Behind the scenes
The episode is dedicated to Japanese filmmaker Akira Kurosawa, the director, producer, and co-writer of such films as The Hidden Fortress and Seven Samurai.

Hondo's line "But, you know what I always say - Speak softly and drive a big tank" recalls the similar phrase popularised by President Theodore Roosevelt; "Speak softly and carry a big stick."

Like Senate Murders and Cat and Mouse, Bounty Hunters was shown in Canada and the UK one week before it aired in the United States.
