- Complete Monster: The Vietnamese captors, but also the Frenchman.
- Crowning Music of Awesome: In addition to the guys singing "Can't Take My Eyes Off You", there's also Cavatina.
- Funny Aneurysm Moment: John Cazale was diagnosed with terminal cancer just as filming was about to begin; this makes his presence at the funeral scene all the more morbid.
- It Gets Better: The opening scene at the wedding is extremely long and torturous, but once the war actually happens things really start to get interesting.
- Kick the Dog: In the first war scene, a Viet Cong soldier slaughters a bunker full of Vietnamese civilians and then shoots a pregnant woman and her child. Michael avenges her by burning him alive with a flamethrower.
- Memetic Mutation: "Mau! Ði đi mau!"
