Minutiæ

Gambit calls Koschev "Dimitri Koschev" despite the Toronto Police Record clearly recording his name as "Anatole" - and why are Koschev's details in imperial measurements when all the other records are metric?

Steed is recorded as being 85.729 kilograms and 1.855 metres; Purdey is 58.967 kilograms and 1.732 metres; Gambit's record is not shown. Paul Baker is recorded as being 78.6364 kilos & 1.754 metres.

Continuity: Gambit steals an ugly car with the number plate MAK 477, but later the plates read MAK 344.

Harvey Atkin is best remembered for a rôle almost identical to the one he plays here - the desk sergeant for the entire run of Cagney and Lacey.

Suzette Couture is best known for being a screen writer, notably for the Avonlea sagas.
