Narrative:

I had just taken over the radar position. I was working controller in charge and arrival radar combined because of low staffing and trainees working the other two radar positions. I took over with aircraft X being vectored for the ILS. The previous controller had given aircraft X a vector toward the final from the southeast to a point 2 miles from the ILS gate. I was thinking about a sequence for the satellite airport and the ILS to 8L when I noticed aircraft X speed still at 250 knots. I gave a speed reduction about a mile before a turn to join final. When I gave the 060 heading to join; the aircraft X pilot flew through the localizer and into a 4000 ft MVA (minimum vectoring altitude). I had him join the localizer and track inbound till he was in a 3000 ft MVA area again then I vectored the aircraft back to the west to resequencing for a proper ILS established 2 miles outside the approach gate. I took over for a bad vector and instead of trying to correct the situation and resequencing immediately I tried to make the situation I was handed work. Have all aircraft not being vectored for visual approach turn on the ILS further outside the gate than the 7110.65 requires. Then if the aircraft slops through final they will still be in a 3000 ft MVA area and can vector on a 100 heading to rejoin.

Title: HCF TRACON Controller reported that an aircraft flew through the final approach course and into a higher MVA.
