This is the first episode to feature K.I.T.T.'s new dash in the opening titles. KNIGHT OF THE DRONES, like KNIGHT OF THE JUGGERNAUT the following season, concealed the new additions to the car with opening titles exclusive to the episode.
K.I.T.T.'s Turbo Boost over the intersection comes from the episode DIAMONDS AREN'T A GIRL'S BEST FRIEND.
Portions of this show were filmed at The Italian Swiss Colony winery in Asti Ca, with some of the chase scenes filmed on Old Redwood Hwy between Asti and Geyserville.
The so-called "illegal operations" take place at the Monastery of the Grape. To enter one must order a glass of Chateau Neuf du Pape - a French wine in a Californian winery.
Michael's confrontation with Austin was originally much more elaborate, with a planned chase up a hillside, and Austin dropping rocks in Michael's path.
