    • Trivia
      Half this title's premise would be revisited 5 years later, in Sitting Duck/Sweet Suzi Swann (1982), where Mr. Roarke himself becomes the hunted to Chuck Conners' hunter.
    • Goofs
      When Tattoo rings the bell, it is way above him, beyond his reach; but when the camera P.O.V. is from outside the tower, he simply raises his arm to stop the bell from ringing. From the interior (first P.O.V.) it is clearly impossible for Tattoo to reach the bell.
    • Quotes
      • Michelle: [asking about Mr. Roarke] What is he?
      • Paul Henley: God only knows.
      • Michelle: I wonder if He does.
