TRIVIA:
This is the third and last appearance of Catherine Hickland as Stevie. She previously appeared in the episodes WHITE BIRD and LET IT BE ME.
The wedding of Michael and Stevie was designed to be a recreation of David Hasselhoff and Catherine Hickland's real wedding. Devon gives the bride away while the ceremony is presided over by the Reverend Henry Cutrona. Publicity material for the episode states that Edward Mulhare and Reverend Cutrona performed the same duties at David Hasselhoff and Catherine Hickland's wedding ceremony two years before.
This is the only show outside of the PILOT EPISODE in which Michael almost kills someone in cold blood.
In an ironic twist of fate, Catherine Hickland went on to marry US soap star Michael E. Knight. They separated in 2006.
SCRIPT TO SCREEN:
A sequence at the beginning of the script sees a jovial Michael (to contrast his depression later) test-piloting K.I.T.T. in Super Pursuit Mode for Bonnie. They unwittingly pass Durant's van which is on its way to the Government Data Center.
An exchange between Michael and Devon cut from the scene outside the hospital foreshadows Knight Rider 2000. Devon tells Michael, "Certain men are chosen to enjoy a little and endure much...You're that breed of man." Michael replies, "No, Devon...you're that breed of man. I want to be the kind with no responsibility. I don't want to be involved in any of the so-called 'great' schemes of this world."
The wedding was staged differently in early drafts -- Durant posed as the Minister, and Michael and Stevie never managed to exchange vows.
Durant was originally known only as "The Falcon."
