The prison breakout scene was reused footage from the second episode "Knight of the Phoenix pt2".
The action-packed chase sequence in Act Four is missing from the earlier drafts of Frank Telford's script. Originally, Michael and K.I.T.T. drove to the Hallelujah Press offices via back-streets and alleys to avoid the police. In the episode, Aunt Martha doubles for Michael (wearing his leather jacket!) and speeds about town in K.I.T.T. to divert the police long enough for Michael to get there alone.
Mockingbird Square (later to be renamed Courthouse Square) on the Universal backlot was used for the town of Alpine Crest. It was previously used earlier in the season as White Rock in Good Day at White Rock.
Parts of this episode were filmed in Covina, California.
It is clear that the town's layout was done on the set that would be used 2 years later as Hill Valley in Back to the Future.
