The role of Lyle Eckert was played by horror legend Robert Englund, most famous for playing the character of Freddy Krueger in the Nightmare on Elm Street movie franchise and the Freddy's Nightmares series.
At the kidnapper's hideout, one of Eckert's henchmen is wearing the same studio wardrobe jacket as two different characters in the previous shows "Trust No One" and "El Coyote".
While chasing the robbers, Walker uses his truck to clip the back of their van and spin it out. This is commonly referred to as the Percision Immobilization Technique Maneuver, also known as the P.I.T. Maneuver, a trick used by all law enforcement agencies in America that police officers use to end a pursuit.
