Line 3:
* [[Enforced Method Acting]]: While shooting the boot camp scenes, director Ivan Reitman secretly told the actors as recruits to drag actor Warren Oates (Hulka) into the mud with them. Oates ended up chipping a tooth, and upon learning Reitman manipulated the whole thing, furiously [[What the Hell, Hero?|chewed him out]]. Since then, Reitman has never used enforced method acting in his films.
* [[Hey, It's That Guy!]]: Joe Flaherty is one of the Czech border guards.
* [[Star-Making Role]]: Warren Oates, despite a long career in film prior. He died a year after the film's release, making two films that were released posthumously.
** This was also the film debut of [[Harold Ramis]], who would later play Egon in ''[[Ghostbusters]]''.
* [[Unintentional Period Piece]]: Besides the [[Cold War]] setting, John and Russell are asked by an army recruiter whether either of them are homosexual, which points itself to pre-1994, before "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" first allowed LGBT people to serve in the military.
** Even more [[Hilarious in Hindsight]], since they are "willing to learn."
