Trivia
Even though Raymond Burr's characters Perry Mason and Robert Ironside are in different series and have no relation to each other, both had moved to Denver, Colorado at the time of their reunion movies which was the location that Raymond Burr preferred to work in.

Goofs
In the beginning of this movie, Ironside is given the gift of a fancy new wheelchair at his retirement dinner. He declines to accept it, however, and states that he would instead like to donate it to St. Catherine's Hospital, where, 26 years ago on his discharge after being crippled by a rifle shot, the sisters there gave him the wheelchair he currently still uses and wants to keep. This is not 100% accurate: In the original 1967 series pilot, which begins with the shooting, the sisters and staff of the hospital do present Ironside with a wheelchair on his departure, but it's St. Mary's Hospital, not St. Catherine's.
