MacGyver is supposed to be in Switzerland, yet when he enters the Boathouse there is a rolled up Canadian Flag at the ceiling and the signs on the wall are on english.

Given that the school appears to be an English-speaking school for the children of wealthy expats, I'm not sure that one holds a lot of water. But it would have been better if the signs had at least been multilingual.

I think when the bad guy looks through the window that he would have seen the girls head when she was looking out the window of the boat house. I mean her head was half sticking up

when we see lisa going up to the house there are several swiss cops searching the grounds. when mac goes running to the boathouse he is in the open clearing for a very long time with no cover he would surely be spotted by one of the swiss cops.

when macgyver runs to the boathouse from the clearing we can see he runs only a short distance yet when lisa is running back to the boathouse while being chased she has to run a much further distance including going through a fence and a much more heavily dense area we havent seen before.

when mac is riding the motorcycle across the street and up the dirt path there is a profile shot and you can clearly see that it is RDAs stuntdouble riding the motorcycle. Unusual since RDA did most of his own stunts and he was a very expericied motorcycle rider that his stuntdouble would be tapped to ride a motorcyle up a dirtpath which is a relatively easy stunt.

when the bomb explodes its obviously a computer added special effect. If you watch closely you can see that it even envelopes RDA yet you can still see through it.

They didn't use computer added special effects back then for TV shows because they where WAY to expensive and slow. laugh.gif

but it could well have been an optical effect.

Every time I see this one, it makes me grin, because it's such a nice continuity mistake:
as the sniper prepares his shot, the space for bullets in the lid of his case is empty.
later on, when Mac is recovering from being knocked out, the bullets are there.

I actually just saw The Wall episode but since the sixth season opening has some new footage including Mac dropping himself on the cable car from this episode I'd like to point out that on the moment he drops there appears to be cables attached to Mac. Or should I say Mac's stunt double. You have to look good, pause it even but the cables are visible around Mac's body. These are most likely safety cables, in case the stuntdouble missed the target from dropping on the cable so that he wouldn't plunge to a certain death.

You know on this episode MacGyver gets shot, but he doesn't act like it! I don't think that a person that just got shot would act like he did.

That has to do with the distance the girl is from the gondola, the angle of her perspective, the elevation difference and resulting barametric pressure variance between the girl and the gondola and the . . . oh nevermind. wink.gif tongue.gif happy.gif

You know on this episode MacGyver gets shot, but he doesn't act like it! I don't think that a person that just got shot would act like he did.

There is quite a distance between him and the shooter. So the bullet probably just grazed him. There is also no mention of a bullet being in his body when he was taking care of his wounds. So it didn't seem that bad.

However you are right after he took care of his wounds, the gunshot didn't seem to bother him at all. This was different in Back From The Dead, Humanity and Trail of Tears where you can see him in pain throughout the episode. Even stronger is that in Trail of Tears Mac actually spends a night in the woods. Of course some Indian magic and the first aid kit from the store around the next tree is always helpful.

I think the idea was more to see a dirty, sweaty Mac with messed up hair running through the forest and the wound was supposed to spice it up. However more episodes are made like this.

The explosion is indeed cheesy. But I think it was considered too risky since it was filmed on location to use an actual explosive. Your star is hanging on the gondola cutting away the device which is supposed to explode underneath him. You never know how high the flames might rise with him above it. Can't have your star being consumed by the fire.

Would be a great news article though.

'Lead actor Richard Dean Anderson dies a spectacular death on MacGyver. In upcoming episode Cease Fire MacGyver sets out to rescue the President of Samadia. A bomb is attached to the gondola that takes the President to a peace summit. While trying to cut away the bomb with a Swiss Army Knife the bomb explodes on the way down killing the lead actor of the show in a mushroom cloud. Talk about being consumed by your work.' biggrin.gif
