Trivia
MacGyver's MGB car parachuting out of the back of a cargo plane was actually from a mid 80's TV commercial for the British Leyland Motors MG Car Company.

Goofs
Early in the episode, MacGyver says that Catlin is untouchable and can't be arrested. While this would be true in other parts of the Caribbean, since the episode takes place in the U.S. Virgin Islands, Catlin could easily be arrested by federal law enforcement (FBI or U.S. Marshals), as it the Virgin Islands are still part of the United States.

Quotes
Chris Rhodes: [puts tuxedo coat on MacGyver] Not bad. You look like... James Bond.
MacGyver: I feel like...
[fake English accent]
MacGyver: James Bond.
