This episode features the most dramatic scene of the entire series. All the comedic atmosphere briefly ceases as Kincaid informs the castaways that he is going to hunt one of them.
The plot is reminiscent of Richard Connell's " The Most Dangerous Game".
Harold Sakata (Ramoo) Is best known for playing the mute chauffeur/assassin 'Oddjob' in "Goldfinger" (1964).
This is one of the most serious and suspenseful episodes of the entire series. It carries a more ominous tone than any other, due to the fact that a human being is being hunted in such cold malice.
This is the second time Ginger Grant compares Mary Ann Summers to Mary Poppins. The first time is in Topsy-Turvy and here in The Hunter. This an allusion to P. L. Travers' book series Mary Poppins. It is also an allusion to the Julie Andrews film version, which was released in 1964. Mary Poppins was always optimistic, cheery, and positive in her outlook.
