# 216 <9.11> Time Bomb
Season time frame: This episode continues where # 215 left off because Danny and Michael come back to Sharpe's office early in the morning after they left it late at night at the end of # 215. Product placement: Jason Sampson mentions a Rolex watch. Fictional entity: Pickett Plaza, another investment project, is mentioned.
 Lauren's new car is a red 1989 Ford Aerostar van.The filming location for the La Serre restaurant in Tuscany is what used to be the actual restaurant by the same name on Ventura Boulevard in Studio City, CA. The restaurant closed in 1991; nowadays, the building houses a different restaurant.
Inside joke: The character of Jovan Dmytryk, the chess champion of Yugoslavia, is named after MICHAEL DMYTRYK, the show's first assistant director.   Jovan's suite at the Del Oro is basically the same interior set as the one used for Jane Callendar's room in Betsy's Motel in # 206, for Emma's Del Oro suite in # 207 and for Sydney and Ian's Falcon Crest Victorian Mansion guest bedroom in # 212 (see there). Only slight changes (repaint and new furniture as well as adding the same fireplace element that was in use for the season 8 Del Oro suite sets) were made for budgetary reasons.
Richard buys Jace out for $ 250,000 although his interest in the firm is worth $ 2.5 million.   In contrast to the previous episodes for which scenes in the Daniels' living room were also photographed at the usual filming location in Topanga Canyon (screen capture 1 from # 208), the interiors of the house in this episode are a set replicated on a sound stage at CBS-MTM STUDIOS (RADFORD STUDIO CENTER). Particularly due to the special effects in connection with Walker's gunshots, a set had to be built. The interior set was built very accurately to resemble the actual home (screen grab 2 photographed from across). The set can only be recognized by the slightly different dimensions of the logs. Also, the wood burner in the corner was not replicated in the set, which is why filming that area was avoided.Product placement: Sharpe mentions Tupperware, the kitchen supply company.
Fictional entity: Dynacorp is one of Sharpe's subsidiaries.
Mistake: When Walker looks at the timer to check how much time he has left until the bomb goes off, it says 33 seconds. But the screen time does not match this time frame: 42 seconds will go by until the bomb really explodes. The original bible for season 9 planned for Walker to move away rather than dying. ← Previous episode... → Next episode... |
