While not established from scenes in the show, as other scenes during the opening credits have been, the small plane and MacGyver's wardrobe used for the shot when Richard Dean Anderson's name appears on screen during the opening credits are both from this episode.
Richard Dean Anderson (MacGyver) would later appear in an episode of Stargate SG-1 (1997) with the same title: Last Stand (2002).
Although they appeared years apart, General Hospital featured both Richard Dean Anderson & Shaun Cassidy. Jackie Earle Haley co-starred in the series Breaking Away with Shaun Cassidy. As the ex-wife of David Cassidy, Kay Lenz is the former sister-in-law of Shaun Cassidy.
