The episode takes place in 'Tecolote', a word from Nahuatl, in several Central American countries for 'owl'.
One of the very rare episodes where Rockford does not drive his trademark Pontiac Firebird. It is only seen parked by his trailer in the beginning of the episode.
None of the regular supporting characters appear in the episode although Jim Rockford makes an allusion to his father at the end.
Christine Van Deerlin tells Rockford "I toil not, neither do I spin." This is taken from Matthew 6:28: "And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin."
The scene where Rockford dives under his trailer to avoid being shot, shows there's no plumbing, nor water hooked to the trailer. The trailer sits on a parking lot appears not to have been designed to provide sewer and water services for a mobile home.
