Fun Facts

• The playground where Ponch meets Angela is on Dell Avenue. View on Google Maps

Mistakes

• After Webster's accident, Getraer draws a pretty good map of the area north of the docks on the chalkboard using real road names, but he puts Banning Boulevard between Wilmington and Avalon when it's actually east of Avalon Boulevard.
• The geodesic dome housing the Spruce Goose is missing from the aerial shots of the Queen Mary, indicating that old footage was used.
• If one container of RNI can take out a city block, the final underwater explosion was very small.
