This episode starts out with a man suspended in a pool wearing a bizarre looking suit. The suit makes him look otherworldly, really. It was kind of scary when they took the mask off him. Some of the highlights are Khigh Dhiegh playing the evil Wo Fat. He basically reprises his role of Dr. Yen Lo from The Manchurian Candidate (1962).
Some other interesting aspects of the pilot are when McGarret assaults one "intelligence officer" and threatens another. Moreover, McGarret makes out with a hippie Hawaiin college girl on the beach!
The pilot also has a James Bond feel to it with a spy story and McGarret as the "super agent" and Khigh Dhiegh as the super villain. There is also some interesting camera work including utilizing a mirror to create a fish eye lens effect.
