Trivia
ADD TRIVIA- The 'basement explosion' scene is part of the 2nd Season opening credits. Edit
- Huggy's racket: "Rodent Downs" – mouse racing! (Seen again in the second season episode "Tap Dancing Her Way Right Back Into Your Hearts".) Edit
- All of the shots of Fireball's car during the opening chase scenes are of him driving a car that appears to be an early sixties Chevy. (Maybe the same car used in 'Savage Sunday') However, whenever a close-up of Fireball is shown through the windshield, he is clearly driving a Torino, obvious because of the upholstery. It might even be a 'Starsky' Torino, filmed in such a way as to hide the red paint and other too-obvious things about the car! Edit

Notes
ADD NOTES- Watch out for giant wrestler 'Mummy' in the final scene of this episode - played by Richard Kiel, best recognised as Roger Moore-era James Bond's metal-mouthed foe Jaws, a role which he would play for the first time the following year in The Spy Who Loved Me (1977). If this episode had been produced after that film, Kiel would no doubt have been given a much larger part in the story to make the most of his by then iconic appearance. Edit
- Two performers seen in this episode, Marilyn Joi (Charlie) and Sonny Klein (Fireball Cannon), are both un-credited on-screen. Edit

Quotes
ADD QUOTES- Huggy Bear: (on why he runs underground mouse races) You ever tried to get ten horses in a basement? Edit
