    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      "This road would definitely be an E ride at Disneyland." From 1959 to 1982 the rides were rated from A (teacup kiddie rides) to E (Matterhorn or Pirates of the Caribbean). You bought coupons of differing values and those were your tickets to ride.
    • Goofs
      If the escaping well-gas could actually be touched off merely by the small spark from a somewhat-distant shattering light bulb that was swinging in a strong breeze, which incidentally would have been carrying the gas from the well away, also, and dissipating it enough that there might not be enough of a concentration to ignite, then surely the small debris-fire that was still burning very near the well after Mac detonated the nitro over the well would have re-ignited the gas that was still coming up.
    • Quotes

      Bill Farren: You know, back in the 1920's, they used to truck nitro out to the fields.

      MacGyver: Yeah?

      Bill Farren: Yeah

      MacGyver: They used to call that a suicide run, didn't they?

    I'm pretty sure they stole this idea from a john Wayne movie.
