Trivia

 * When the first grave is opened, a Marine officer remarks the ribbons are those of the Korean War- this has several plot holes-the grave is of a World War II casualty (1941–1945), the Korean War was 1950-1953!


 * In another plot hole, when the remains of Ed Crowe are found in Parnell's footlocker, it is stretching artistic license to think that a footlocker would be forgotten in a government warehouse for 34 years.


 * The headstone that Parnell switched (and under which Five-0 finds the fossils) is printed backwardS on the film!
 * Parnell claims that if he isn't given money and a pardon that he'll cremate the fossils in California. However, plot Holes are # 1 } How can he do this when they are buried in Hawaii 2) Fossils are stone!


 * The real Peking Man fossils disappeared in 1941, in China
