@Joseph Heath(open): Without the equally-good writing behind it, it would've floundered... although I read that sometimes they improvised a few lines here and there to still obtain the desired effect.
Such detailed sophistication! The physical and personality contrast bw McGarrett n Wo Fat. Yet, equals in gamesmanship as they manuever around the proverbial chess board of the high stakes criminal arena - brilliant!
@@chichedare Great acting. You dont see stuff like this on TV today. Jack Lord was a very good actor. The show had some quality episodes. But he finally got Wo Fat
@@johndrake2729 tsk.tsk..I said tv not movies..here's some trivia for u...name the first restaurant in honolulu.. answer..wo.fat..in business from 1906 to 2005. the inspiration for this character came from the restaurant.
"May I begin my journey now Mr. Kaye? I believe my continued presence would only cause Mr. McGarret even greater anguish than he already feels." Classic Wo Fat!
Obviously Mr. Kaye is being blackmailed by Wo Fat. Which I believe was happening on the reboot with Wo Fat and Governor Pat Jameson, but the writers never delved into that. In Mr. Kaye's case, maybe Wo Fat threatened to tell interested parties that Kaye was a communist. As for Pat Jameson, maybe Wo Fat knew a secret from her past, such as a teenage pregnancy? Not something anyone in a position of power would want revealed.
Great finish, a rare moment where McGarrett is out-maneuvered. Wo Fat is a classic nemesis, all iconic heroes need one (Blofeld, Moriarty, etc.). Jack Lord was a great actor. In the 1970s, he was one of the biggest stars around.
Truly was the BEST Show on television. I really loved Hawaii Five-0 and Jack Lord was the BEST on television. God Bless, Jack Lord with my deepest respect and admiration.
Wo Fat was arguably the greatest villain in TV history, and it was because, and in contrast to traditional Hollywood, he always won in the end even though he was the bad guy.
I love this scene. The characters and the music, all outstanding! Khigh Dhiegh was one of the best villains on television. You just knew he would get away some how.
Love how McGarrett waited until he was alone to lose his cool. Classic ending and anyone would have reacted the same way. One of the best of the Wo Fat episodes, aside from 'Nine Dragons'..
That is what made the character of McGarrett stand alone with his ability to be cool under most every situation. Thus everyone remembers this episode and it's dramatic ending when he loses it at the very end.
The remake is pretty good except there are too many unbelievable things in the chase and combat scenes. Sometimes it resembles a Marvel movie. (But Kono was very attractive)!
I can watch the original Hawaii 5-0 over and over but I couldn't even finish the 1st season with the remake. It's hard to explain but the chill feeling was just completely different.
The episodes with Wo Fat were all masterfully convoluted plots, playing out the same as a classic spy drama!! Professional acting at it's finest, from Khigh Deigh and Jack Lord contributed to the unparrelled success of the original Hawaii-5-0!!! Thanks for posting this very epic clip from the series!
“Then I should be grateful for the abolition of capital punishment.” Khigh Dhiegh stole every show he was in! Don’t miss his all-too-brief turn in the 1962 version of The Manchurian Candidate.
@@johnclark4593 I looked up Time Limit. Early roles for Martin Balsam and Rip Torn; only movie directed by Karl Malden. I’m looking forward to watching it!
Alex O'Loughlin seems like a nice guy but the reboot McGarret is excruciatingly cringe. The way his character is written, he's a cliche meathead jock badass lol. I like his banter with Danny but that one episode where McGarret filled in to fight that MMA fight against Chuck Lidell was just too much
@@billblaski9523 Jack Lord as McGarrett was cool and tough. Alex O'Loughlin seemed to project more vulnerability. You wouldn't have been surprised if Alex's McGarrett cried, but you would have if Jack Lord's had. Men of that generation didn't cry. Not in public anyway.
@@sharonjensen3016 Jack Lord 's McGarrett cried for the death of his baby nephew in the first season and I heard he did one time again when Chin Ho died in the 1977-1978 season, I think.
Andrew Duggan's wife of 35years Elizabeth Logue was such a perfect beauty. They both lived happily ever after, two beautiful people living beautiful, faithful, scandalfree, adulteryfree lives as beautiful as themselves and she survived him by just one month. RIP unforgettable Hawaii 5-0 opening credits beauty.
After all of these years, I still remember the 3 parter, "V for Vashon". Or maybe I should say how I anxiously waited for each episode. Now I want to go watch them again.
This is the 'one bad hair' day that McGarrett ever had. I kinda felt sorry for him when he was sooooo close to getting WoFat charged. Then it just collapsed before his eyes...so close yet so far away.
That must've been the closest capture of Wo Fat had not the deal exchange with Hong Kong bailed him out. Felt bad for McGarrett that he had the perfect plan and caught Wo Fat. Thankfully by the last season when the show wasn't going to be renewed, they did give closure for McGarrett to finally catch Wo Fat.
As one who's seen every episode I have to say that last episode was an all time stinker. McGarrett as "Professor Raintree" lol. And Wo Fat had a file at the end!
What a tremendous scene ..Wo Fat even though a brutal killer had impeccable manners n respect n McGarret always was great n this ending was spectacular where he throws the object in rage with no one there ..
Sorry Steve, not this time. It wouldn't be until 1980 that he finally got him. The years 1968 to 1974 or maybe 1975 were the best years of the show. In real life hostile foreign governments have used hostages and political prisoners to get something in exchange for many years and still do. This is indeed a very realistic scene.
Wow, what a scene. So that was the original Wo Fat. All great shows need a great villian. First time I have seen McGarrett lose his temper. Brilliant dramatic ending. I am currently looking at the reboot, (on season 8 now), which I am appreciating more and more with who and what they had to follow in the footsteps of. I personally love the reboot. The reboot Wo Fat was extremely menacing. Hats off and massive respect to these guys though. They were there first.
I don't blame McGarrett for getting mad at Johnathan Kay McGarrett trying to get Wo Fat for the heinous misdeeds including murder The best episode of classic Hawaii Five-0
Not just powerful, but still timely and real even after 50 years. We still have U2s flying over mainland China added to how many “Wo Fats” are operating in the U.S. or any other western country right now.
Joe Sirola(Jonathan Kaye in this clip) is also recognizable by his voiceovers in many a TV commercial... Mita Copiers, Vicks NyQuil/DayQuil, Wendy's value menus, Mobil gasoline, Hertz, Players Club, and so many others.
Almost every time Jack Lord appeared in any movie or TV episode, he always got into a habit of losing his temper like what he just did in that closing scene. 😂
I think the last camera angle, choosing to not showLord's face, but just his profile and tense posture, made it even more dramatic when he lost it at the very end
I know ....the first time watching it ...after the bureaucrat left the room and telling him a hostage is coming home in trade...I'm thinking "oh he's pissed and he's still pissed" and sure enough i was right.
McGarrett: "You sold me out!" Kay: "OK Steve. You're entitled. There was a U2 incident 3 years ago. The pilot was captured and has been held in China, incommunicado". McGarrett: "Bullshit Jonathan. There IS no city OR town in China called Communicado".
Damn,,this guy is good! Kheigh Dheigh's "Wo Fat" has been a great part of the original "HAWAII FIVE-O" series from beginning to end,and in this episode,"The Jinn Who Clears The Way",we get a good look at how "Wo Fat" once again evades "McGarrett" with such style and cunningness-an outstanding example of the original show's superior quality,that the 2010-present series seriously lacks! no offense Marc Decoscus,Al's son,,but you're no match for Kheigh Dheigh's Wo Fat,,no way!!
Oh,and the actor who played "Jonathan Kane" in this episode,is Joseph Sirola,,who also played in Leonard Freeman's CBS Movie of the week,"CRY RAPE" in 1973,but is also remembered for his role,as one of the vigilantes,who lynched "Jedidiah Cooper" (Clint Eastwood) in another Leonard Freeman production,"HANG EM' HIGH!" that United Artists released in 1968. although viewers don't remember this actor,he was also the uncredited voice of "Dr Doom" in ABC's "THE FANTASTIC FOUR" cartoon series,that Hanna-Barbera made in 1967. he also guest starred in episodes of "THE A-TEAM" and "THE GREEN HORNET",,a very good actor!
Don't forget, Joseph Sirola's biggest claim to fame was the star of The Montefuscos, a TV show so tasteless that it is ranked as one of the worst shows ever.
When Wo Fat finally WAS deported, instead of being acclaimed as a hero, he was kangaroo-tried as an enemy of the Chinese state and publicly tortured to his own death. Wo Fat's name is still execrated, as that of a traitor, throughout all Chinese Beijing even to this day.
Season Five has to be the best out of all of them.
The acting in this scene is still powerful after many years.
@Joseph Heath(open): Without the equally-good writing behind it, it would've floundered... although I read that sometimes they improvised a few lines here and there to still obtain the desired effect.
@@StukInBuf They must have improvised, because that scene was charged with all sorts of emoticons and great acting discipline!
Very powerfully acted scene. And once again Wo Fat slips away. You can feel Steve's rage

@@saywhat6704 Interesting.
Yep
Jack Lord was probably in his early 50s here ...he looked fantastic..I don't believe anyone else would have played this part nearly as well
"May I begin my journey now Mr. Kaye? I believe my continued presence would only cause Mr. McGarret even greater anguish than he already feels." Classic Wo Fat!
Obviously Mr. Kaye is being blackmailed by Wo Fat. Which I believe was happening on the reboot with Wo Fat and Governor Pat Jameson, but the writers never delved into that.

Wo Fat Busts a move.
Wo Fat's words in translation. Mr Kaye, Let me get out of Dodge before Marshall Dillon starts shooting.
Khigh Dhiegh was a brilliant but sadly unrecognized amazing actor.
Well, I recognized him straightaway 😂
See him in “The Manchurian Candidate.” John Frankenheimer’s meisterwerk.

I was in ❤ with Jack Lord 😎 🍷
LOL
He also had a nice clear voice throughout his entire acting career.
Can't blame McGarrett for being angry. WoFat always got away with his crimes. Loved the show.
That's not angry. That is PISSED!
He Jack Lord suggests Wo Fat not be captured in their first meeting.
Truly was the BEST Show on television. I really loved Hawaii Five-0 and Jack Lord was the BEST on television. God Bless, Jack Lord with my deepest respect and admiration.
I always liked how dramatic music ended scenes in Five-0.
Was always one of the best part of the show for me, and the same orchestration for the bumpers during the commercial breaks.
Yes indeed, this was a shining example.
you can not beat the orirgial series and the best
que hombre tan baronil . esta serie me justaba mucho❤lastima que ya no este..
Wo Fat was arguably the greatest villain in TV history, and it was because, and in contrast to traditional Hollywood, he always won in the end even though he was the bad guy.
What about Dr Lovelace, or Dr Moriarty, yes I think woh Fat was a great adversary.
King of Diplomatic Immunity;😀
1 Newman.
he won so he could be brought back for later episodes 😁...im sure they writers were thinking ok how can he lose but then win 😂
@@helisoma I wonder did McGarrett ever get him?
I've been binge watching this series on Paramount +. What a great series, perhaps my favorite of all time. The writing and acting are superb.
This is why I like the original Hawaii Five 0 the best, Wo Fat was the perfect foil for McGarret. Kneigh Deigh played the bad guy perfectly.
I love this scene. The characters and the music, all outstanding! Khigh Dhiegh was one of the best villains on television. You just knew he would get away some how.
The funny thing about Wo Fat. He wasn't Asian. He was Egyptian Sudanese
@@roquefortfileshe's American born Kenneth Dickerson in Spring Lake, New Jersey with Anglo-Egyptian Sudanese ancestor.
I often wonder if Knigh Dhiegh was intended as a play on Kai Dai. Which means younger gay lover; gigolo; bastard in Cantonese. @@อัครัตน์จารุมณี

So much better than the remake. Jack Lord is still as gripping to watch 40 years on.
Most definitely. Not even close.
The remake is pretty good except there are too many unbelievable things in the chase and combat scenes. Sometimes it resembles a Marvel movie. (But Kono was very attractive)!
Absolutely 👍
I liked the remake but the original is still the best.

I often wondered if they had different writers for his episodes or if they just naturally came to them. He is the best.
That's why this show was totally cool. Discussing classified U2 flights over China, on network television in 1973? This show was always cutting edge.
“Then I should be grateful for the abolition of capital punishment.” Khigh Dhiegh stole every show he was in! Don’t miss his all-too-brief turn in the 1962 version of The Manchurian Candidate.

or the 80's and 90's with gems like Hill Street Blues, St. Elsewhere, Walker Texas Ranger, In The Heat of The Night, Homicide: Life on The Street etc.
So sad n true
That goes without saying.
That’s a fact!
Those two did have great chemistry working together.

With his deep philosophy , way of speaking, I think wo fat ( Khigt Dhight) was the most respectable villain ever
The scenery, story-lines, the acting, even the attire. I just absolutely loved this show...........
Thanks for posting! great ending great Morton Stevens music
Always loved the way he wrote for the lower register instruments of the brass section.
You can really hear those tubas and bass trombones.

Happy 100th birthday December 30, 2020 to Jack Lord
And McGarrett is having a very bad day with all that!
I don't blame you Steve
A matter of Grave Mutual concern, another good one. They call me Chief !

Anyone remember the episode with Hume Cronyn "Man of 1,000 Diguises?
"Over Fifty? Steal" aired in Nov, 1970. A second one "Odd Man In" aired a year later.

He was also on one episode of Kolchak the Nighstalker.
One of the best scenes in one of the best shows around. I watch it in reruns and bought some VHS tapes years ago.
Khigh Dhiegh (Wo Fat) played one of the best villains roles to appear on T.V.
last of the Great Paperhangers, another good episode !
I think that Khigh Dhiegh was a perfect bad guy as Wo Fat. Mark Dacascos did pretty well also playing him in the newer episodes of Hawaii Five 0.
Wo-Fat Busts a move on MacGarrett !!!
Wufat was played with classic presentation . No one could of played the role better.
Of course M Garret was the best .the entire cast etc
Wo Fat was the best bad guy ever.
You cant beat these originals
We will trade Wofat for a Hero anytime.
@max(open): A sad reality, but one to endure nonetheless.
Almost every time Jack Lord appeared in any movie or TV episode, he always got into a habit of losing his temper like what he just did in that closing scene. 😂
That wasn’t a habit, that was what the script called for.
@spankynater4242 Well when he directed Hawaii Five-O starting in 1975, he lost his temper when actors and co-producers mistakenly followed his orders.
I think the last camera angle, choosing to not showLord's face, but just his profile and tense posture, made it even more dramatic when he lost it at the very end
I know ....the first time watching it ...after the bureaucrat left the room and telling him a hostage is coming home in trade...I'm thinking "oh he's pissed and he's still pissed" and sure enough i was right.
McGarrett: "You sold me out!"
Kay: "OK Steve. You're entitled. There was a U2 incident 3 years ago. The pilot was captured and has been held in China, incommunicado".
McGarrett: "Bullshit Jonathan. There IS no city OR town in China called Communicado".
He is so handsome god. He should have been more popular
and a tough character!
I loved the episodes with Wo Fat
Acting, directing and script all superb
Steve McGarrett was such a bad ass. I’m going to just forget about the whining he did here, it never happened.
Still watch the 5 episodes of Hawaii Five O every Friday on the H&I channel
Superbly acted
What is truly impressive is how well dressed these three gentlemen are with three piece suits and ties. Real gentlemen.
That was the default attire in those days.
awesome scene!! diplomatic immunity is a must in life......
love jack lord get him !
I remember seeing every single episode of the original version of "Hawaii 5 0" with Jack Lord and James MacArthur played their roles as Steve McGarrett and Daniel Williams when I was much younger and boy did I enjoy watching it very much.
Please think positive daily. ©®

Don't go for that gun, Reno!
When you HANG a man...you better look at him...
His(Sirola) voice sounds like he's done ads for Mobil... namely the detergent gasoline.
Yeah, well, at least learn how to spell it then, if you revere him so much.
When Wo Fat finally WAS deported, instead of being acclaimed as a hero, he was kangaroo-tried as an enemy of the Chinese state and publicly tortured to his own death.
Wo Fat's name is still execrated, as that of a traitor, throughout all Chinese Beijing even to this day.
I wasn't aware of that. But as for the restaurant that bears his name I'm pretty sure that's still around today.
Wo Fat was my fav character and through the mists of time I've never actually met anyone who remembered him.
It began and ended with wofat yet at the end he was gonna escape again
I'm from missouri there was a restaurant in Springfield called Wu fats its always reminded me of that guy on 5_0
Was the food good?
