TRIVIA

The cast is chased through the streets of San Francisco. During the chase, a green Volkswagen-esqe hovercar keeps appearing. This is a sly reference to Bullitt (1968) in which a green Volkswagen shows up several times during the famous car chase. Also, the Camper-van the characters drive loses a hubcap which re-appears in the next scene, just like Det. Lt. Bullitt's car which loses a total of six hub-caps in the car chase.

For his guest appearance in this episode, Beck (I) actually requested the writers add more jokes poking fun at him.
The episode title "Bendin' in the Wind" is a reference to the song, "Blowin' in the Wind" by the famous American Folk singer, Bob Dylan.
