    • 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.

    I don't understand...
    It's so stupid it's hilarious. My husband and I were laughing nearly the entire movie and I found myself repeating, "What is even happening?!" over and over. But yet...it's somehow incredibly entertaining.
