Cinnamon Carter: All women are dangerous, Your Highness.

Mistakes/Goofs

Goof (revealing mistake): At the very end of the episode after Cinnamon and Andre have sat in the red Aston Martin a frame of the car from behind is frozen as the credits role. You can clearly see there are only four people in the car when there should be five. (Front) Willy, Andre, Cinnamon (Back) Barney, Rollin.
Goof (continuity error): When Kostas is teaching Cinnamon how to play Baccarat, he draws a card for her. As the card leaves the holder, it flips up for a second and can clearly be seen to be a seven of clubs. But, in closeup, when he flips the card over, it is a seven of diamonds.
Goof (continuity error): During the opening briefing, in a closeup, Andre's hand is seen placing four gold chips on number seventeen. Then, when the scene switches to the casino, during the establishing shots, the exact same shot of a hand placing four gold chips on number seventeen is used again.

Trivia

Mission leader Dan Briggs (played by Steven Hill), only appears in the opening and planning scenes of the episode. He is absent for the rest of the show.
