Trivia
Freon to make a steel latch brittle is sort of a real thing. For every steel alloy there is a temperature called the ductile to brittle transition temperature, get below that and the steel can snap. For some steels this is about -20°F, for some about -70°F or even lower. Freon generally could only get something down to -22°F.

Goofs
The parachutes of Mac and Kelly both opened as they jumped out of the airplane. This is normal procedure if they were connected to a static line, which deploys the chute at a predetermined distance from the plane. However, neither one of them were attached to a static line.

Quotes
Pete Thornton: [Handing over a gun to MacGyver] Here. Just for insurance.
MacGyver: Pete, you know how I feel about those things.
Pete Thornton: Yeah, I do, but you're defenseless out here.
MacGyver: No, just weaponless.
