A flashback shows young Lana in the backseat of her parents' car after having thrown up on them; the young Lana was modeled after Aisha Tyler, who voices the character. The animation was based on a photo of Tyler in high school, standing next to her science fair project; in fact, a few diagrams from the real project were added to the animated version.
During the car chase, the same green Volkswagen Beetle appears several times in the background. This also happened in Bullitt (1968), to which this chase is an homage.
During the chase scene, while demanding Lana's gun, Archer says "Lana, come on! 'Zona peligrosa'", which loosely translates to 'danger zone', one of Archer's catchphrases.
The font on Krieger's van which says "van" is the same font that the band Rush uses as their logo, one of many references throughout the series showing Krieger's love for the band. The van is also painted to look like Rush's debut album.
Lana Kane's mother's name is Claudette and is voiced by CCH Pounder, who played a character with the same name on FX's The Shield (2002).
