The role of Michael Murtaugh in this episode, played by Burt Reynolds, was played by Leonardo DiCaprio's character Rick Dalton when this episode was recreated for Quentin Tarantino's ONCE UPON A TIME...IN HOLLYWOOD (2019). Ironically, Burt Reynolds was supposed to play the part of George Spahn in Tarantino's film, but he died before it was shot and Bruce Dern took over the role.
Burt Reynolds and Norman Fell would play detectives, partners on the short lived TV show, Dan August in 1970.
