    Edit
    • Trivia
      The songs that Val Kilmer sings in the film are actually performed by him and were featured on the film's soundtrack released in 1984 under Kilmer's character's name Nick Rivers.
    • Goofs
      Nick puts the 20th tally on the jail cell wall representing his 20th minute in jail. In the next shot, the wall doesn't show any tally marks.
    • 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.

    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.
