    • Trivia
      The building that portrays the police headquarters in this season has changed from last time Back then it was at 635 Mateo Street, Los Angeles, California, USA, but is now at 9770 Culver Boulevard, south of Beverly Hills, with its swimming pools and movie stars, and east of Santa Monica. All that is left of this building now is the front part, which appears to be the arch gateway to the Culver City City Hall.

    It's a Chinese war in L.A.'s Chinatown!

    This "Hunter" episode from season 2 number 2 called "Night of the Dragons" is one that was highly memorable and entertaining with action that included car chases, gun shootouts, fist fights, and kidnappings! Wow what an action packed hour only the story and subplot all relates to a underworld gang. As it is clear a power struggle is going on in L. A.'s Chinatown as a Chinese gang killing leads to a connection that involves a police Lt. A Chinese American who has interest in the case. And you guessed it Hunter and McCall are also hot on the trails of the bad guys as this is a war in the making! Also memorable in this episode is that Det. McCall is kidnapped being tied up and gagged(as Stepfanie Kramer has her second damsel in distress scene of the series(first being season one's "Avenging Angel" episode.) Overall well paced and fast style kind of episode one of the better ones and highly memorable and entertaining early episodes of the series.
