MacGyver's MGB car parachuting out of the back of a cargo plane was actually from a mid 80's TV commercial for the British Leyland Motors MG Car Company.
When Chris Rhodes says that MacGyver looks like James Bond, the music slightly changes to sound like something from a James Bond movie (specifically Goldfinger).
This is the first episode to not feature an Opening Gambit.
This was the second episode after the pilot where the director's credit was Alan Smithee.
