Continuity mistake: In the scene where Bunny kills the one legged Vietnamese with the butt of his gun, watch the cigarette in Sgt. O'Neill's mouth. In a shot after the kid is dead, the cigarette in O'Neill's mouth is short. When it shows him again, the cigarette has mysteriously grown. (00:50:00)

Barnes: Everybody gotta die sometime, Red.
Trivia: The first time we see Willem Dafoe, he is holding his gun across his shoulders, as if he is holding a cross. Just a preview of his future.
