Line 4:
* [[Hey, It's That Guy!]]: ''[[Star Trek: Deep Space Nine]]'' fans are often surprised to see Odo as Father "Dago Red" Mulcahy. Private Boone is [[Harold and Maude|Harold]]. Also, the [[N-Word Privileges|infelicitously-named]] "Spearchucker" will survive the war, but meet his doom in [[From Dusk till Dawn|a titty bar in Mexico]].
** Duke later went on to [[Alien|command a space mining ship]] and train [[Top Gun|Navy fighter pilots.]]
* [[Memetic Mutation]]: "We're the Pros from Dover." This line, carried over from the novel, was simply a smart-ass remark in which Hawkeye and Duke compared themselves to golf pros when showing up for an operation with their clubs. Movie-goers thought it was some kind of reference or code-phrase they didn't understand, and started using it to refer to any outside specialists brought in to handle an important job. Today, people use the phrase in this way without ever realizing it came from the movie.
* [[Throw It In]]: During the opening credits a medic stumbles and falls on his ass while carrying a wounded soldier from the chopper pad. This was a real, unscripted accident during filming and was something that likely happened a lot in real life due to the inhospitable terrain where mobile hospitals had to be set up.
