Yes. Cordova would have slept right through the helijet attack. Of course he would have. :)

I think Cordova would have seen the waiter in that locker.
But then why didn’t the waiter try and jump out when Joe opened it or even bang on the door when it was closed?

This is listed as being the very last of the production order, yet when Dorina Cordova exclaims that her "cousin" is only ten, he says "Nine, actually."

General Valdes' eyes almost matched his skin tones, giving him a very weird effect.

How could anyone think that that exploding balcony could be anything but sabotage?

How long has Valdes been plotting against Juan Cordova? Garancia has been working for the Cordovas, pretending to be deaf and dumb, for two years.

Leaping out of a speeding car seems to be a fair way of committing suicide.

Best line honors go to Sam Loover. After Mac told him, "I think that's what they call blinding them with science, Sam," Sam answered, "Ah, you're getting to be as bad as Shane Weston, Mac." Beautiful!

So what was Joe drinking prior to having the lemonade? A Shirley Temple? And could someone explain the "danger" of drinking different drinks at one sitting? I'm presuming that the idea actually applies to alcoholic drinks.

I do hope that Joe poured away Juan Cordova's drink, or took it to be analyzed later, rather than leaving it for some hapless waiter to perhaps sample.

Juan apparently forgot that he offered to teach Joe how to ski.

Why did Joe leave the waiter in Cordova's room? Why not drag him into his own room, which seemed to be adjoining Cordova's? And where was Mrs. Cordova? I know that they use separate beds for married couples in these shows, but separate rooms?

They seem to have rather wimpy air tanks in the future. Joe's only been down 20 minutes, and Mac seems to think that he's on the verge of suffocating.

Did Joe rescue the other man that he knocked out underwater, or did he leave him to drown?

Apparently they deleted a scene at the end, where Valdes attempted to escape and was cornered by Joe and Sam. Too bad.

Usually, they give the name of the person whose brain patterns are being used. Here, they just said that it was one of WIN's best agents. In the biography section of my disc, they describe Sam Loover as WIN's "top agent". Hmmmmm....

Joe seemed to take a rather long time to bring the car under control after the driver bailed out, but of course he had to allow for a difference in size.

Just how long were they up at the hotel? It seemed as though they had just been there a day, but the following morning Cordova said something like, "For the last day, I'm going to fish."

Like any good agent, Joe plays dirty when he has to. Underwater, when he aimed his little transportation whatchamacallit at the man shooting at him, it hit the man a rather nasty blow below the belt. No wonder that he was out for the rest of the fight sequence!
