The German episode title is "Der Tod unter der Zirkuskuppel", meaning "Death Under the Big Top". The French episode title is "Quel cirque!", meaning "What a Circus!". (edit) This is the second of James Callahan's two, unrelated appearances on Knight Rider. He can also be seen in season one's "Good Day At White Rock." (edit)

(seeing the clown mobile)
KITT: What are they going to do, kill us with confetti? (edit) KITT: My research tells me that [circus folk are] an extremely close-knit group, who are about as open to strangers as a convention of crime figures. (edit) Terry: What's the saying? 'Tears are as much a part of the circus as the laughter.' (edit) Tiger: You must be Turbo Man, the man with the magic car.
Michael: Oh, yeah. Well he just sits there; I do all the work.
KITT: I heard that, Michael, and speaking of work, don't we have some to do?
Michael: Not now, KITT.
KITT: Michael.
Michael: Not Now! (edit) KITT: Going undercover is one thing, but do I really have to be lit up like a Christmas tree? (edit)

When they stop after doing Ski-Mode, KITT lands on straw. Michael goes to sign his contract, and when he tells KITT to pick him up, a close-up on the tires shows them screeching on bare pavement. (edit) Devon tells Michael that "that awful clown" knocked him out, but he was attacked from behind and never saw his assailant. (edit) Gear shifting footage is flip-flopped, as when Michael sets out to rescue Terry, he's shown shifting to D, and then reversing. He then shifts to R and drives off. (edit)
