• The one-sheet (advertising poster) for this movie is a spoof of a frequently used style for movie posters in which, instead of trying to communicate anything about the plot or content of the film, the poster just contains multiple stacked faces of the stars. On this poster, the last face visible in the row is a goat's, and the billing line above their photos reads, "George Clooney, Jeff Bridges, Ewan McGregor, Kevin Spacey, and Goat."
• Movie Goof (continuity error): The name plate on General Hopgood's desk identifies him as Brigadier General F. Hopgood. He is later identified as Dean Hopgood.
• Movie Goof (audio/visual unsynchronized): When the naked Norm Pendlleton is shooting at his fellow soldiers on the courtyard at Ft. Bragg, after each shot a shell casing can distinctively be heard dropping on the tarmac; during the last shot however, Norm is standing on a grass patch, where the falling casing should not be making such a sound.
• Movie Goof (revealing mistake): When Bob and Lyn are driving near the beginning of the film, they pass a sign that says "Baghdad" in English and has the Arabic spelling underneath. The Arabic is written left to right in the film, when the Arabic language actually reads right to left.
