    This was one of the first eppisodes I watched and at the moment i have seen all the 1st serise.
    For me there needed to be more of a decent story line instead of just a hostage situation if you get what i mean.
    It was a shame that that was Cats last eppisode really because she didnt really do anything in the story at all.
    I personally wish it could have been Jimmy that had rescued them but still,that remains for another eppisode.
    The main proberlam was that superman wasnt in the story a lot. I love this serise.moreless

    • Robert Beltran and Jonathan Frakes share another thing in common besides guest starring in L&C episodes. Jonathan Frakes appeared in the third season episode "Don't Tug On Superman's Cape" playing the villain Tim Lake. Both were first officers in the Star Trek franchise. Robert Beltran was Commander Chakotay on Star Trek Voyager and Jonathan Frakes as Commander William T. Riker on Star Trek: The Next Generation. Edit
    • This is the last episode for Tracy Scoggins (Cat Grant). Apparently, ABC thought her character was too racy for a show airing at 8 PM. She can also be seen in the 5th season of Babylon 5 and it's spin-off Crusade. Edit

    • Lois: (after Cat leaves the newsroom waving lingerie in the air) If I'm still alive on Monday morning, she won't be! Edit
    • Lois: What could possibly be here in the Daily Planet newsroom that would be worth risking your lives and the lives of everyone in Metropolis? Fuentes: What else has man sought after without pity or remorse since the dawn of time? Lois: Inner peace? Fuentes: Cold hard cash. Lois: Oh. Edit
    • Lois: You know, it's times like these I think maybe I should just get a regular, boring job, settle down with a guy who sells insurance and have 2.4 kids. (pause) Lois and Clark: together, laughingly) Nah. Edit

    • Title The title and the episode's plot are a tribute to the movie Die Hard, in which robbers, posing as terrorists, took over a building. Edit
    • Perry: ...like that mess Geraldo got into that one time. Journalist and talk show host Geraldo Rivera did a 2-hour live special also involving breaking into the safe of a dead mobster: "The Mystery of Al Capone's Vault". This 1986 broadcast garnered a massive rating for number of viewers, but was very anticlimactic; instead of finding the bones of the famous gangster, only a pile of dirt and a few bottles of moonshine were uncovered.
