    • Trivia
      Last credit for James Garner's stand-in, assistant, bit part actor, and friend, Luis Delgado. Delgado died 24 March, 1997; 6 months 6 days after this film's premiere (18 September, 1996).
    • Goofs
      It is clearly established in dialogue several times (as well as in a flashback sequence) that the character of Megan Dougherty was 15 in 1971. This would have made the character 22 years old -- yet somehow already a fully qualified Ph.D. psychiatrist with a long-established, thriving practice -- when she first appeared in the 1978 Rockford Files episode Black Mirror (1978).
    • Quotes

      Evelyn 'Angel' Martin: Boy, you got some brass p-pitts makin' a friend work off a promissory note.

      [pressure washing Jim's place]

      Jim Rockford: You think I wouldn't rather have a qualified painter?

      Evelyn 'Angel' Martin: I had to have some periodontal work done, okay? Some I happen to be one of the eighteen million people unemployed right now, without a safety net. What am I supposed to do? Let the teeth rot?

      Jim Rockford: You don't have a safety net because you haven't worked for Wrigley Brothers or any other kind of gainful employment for over ten years.

      Evelyn 'Angel' Martin: With my heart murmur?

    Outstanding
    This Rockford come back is the best of the eight. It plays like a motion picture with a beginning, a middle, and an ending. You don't need to have been a Rockford fan or to have seen an episode of the original series to enjoy this teleplay.
