** The EM-50 is made of a GMC motorhome, produced between 1973 and 1978. In a film made in 1981 it was still new enough to not raise eyebrows, but as time marches on it would either need to be made on a newer motorhome frame for ProductPlacement or figure out a good enough {{Handwave}}.

* UnintentionalPeriodPiece:
** Besides the UsefulNotes/ColdWar setting, during the scene at the Army recruiting center, John and Russell are specifically asked whether either one is homosexual, which points itself to pre-1994, before "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" first allowed LGBT people into the military.
** The film's irreverent look at the military is a product of being set during the Cold War, when conventional warfare was considered a bit beside the point when nuclear weapons are the most likely result of a major war. Once UsefulNotes/TheWarOnTerror began, audiences would never believe that two losers would join the military expecting to slack off.
** The use of OG-107 uniforms pinpoints the film to the early '80s at the latest. The Woodland pattern BDU was introduced in 1982 and replaced the OG-107 (which had been in use since the Korean War) in active/deploying units, fully replacing it in all elements by 1988.
