While the Hunter opening credits and theme song made noticeable changes from season to season, the final season's theme song and opening title offered a more drastic change. The opening title showed many of California's beautiful sights, including Mann's Chinese theater on the Hollywood Walk Of Fame and the beach in Santa Monica. The theme was a much more upbeat version.
Hunter wears blue jeans and a casual shirt, rather than a suit.
Rick Hunter and Charlie Devane moved out of Central Division Homicide and transfered to the Metro Division.
The departure of Dee McCall (Stepfanie Kramer) marked the most dramatic change in the show's run.
The show's main title font is in red and no longer joined at the gun. The opening credits features pre-takes from this season's episodes, particularly from episodes from A Girl Named Hunter, The Legion, and Investment in Death. The closing credits this season are shown with a still frame shot of the badge (seen in the opening credits).
The closing credits in this season are shown over the Los Angeles skyway at night. Only the opening credits are listed in white. The in-episode and closing credits are listed in yellow.
For the rest of Hunter's run, the show always opens up with "Tonight on Hunter... or Previously on Hunter..." before the opening credits.
The opening credits in this season are clips from the opening credits seen in the first four. The main title font is in blue and white and it will be the last season to have the gun joined with the show's title side by side.
This season, the main theme is re-arranged and is similar to the theme arrangement from the first two seasons.
This is the first season that Hunter and McCall wear blue and white police jackets.
This season's credits are a major overhaul of the season 3 credits. The the main opening credits, in-episode credits, and closing credits are in yellow instead of white. However, the theme arrangement is the same as the season 3 arrangement.
At the beginning of this episode when Hunter crawls out from under the tanker truck that his car has crashed into, you can clearly see this is a stunt man and not Fred Dryer, as he is crawling toward the camera.
The hands that dialed the payphone at the beginning of the episode are too pudgy to be Fred Dryer's. Clearly, someone else is dialing the phone.
Theresa Saldana really was the victim of a horrific stalking attack. On March 15, 1982, she sustained 10 stab wounds and eventually recovered after 4 hours of surgery and a 4-month hospital stay. The 1990 Anti-stalking law came into being partly as a result of that attack.
In this season, the opening credits now feature a different angle of McCall's car, shots of an old barrio, and a woman lying dead. This season is the first to use a much differet arrangement for the theme.
Richard A. Colla, the director of this episode also directed the original pilot for Battlestar Gallactica.
Jack Starrett who plays the bartender was not only a great actor (Blazing Saddles and more) but was also a terrific director. Among his many TV and film titles is the cult classic Cleopatra Jones.
The movie theater across the street from the Hollywood Wax Museum advertised the James Bond movie A View to a Kill as its current feature.
Dee Dee McCall tells Hunter that she writes songs in her spare time. She also bakes cakes.
Though Stepfanie Kramer is a trained mezzo soprano singer, she does not appear to be singing the vocal parts herself in this episode.
