As well as featuring past Bond actor George Lazenby, the film also features two actors who would later appear in Bond films: Patrick MacNee (Tibbet in A View to a Kill (1985)) and Anthony Zerbe (Milton Krest in Licence to Kill (1989)).
-
The final fight scene at Thrush's new headquarters inside the dam is very reminiscence of the final fight scene in Goldfinger (1964).
-
Gerald Fried was hired to score the production, without the production team being aware he had scored the majority of the original series.
-
During the car chase, Markovitch remarked that the chase reminds her of the film Bullitt (1968) to which Napoleon Solo replies that he remembered the said film. Robert Vaughn, who played Napoleon Solo also appeared on Bullitt.
-
Even though Leo G. Carroll, who played U.N.C.L.E. boss Alexander Waverly in the T.V. series, passed away in 1972 he still makes an appearance in this movie. His photograph can be clearly seen sitting on a table behind behind the desk of U.N.C.L.E. receptionist Ms. Friday.
-
George Lazenby's character "JB" was intended to be James Bond, and a nod to Ian Fleming, who helped in the creation of the original The Man from U.N.C.L.E. (1964). Legal concerns resulted in explicit references to Bond being dropped, though there was little doubt who the character was supposed to be. A female character, on seeing "JB," says "it's just like Her Majesty's Secret Service," a reference to the Bond film that starred George Lazenby.
-
When they were filming this reunion movie, both lead actors were asked how the success of the original show affected their careers. David McCallum said that he was often typecast and found it difficult to play other types of roles, Robert Vaughn said in his case the opposite was true, he played nothing but villains after the series ended.
-
The "J.B." character played by George Lazenby, like James Bond, drives an Aston Martin DB5, and with a license plate saying JB.
-
Another reference to Ian Fleming's James Bond series: U.N.C.L.E. now has a special equipment section headed by "Z", an obvious nod to "Q" in the Bond movies.
-
Gerald Fried's score contains a pastiche of 'The James Bond Theme' from James Bond film series when George Lazenby's character 'JB' makes his appearance. George Lazenby had played James Bond in the 1969 official production On Her Majesty's Secret Service.
-
Rather than build a set for the UNCLE headquarters, the production used the office building of the production company. This was to save money on building that would not get enough usage if the pilot did not 'go to series', which is exactly what did happen.
-
Yet another nod to Ian Fleming: Solo's introduction in this film is nearly identical to Bond's introduction in the first Bond movie Dr. No (1962).
-
The appearance of the "JB" character played by George Lazenby is also a sort of circular reference. The character of Napoleon Solo originally appeared as an American agent in Goldfinger [he died], and the name was later used for the U.N.C.L.E. character with Bond creator Ian Fleming's permission.
