Trivia
Stephen Furst, Marshall Teague and Don Stroud would all - just a few years later - have various roles on the hit Sci-Fi show, Babylon 5.

Goofs
Mac Gyver's use of a rope to remove/disable the helicopter's tail rotor would not work as seen. The spinning tail rotor would have chewed the rope to bits.

Also, a rotor could not have been pulled off by an old rope.

It is a dangerous practice to be at the rear of a running helicopter as the spinning tail rotor is as lethal as a plane's propeller, if not more so.

Quotes
Dr. Kozby: Well you know the Research and Development budget?
Pete Thornton: Yeah...
Dr. Kozby: I kinda spent it all on the Research part.

Anthrax

I find it interesting that this Episode introduced the world to Anthrax for the very first time and no one really knew that considering we heard about Anthrax in 1993 from the first ever terrorist attack on US soil on the news. During 1993 the World got a taste of just dangerous this Chemical really was. In this episode of Macgyver it is finally explained and its interesting that the News didn't know anything about it. Back in the late 80's TV was very different then today's generation of TV. I love How Hollywood always has our future written in fiction. Now that we live in 2015 Things are not so Black and White anymore. We now have Hollywood to keep us on our toes. In a politically correct world we now can't even talk about anything that even relates to today's TV.
