Continuity mistake: When Cronauer first goes with Tuan to see the Vietnamese village, he is wearing a white shirt. In a subsequent shot, the shirt is plaid.

Trivia: This film is based on Pentagon lawyer Adrian Cronauer's life as a DJ during the Vietnam War. He is worked in the Pentagon in its MIA/POW office until his death on July 18, 2018.
Trivia: All of Adrian Cronauer's broadcasts were ad-libbed by Robin Williams.
Adrian Cronauer: You are in more dire need of a blowjob than any white man in history.
Adrian Cronauer: Goooooooood morning Vietnam! It's 0600 hours. What does the "O" stand for? O my God, it's early! Speaking of early, let's hear it for that Marty Lee Drywitz. Silky smooth sounds, making me sound like Peggy Lee...
Farr: I said, 'Who brought in the fucking gook?"
Adrian: The khaki eclipse. I did. Hey, come on now. If you kick out the gooks, the next thing you have to kick out the chinks, the spics, the spooks, the kikes. Then all you have left in here is a couple of brain-dead rednecks, and what fun would that be?
