Summary
Tidbits
Showdown is described as "a new western", but appears in black and white on the movie screen. This can be explained, however, in one of two ways: in the modern world, anything made since 994 would seem new to the gargoyles (in "Enter Macbeth", Lexington would refer to Shakespeare as "some new writer"), or, alternately, the production team for "Deadly Force" might have imagined "Showdown" as having been deliberately shot in black-and-white for artistic effect.
Bruno, the leader of Xanatos's commandoes in "Awakening", gets a brief cameo as the head of Xanatos's security team in the opening scene.
Matt Bluestone is introduced in a non-speaking role, serving as Captain Chavez's driver during her pursuit of Tony Dracon.
It is in "Deadly Force" that we first learn about Elisa's family background, as part Native American, part African-American - a background that was inspired by that of her voice actress, Salli Richardson. (Salli's physical appearance also strongly influenced Elisa's character design.)
Owen, when reporting that the stolen particle beam accelerators were produced in various "power ranges" pronounces the latter word in such a way as to sound strongly evocative of a certain competitor to "Gargoyles" (and one which helped kill it in the ratings wars, alas), in a negative way.
Peter and Diane Maza, Elisa's parents, were named after Peter Morwood and Diane Duane, two of the writers on the "Gargoyles" production team.
