average Rating: (5 out of 5 stars)  AWESOME!!!
I am, to say the very least, delighted with his first season set and am looking forward to the remaining volumes.
The best surprise on the first volume set was the inclusion of the 2-hour pilot "Cocoon".

Hawaii Five-O is even better than I remembered! I had forgotten just how good a show it was and still is. Jack Lord's strong portrayal of Steve McGarrett--and the equally impressive jobs done by the others on the show--make me want to buy all 12 seasons as they become available on DVD. I LOVE the music and all the scenes of Hawaii (both rural and urban), plus it's really fun to see all the various character actors (e.g. John Larch, Ricardo Montalban, Ellen Corby and so many others) that I have come to know by name and really respect their work. Great writing, direction, camera work, etc. Great show; I recommend it!!!

Well worth the investment if you're a fan of this series. This DVD set embodies excellent production and packaging. Can't wait for "V for Vashon".
There is one thing I could never figure out however. They have "Kam Fong" as "Chin Ho" and "Zulu" as "Kono". What's the point in giving their characters different names?

Using ambient sounds, white-outs, and dizzyingly abstract photography, WHO KILLED BAMBI? instills fear into its viewers with its disorienting atmospheres. Before any perturbing action takes place, there is an air of something essentially wrong, and that unexplainable feeling is downright creepy. Isabelle (Sophie Quinton), a rosy-cheeked nursing student, stares out into the fluorescent hallways of the hospital where she works with the wide-eyed innocence of a deer caught in the headlights. Appropriately, when she suddenly faints at the feet of the tall, dark, and handsome surgeon Dr. Philippe (Laurent Lucas), he nicknames her Bambi, saying she cannot stand on her own ...
