    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      In the beginning, Eustis Clay is seen admiring a parked sports car. It is a 1963 Shelby Cobra 289 and is now extremely valuable. Only about 75 of this model were made from 1962 to 1963. In just average or good condition, an example cold be worth $775,000 to over $1M in 2025.
    • Goofs
      Sergeant Maxwell Slaughter's decorations indicate he is a combat veteran of two wars. Unless he rose up in ranks within 10 years (this movie's copyright is 1963), his ribbons and awards on his chest do not reflect the two Korean awards he should be wearing: the Korean War Medal for serving within Korea or Korean War Service Medal for serving anywhere during the conflict dates. Additionally, he also should be awarded The United Nations Service Medal for Korea (UNKM).
    • Quotes
      • Bobby Jo Pepperdine: [after Sgt. Slaughter has manhandled an annoying soldier] You know what you were like? You were like Randolph Scott on the late, late movies... A fat Randolph Scott!
      • Slaughter: [Bemused] "A fat Randolph Scott"?... Miss Pepperdine, you certainly have a faculty for searching out and selecting *just* the right compliment.
