Last credit for James Garner's stand-in, assistant, bit part actor, and friend, Luis Delgado. Delgado died 24 March, 1997; 6 months 6 days after this film's premiere (18 September, 1996).
Because James Garner's original production company, Cherokee Productions ceased operations after1980, due to Garner's lawsuit with Universal Studios, Garner formed a new production company to produce the 1990's Rockford movies. The name of the new production company was MGB Productions. MGB was a British-made sports coupé, manufactured by MG, fitting in with Mr Garners love of automobile, and also fit in nicely with the names the initials stand for; "M" for Meta Rosenberg, "G" for James Garner,, and "B" for Juanita Bartlett. Meta Rosenberg was his long-time agent/producer, who also directed a few episodes of the original series. Juanita Bartlett was also a long time writer, producer during production of Detektiv Rockford - Anruf genügt (1974), who started writing for Garner shows all the way back during Sheriff ohne Colt und Tadel (1971).
The sixth of eight "Rockford Files" reunion TV movies.
Even though Pete Carpenter, who co-composed themes and many episode scores for Detektiv Rockford - Anruf genügt (1974) and other TV series with Mike Post, passed away in 1987, he is still credited with Post on this and the rest of the Rockford Files TV movies.
Patrick Dougherty, listing his clients, includes "the writing team of Frolov and Schneider." This is an inside hello to Diane Frolov and Andrew Schneider who had very recently worked with writer/producer/director David Chase on the series Ausgerechnet Alaska (1990).
