* ValuesDissonance: The shot of three naked nine-year-old boys dancing in an outdoor shower with full-frontal nudity being included in the montage was pushing it at the time but nowadays, that sort of thing is flat-out ''illegal'' to even film and the cinematographer would more than likely be accused of pedophilia.

* WindmillCrusader: Dickerson [[spoiler:sets Cronauer up to be killed]], and finally succeeds in getting him discharged from the service and sent back to the States; part of him simply doesn't like Cronauer, but part of him may honestly believe that by getting an irreverent disc jockey off the air, the morale of the entire army will improve and the U.S. will be one step closer to winning the Vietnam War, thanks to him.

** Ed's line suggesting Adrian kill himself rather than deal with his roommate becomes less funny after Creator/RobinWilliams committed suicide.
** In the same scene, Adrian says while impersonating Music/ElvisPresley, "Why don't they get a rope and hang me?!" Yikes.

Veterans and historians would recognize the name Hanoi Hannah as an actual broadcaster who delivered anti-American propaganda screeds on North Vietnamese radio during the war.

* UnintentionallyUnsympathetic: The movie expects us to be on Cronauer's side when he criticises a young Vietnamese boy for joining the Viet Cong, with the boy responding that he wants the US out of his country. The lecture comes off as especially hypocritical given the atrocities the US perpetrated during that war.
