Gutsycurene Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.
SeeQuant Blending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction
Claire Dunne One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.
Mehdi Hoffman There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.
Dana They're showing this on Get TV now. Just caught the first episode today. Excellent episode and will continue watching. Love Cheryl Ladd in this and all of the other characters are great, too. Gorgeous scenery. Opened with the beautiful Hawaiian song, "I'll Remember You." That song brings me to tears.
Garison Piatt Start with the address, which doesn't exist, and move on to the crude treatment of Hawaiian culture. Cheryl Ladd's character treated every aspect of Hawaiian cuisine with disgust. Local culture was ridiculed. No one spoke pidgin, except for comic relief. When they needed to show a heiau, instead of using any one of the thousands that dot Oahu, they built one at the base of Punchbowl Overlook.This show was an affront to everything Hawaiian, and that it was carried into syndication while Byrds of Paradise -- which embraced Hawaiian culture -- was canceled mid-season was a slap in the face to Hawaii, her people, and anyone who truly cares about the Islands.If you enjoyed this show, for everyone's sake, stay on the mainland.
kalika-4 I didn't find out about One West Waikiki until after it was already canceled and showing in reruns. This was a great show that wasn't given a chance. I would like to see it brought back with the same cast. I also had the pleasure of visiting Hawaii and saw many of the locations used on the show. I am also wondering where the location was for the building known as One West Waikiki. My brother thinks that the exterior shot was filmed at Kapiolani Park. I think my favorite episode was "Kingmare on Night St." which was the episode of Holli's dream. Another one of my favorite episodes was the one with Doug McClure. Kimo Kahoano was great as the professor. I hope someday this series will be shown again, revived with the same cast, or released on DVD.
mpmurr For those who are enjoying "Crossing Jordan" there was an equally good show which was almost exactly the same except shot in Hawaii. Yes "One West Waikiki" starring Cheryl Ladd was an excellent example of showing good acting with excellent locations and reasonable plots. Fast forward seven years and lo and behold NBC schedule "Crossing Jordan" a copycat of "One West Waikiki" without the beautiful scenery...go figure.
