    • Trivia
      When Kuryakin tells Solo he's going to drive off and get rid of the guard Solo jokingly salutes him. Solo salutes the British way with his palm facing outward, instead of the American way. This would imply that Solo is really Canadian, which is how he was originally conceived when the show was first being developed.
    • Goofs
      At one point Kuryakin gets out of his cell by climbing over the gate, which would make such a cell useless.
    • Quotes

      Illya Kuryakin: My name is Illya Kuryakin. I'm a member of the U-N-C-L...

      1st M.P.: That's a pretty weird name Kuryakin. Where are you from fella? What unit? Recite the chain of command.

      Illya Kuryakin: Good grief.
