In the prelude, Cutter quotes a price as a few thousand shillings. This puts Maltaka in the same economic zone as Tanzania where the shilling is also the unit of currency
The director Goran Gajic is the real life husband of Mira Furlan (Yoka Laneesh).
At 32:37 Sheena, Elena, and Cutter enter a cave. This is the same cave/stage set which had been used in several previous episodes.
This episode's title and plot were probably inspired by 1948's The Treasure of the Sierra Madre starring Humphrey Bogart and Walter Houston.
The end credits list Heather Thomson as "''digi-sheena' animator".
