There are two film adaptations (one of which starring Bonvi himself) which, however, weren't well received at all by everyone.

 

* [[Afraid of Blood]]: Sadly enough the Medic.

* [[The Alcoholic]]: The drunken captain (implied to be a sort of [[Author Avatar]]). To the point that when he's mortally wounded the blood from his wounds emit a strong smell of Alcohol.

* [[Lean and Mean]]: The Captain, the Medic and all the other officers.

* [[Lethal Chef]]: The Cook. One simple yet effective example is found in his spaghetti, which apparently can move on their own and maul soldiers.

* [[Lovable Coward]]: The Proud Ally Galeazzo Musolesi of San Giovanni in Persiceto, a parody of fascists, will shit himself, duck for cover, tremble in fear and faint at the minimum danger.

* [[Mad Scientist]]: The Medic believes to have discovered the Invisibility Elixir without going mad. Is actually the other way around.

* [[Only Sane Man]]: The Captain.

* [[Only Six Faces]]: Done on purpose. All the soldiers looks the same (except for some "veterans" who have traces of beard), the Sergeant and the Cook looks like slightly bigger soldiers and the other officers are pretty much alike, except for the uniforms and the nose shape.

* [[The Pig Pen]]: The Sergeant can boast about having 6-7 pounds of dirt and filth on his body, forming a sort of natural armor against splinters and projectiles. Another example is how they used sandpaper and ''industrial acids'' just to wash him. And that's for the outer layers.

* [[Reckless Gun Usage]]: In an interesting variation: "Air-Headed" Franz wields his gun with the [[Bayonet Ya|baionet]] mounted, and often ends up [[Eye Scream|stabbing eyes]] and ripping ears by accident.

* [[Right Behind Me]]: There's one strip where the Captain calls the General (who was supposed to assist to the execution) an old moron, and the General is right behind him with an anrgy frown on his face.

* [[Shot At Dawn]]: There are some strips that have this outcome, plus the hilarious subplot about the Firing Squad.

* [[Shown Their Work]]: Bonvi fought in war, and he did a good job at representing uniforms, machines and weapons.

* [[Tanks for Nothing]]: Tanks are often played for laughs as they fall apart, run out of gasoline and fall into pits of various kinds. The few time they're efficient they'll end up running over their own soldiers.

* [[Take That]]: Against the Army and the concept of [[War Is Glorious]] and many other things. See the description above for more details.

* [[Teeth-Clenched Teamwork]]: Galeazzo Musolesi and the Ally of the Rising Sun.

* [[Those Two Bad Guys]]: The 27th Armoured Battalion (of Discipline), two rough veterans who can force the Sergeant to crawl around squirming and get away with that.
