Episode Quotes

Joanna St. John: You seem a study in contrast, you know. Even your name: Eduardo O'Brian. Are you Mexican or Irish?
Eduardo O'Brian: Both. My mother was Mexican, my father was Irish.
Joanna St. John: Aha.
Eduardo O'Brian: They had two things in common: Catholicism and sex. Neither was enough.
Michael Knight: Boca Culebra is a perfect description. The mouth looks like an abandoned mine shaft, a hole where the dirt comes out. The snake is an underground tunnel dug by force labor.
Eduardo O'Brian: A little information is like a little power. You always want more.

Mistakes/Goofs

  • Goof (continuity error): Near the end of the movie when the rocket-launcher is being used, it usually shows the launch-tubes as all being loaded with rockets, even though several of them had already been fired.
  • Goof (revealing mistake): As the helicopter is being micro-jammed and brought back down, its altimeter is shown to be spinning rapidly, but the indicator-needle is turning the wrong way - the altitude is shown to be rising, not dropping.
  • Goof (factual errors): When David Dalton throws the rope over the helicopter's skid, the looped end attaches itself to the middle of the skid, between the front and back leg-braces. A lasso-noose cannot be attached to an enclosed (closed-loop) structure - there has to be an open-ended object for the rope-loop to settle over and tighten itself around.

Trivia
