The Hitler-like figure in this episode is named Schick. The real Adolf Hitler's father was born with the last name Schicklgruber, which was long rumored to be Adolf's true surname.
Cleavant Derricks named this episode as his favorite and added that he was glad to "express myself as an actor on an issue that is close to a lot of us at this time."
One of the magazine covers on the news stand has the poster art for "Face/Off" (1997).
