    • Quotes

      General Streck, German High Command: [talking on the phone] What is the condition of Sergeant Kruger?

      [pause]

      General Streck, German High Command: Very well, let me know if there is any change in his condition.

      [Hangs up]

      General Streck, German High Command: He's dead.

    • Crazy credits
      End credits contain an empty title card that reads: "This Space For Rent."
    • Alternate versions
      Several scenes are in the television version that are not in the video release version:
      • A two scene subplot involving Commandant van Horst's dog.
      • When Nick (Kilmer) spits at General Streck (Kemp) the projectile ricochets off of two walls.
      • In the park, Nick offers Hillary (Gutteridge) a cart of beverages.
      • When Nick and Hillary kiss, breaking the guitar, much of the scene is edited. They roll in front of two buildings and a window overlooking a burning building.
      • Near the end, Cedric (Sharif) crushes Streck in a car as he had been.
    • Connections

    7/10
    One of the funniest movies of the 1980's
    This is absolutely freaking hilarious. Val Kilmer does a bang up job as Nick Rivers in this one. I almost wish they would do a sequel now in 2022 after watching it again and I'm certain that Val Kilmer wouldn't mind.
