    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      US Marine and Navy units participated in the filming of this movie and after their work was finished, they went to fight in Korea.
    • Goofs
      While speaking to his superiors on his walkie-talkie, Lt Anderson twice closes his conversation with "Over and out." This is incorrect. He should have said either "Over" (if he was turning the conversation over to the other speaker), or "Out" (if he was ending the talk). Interestingly, Anderson uses the correct term "Out" later in the film.
    • Quotes
      • Sgt. Randolph Johnson: Wasn't there a comment by your General Sherman about war?
      • Lt. Butterfield: Yeah, he said, "War is Hell." What did he know, that eight-ball never left the States.
    • Crazy credits
      Current prints open with the mid 1980's 20th Century Fox logo.
