Actress Farrah Forke (Kimberly Haviland / Harmon) was named after fellow actress Farrah Fawcett, who was once married to actor Lee Majors. Both were from Corpus Christi, Texas and both died of cancer.
This is the last appearance of actress Lindsay Wagner as 'The Bionic Woman' and actor Lee Majors as 'The Six Million Dollar Man', assuming one doesn't count Trojan War (1997), where he played Officer Austin, complete with the "bionic" audio effect used in in one scene.
Dave Thomas, the late fast-food mogul and founder of Wendy's restaurants, is among the hostages in the embassy basement. At 1:09:05 (without commercials), Steve asks him how he's doing, and he replies, "I'm OK, Steve."
The scene where Steve and Jaime play racquetball mimics a scene from The Bionic Woman episode "Kill Oscar", where the bionic duo face-off playing handball. Although Sommers is the former tennis pro, Austin wins both games.
