The famous B&w publicity still of Starsky & Hutch is used on the ship on the sandwich billboard that announces their undercover act of "Hack & Zack". It is the one which has David Soul sitting on a stool in his leather jacket, and Glaser standing, wearing his iconic "Starsky sweater".
Paul Michael Glaser's wife Elizabeth plays one of the talent show patrons.
Starsky says that Hutch was born in Duluth, Minnesota.
Brothers Patsy and Nicky Cairo are played by real brothers Paul and Charles Picerni.
