Trivia:
Bob Newhart said in an interview that due to the film's ballooning budget, Paramount refused to provide more film stock to the set. The filmmakers ran out of film stock before filming the scripted ending. But the abrupt ending has helped the film gain a cult audience.

Goofs:
Revealing mistakes: When laying out the ammo boxes connected to wires: A) It is night but there are obvious shadows B) The wire reels movement does not correspond to man movement. While moving through rough country, the wire spools unroll rather smoothly. C) When the lines are laid, the hands shaking the wires move only slightly, but the ammo boxes shake wildly.

Quotes:
Pfc. James E. Driscoll:
But Sergeant, you don't understand. I was sent to clerk-typist school. That's all I've ever done in the army was type!
Sgt. Jim Larkin: Man, we're gonna give you on the job training.
Pvt. Dave Corby: What's up, Sergeant?
Sgt. Jim Larkin: Take this man over to that foxhole next to Reese and teach him how to shoot.
Pvt. Dave Corby: [Larkin hands him Driscoll's brand new rifle] With this here? It might get dirty.

In your face WW2 movie that has little compromise in it's depiction of a slice of that war.The screenplay could have been better but still,the production was good enough to give this movie classic status for it's genre.No perfume romantisation here,just plain old battle line warfare and the soldiers who are there to do those hellish things.If you want that kind of action,this movie is for you.Also one of the best movies McQueen ever made........
