    • Trivia
      When O'Neill arrives, the regiment patch on his shoulder reads PPCLI. This stands for the Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry, a real regiment, named for Princess Patricia of Connaught. It originated in Ottawa, Ontario, in August 1914, later based in the area of Edmonton, Alberta, and continues as an active unit as of 2015. The "Patricia's" celebrated their 100th anniversary in 2014.

    • Quotes
      • Maj. Alan Crown: [after the Canadians finished singing a mocking version of 'Yankee Doodle'] Corporal Peacock, your stripes are not a licence to behave like an ass. There will be no more insulting or derogatory remarks about the Yanks, is that clear?
      • Cpl. Wilfrid Peacock: Yes, sir.
      • Cpl. Wilfrid Peacock: [addressing the Canadians] There will be no more insulting or derogatory remarks about the Yanks.
      • Pvt. Hugh MacDonald: Oh, would ordinary insults be acceptable, sir?
    • Crazy credits
      The copyright date in the opening credits is MCMXLVIII, which would be 1948, not 1968, when the film was actually produced.
    • Alternate versions
      The TV version of the film plays with subtitles for the Germans; the video version dosen't include subtitles.
