* MsFanservice: Kelly (stunning former model Carol Alt) is a hardnosed businesswoman who spends the majority of her time walking around in skimpy bikini, as do the endless supply of "beach bunnies" who flock around the resort. When the recurring character of Alison (Playboy Playmate Heidi Mark) first shows up she wears a risque schoolgirl uniform (as she IS a schoolgirl) which she strips off for a swim revealing a pink string micro-bikini.

* FakeUltimateHero: What Edward considers himself when he's to be honored by the Queen. He confesses to Spencer he's "a fraud" as he's being honored for how, in World War II, he was the one man on a decoy boat to lure away a German sub and hit it. However, Edward confesses that thinking it was a suicide mission, he got "dead drunk" and passed out behind an iron bulkhead which spared him any damage. But subverted at the end of the episode as Spencer reveals the report from the German commander that Edward spent ''two hours'' holding off the enemy vessel, running from deck gun and back in an erratic pattern the Germans couldn't understand. Edward is amazed he can't remember any of it but grateful to realize he really did earn the medal.

Ex-Navy SEALS Randolph J. "Hurricane" Spencer (played by Wrestling/HulkHogan) and Martin "Bru" Brubaker (played by Chris Lemmon, son of Jack Lemmon) use a [[CoolBoat super-powered transforming powerboat]] (the CG was just about cool enough for them to use it on the opening titles) to fight crime at sea, ''Series/KnightRider'' style. It worked surprisingly well, really, possibly due to the catchy theme tune.
