Trivia
In 2005, Mark Hamill, who portrays PFC Griff, lent his voice talents to the video game "Call Of Duty 2: The Big Red One". Like the film, the game follows the exploits of a squad from "The Big Red One" from North Africa to East Europe. See more »Goofs
Continuity: Griff's dog tags suddenly change positions when he is drawing on the back of the poster. See more »Quotes
