This episodes title is in reference to the 1992 movie White Men Can't Jump.
This was one of the 48 episodes on which Ernie F. Orsatti served as stunt coordinator, who in doing so worked here for the only time with guest star Felton Perry aside from their appearance in The Towering Inferno (1974) in which they appeared as the two firefighters who climb the stairs to the top of the Glass Tower, with Orsatti's character surviving the mishap with the scenic elevator and Perry according to the script presumably perishing when the exploding water tanks flush him away, although his fate is left unclear from how the scene plays out.
