Quotes[]
"Start talking, old man! Dagger's temper is explosive, and his fuse is real short!"
- Sly Rax
"You better tell us where it is, Chief Slow Eagle, or you'll find there's a snake deadlier than a rattler!"
"What have I done?"
"Good work, Bruce. Now watch me give Vanessa a flip-flop."
"Great stars of Texas!"
"When all of the Miles Mayhems of this world are gone, I think it may finally reveal its secrets."
Satoisms[]
- "It matters not what a key is made of, so long as it opens the lock."
- "A wounded rabbit makes the full fox hungry."
- "When the eggs are disturbed, the bird makes a new nest."
Continuity[]
- Miles Mayhem uses a remote control to summon Switchblade. This is possibly the same devise Cliff Dagger used when the vehicle was disguised in a fake UFO shell in The Deathstone.
Conflicts[]
- When the M.A.S.K. computer is selecting the best agents for the mission, it neglects to mention Alex Sector's name.
- During the selection of the M.A.S.K. agents, other agents are briefly visible each time before one is selected. At one point, Buddy Hawks is visible but is not selected.
- Gloria Baker is shown during her day job as a driving instructor. In the first shot, the outside of the car she is sitting in looks like her M.A.S.K. vehicle, Shark. In the next shot, it has changed to a beige color. Also, the background in these two shots is a quiet lane with trees in the background, but after she gets out, the car is suddenly on a busy city crossing.
- When Scott is fishing with Daniel, during one shot when he springs a wooden trap to catch a fish, he is wearing a native American outfit similar to Daniel's, whereas in the shot before and after he is wearing his regular blue clothes. He will not put on the Indian garb until the next scene.
- The Firecracker vehicle is not called for in this mission, but it appears in some scenes instead of Shark
- The first time Matt Trakker uses the hang glider function of his Spectrum Mask to float from Thunderhawk to Switchblade, the yellow glowing effects that are supposed to surround him during this activity are missing. When he uses it a second and third time shortly thereafter, the effects do appear.
- When V.E.N.O.M. and M.A.S.K. come face to face and Matt says "You never will, Mayhem", Buddy Hawks is visible even though he wasn't part of the mission at all.
