Notes

add »
Rick Springfield, who plays Tom in this episode, will return again in the Season 3 episode Amazon Hot Wax. He will, however, play a different character. (edit)
In this episode, we see Diana spin into Wonder Woman while holding a package with a bomb in it. In all previous cases but one, where Diana was holding something (glasses, purse, etc.), the items disappeared when she spun into Wonder Woman. In this case, however, the package/bomb remains in her hand. The other case occured in "Mind Stealers from Outer Space, Part 2." Diana spins into Wonder Woman while holding Andros' pendant. (edit)

Trivia

add »
Goof: After saving Tom, when Wonder Woman tosses the Taggarts off-screen past Nadia's door, in the shadows on the floor you can see Mr. Taggart land on top of a stunt mat. A few seconds later, a white piece of fabric suddenly appears along the open door frame and then vanishes. (edit)
Goof: After Mariposa jumps from the airplane and is skydiving to the ground, as he's seen in a wide shot, he is wearing a mask over his face. However, when the camera moves in for a close-up, the mask is gone. (edit)
Goof: After Diana chases Tom into the gym, she turns into Wonder Woman in an alley. Watch the trash can she stands in front of, it will suddenly disappear after she makes the change. (edit)
Goof: While chasing Tom through the gym, Wonder Woman jumps onto a trampoline. If you look closely at the right side of the screen, someone's arm becomes visible just as Wonder Woman's feet leave the trampoline. (edit)
This is the second time Wonder Woman changes her tiara into a boomerang. She previously did it in The Return of Wonder Woman while defending Steve against crooks that were going to put a bug in his watch. (edit)
