Trivia

• The intro scene of this episode is very similar to a scene in Justice League animated series as both features an old west version of the show's theme song. Coincidentally, both episodes also features Jonah Hex.
• Rip needs to travel 200 years into the past before he can feel any side-effects from time travel.
• Mick no longer suffers side-effects, due to his time as Chronos.
• Snart experiences lyngustic displasia - speaking words in the wrong order - after time travel.
  • Felicity Smoak has the same problem on her first time travel trip.
• Snart still has the bruises from his fight with Mick, but they are healed in the next episode.
• During the bar fight, the Wilhelm Scream can be heard.
• Rip explains that he once had the same problem Sara had the previous episode; he grew so accustomed to a foreign time period, that he almost forgot who he truly was.
• The city of Salvation has a history with Jonah Hex in the comics.
• The title of this episode is a reference to the 1960 Western film The Magnificent Seven.
• Ray Palmer uses the alias "John Wayne", a famous Western actor.
• The store "Kubert's Barbershop" is referencing the famous Kubert family of comic book artists.
• Rip mentions the comic book villain Quentin Turnbull destroying the city of Calvert.
• Hawkgirl meets her Old West counterpart, who mentions that Hawkman's counterpart was her husband Hannibal Hawkes. In the comics these characters were Cinnamon and Nighthawk.
• Kendra learns that her reincarnation cycle is cursed; she is doomed to only ever be with Prince Khufu in every life. If she attempts to be with someone else, it will either end with heartbreak (like with Cisco and Ray) or tragedy.
• Martin saves H. G. Wells, a writer who later becomes famous for writing the sci-fi novel The Time Machine.
  • Had he listened to Rip and not saved the boy's life, the entire future of the human race could have been radically altered without Wells' book "The Time Machine".
• In the comics, Pilgrim is a member of the Wildstorm team Wetworks.
