This is the second of three consecutive episodes (along with Glades (1984) before it and Little Prince (1984) after it) that open with establishing shots of the seedy areas of Miami, many of which are located in the South Beach area before the revitalization that took place there during and after the series was on the air.
The episode marks the debut of Tubbs' Coupe de Ville on the show, first seen when he and Crockett drive to Alvarado's house to question him, and in the subsequent car chase. The car would remain Tubbs' personal mode of transport for the rest of the show's run.
The footage of Crockett's Daytona speeding through the night, with the car skipping off of the camber of the Miami streets, is recycled from Cool Runnin' (1984), and was also used in Calderone's Return: Part 1 - The Hit List (1984).
This is one of several episodes that does not end on a freeze frame. However, the technique, one of the show's trademarks, is readily apparent elsewhere in the episode, with several other freeze frames at dramatic points.
When Trudy is crossing the street to meet Gina for lunch, the film Heartbreakers (1984) is advertised in the background on a movie theater marquee. Henry G. Sanders appears in both Give a Little, Take a Little (1984) and Heartbreakers (1984).
