This is one of 2 episode which uses a different ending song. (edit) This episode marks the first appearance of Lance LeGault as the team's nemesis Colonel Roderick Decker. (edit)

Murdock: This looks like a job for the Range Rider.
B.A.: I'm gonna shut this fool up for good. (edit) B.A.: I'm getting tired of you talking to your invisible friends.
Murdock: Does he look invisible to you? You cannot see him? (edit)

Berths 57 and 58 at the Port of Los Angeles provide the setting for Decker's confrontation with the A-Team, just before Hannibal drives the van out of Berth 58 and into the water. (edit) Murdock: The Range Rider would sooner face a dozen bandits without his six-shooters than not have Thunder at his side.

In the TV series The Range Rider, the hero rode a buckskin named Rawhide, not Thunder. (edit) Some of the locations used for the car chase after Decker shows up at the party for Face's film: The corner of Mateo St. and S. Santa Fe Ave. in Los Angeles. The bridge in the background is E. 4th St.

The Rezex Corporation (Geltman Industries) building at 1901 Sacramento St.

The Charles G. Spilo building is located at 585 S. Santa Fe Ave. After passing it, they turn under the elevated section of E. 6th St.

After Hannibal says, "They'll never catch us," they turn north on Wilson St. from Bay St. That's where they lose Decker by parking on the car carrier. (edit) The clip in which Hannibal says to Amy, "Oh, that. File it under old business," while he's carrying B.A. is from the two-hour pilot, "Mexican Slayride." Face's part in the scene has been cut, since the part was played by Tim Dunigan in the pilot. (edit) The clip of B.A. being loaded into a DC-3 (wearing a purple outfit) is from the season one episode "Holiday in the Hills"; they are trying to escape from the Guatemalan army, not Lynch. (edit)

Murdock: Besides, the Chequea were never a warring tribe. They were fishermen who migrated south during the war of 1864.

There is no "Chequea" tribe among the officially recognized tribes in the U.S. However, the "Indian War of 1864" was a real war in the Nebraska Territory, documented in a book by the same title written by Eugene Ware in 1911. (edit) Murdock: Good idea, Kemo Sabe.

"Kemo Sabe" was often heard on The Lone Ranger -- the television series (1949-1957) and the radio show (1933-1954). (edit) The title of this episode and numerous moments within the episode refer to The Range Rider, an American Western TV series that aired from 1951 to 1953, starring Jock Mahoney as the title character and Dick Jones as his sidekick.
