Trivia[]
- An early draft of the script for this episode was titled "Honeymoon at Ground Zero"...partly to avoid confusion with "The Wedding", another two-hour WTR movie covering similar turf. "H@GZ" found Alex and Walker vacationing in Venice, Italy, rather than Paris; both find themselves trapped on a jetboat, hurtling through the labyrinth of canals, rigged with a 1-megaton thermonuclear bomb which will go off should the boat's velocity drop below 70 kph. And so, thrust into a situation where all his karate skills are useless, Walker and Alex must pool their wits and resources to save not only themselves but also the whole city. Did somebody mention Speed? Presumably so, because all of this was eliminated in rewrites.[1]
