A "Siskel and Ebert Fruit Cart" appears in the movie in reference to Roger Ebert's glossary of movie terms where, under the title "Fruit Cart!", it's explained that during any chase scene involving a foreign or ethnic locale, a fruit cart will be overturned during the chase, and an angry peddler will run into the middle of the street to shake his fist at the hero's departing vehicle.
At the time of filming, executive producer Paul Maslansky anticipated also making Ski Patrol II, III and a possible spin-off television series, none of which actually came to fruition.
