Justin Lazard would reprise his role as Joey Hardin in two further season five episodes: Miami Squeeze (1989) and the "lost" episode Leap of Faith (1989).
The Netherland Hotel (shown when Tubbs, Switek, Reyes, and Bates have their shootout) is another Art Deco hotel that was renovated after the show went off the air into a high-priced condominium complex.
This episode features the shortest sample of a song in the entire series, with barely 5 seconds of "Layla" being played before the witness turns it off.
