Trivia
ADD TRIVIA
- Jim Watkins' character was named Jerry Wallace in this pilot, rather than Jerry Anderson as in the rest of the series. Edit
- Although Tony lived in a converted Boeing 707 four-engine jet airliner (not a 747 as most people erroneously state), the takeoff scene here shows a Boeing 737 (two engines). Edit
- In the pilot film The Magician's name was Anthony Dorian but in the series it became Anthony Blake. It may have been changed to avoid conflict with a contemporary, real-life performing magician named Bob (The Amazing) Dorian. Edit
