Marcia Strassman, who plays Dr Trish George, had previously appeared in the original series' 2-part episode Only Rock 'n Roll Will Never Die: Part 1 (1979), Only Rock 'n Roll Will Never Die: Part 2 (1979).
Stefan Gierasch did not appear on the original series, but portrayed a recurring character on James Garner's earlier series, Nichols (1971).
The fifth of eight "Rockford Files" reunion TV movies.
Because James Garner's original production company, Cherokee Productions ceased operations after 1980 because of Garner's lawsuit with Universal Studios, Garner formed a new production company to produce the 1990s 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 Deux cent dollars plus les frais (1974), who started writing for Garner shows all the way back during Nichols (1971).
