Trivia
This is the first episode to use realistic spider-webbing rather than the heavy rope webbing used in most episodes.

Goofs
Early in the episode Spider-Man runs out of an airport without his utility belt. But then, in the action scene outside, the belt twice momentarily appears on Spider-Man. During Peter Parker's second and third outings as Spider-Man he is belt-less except for two moments. The exception in the second outing is the shot of Spider-Man jumping over the edge of a rooftop. The exception in the third outing is the close shot of fallen Spider-Man landing on top of warehouse boxes and lying there.

Quotes
Captain Barbera: Tell me something Parker, whenever there's trouble, how is it that you always seem to end up right in the middle of it?
Peter Parker: Just luck, I guess.

Alternate versions
This episode was combined with Night of the Clones (1978) and released as a feature length presentation on home video and laserdisc, now titled "Night of the Clones & Escort to Danger".
