* In the original 1942 film, there's a hilarious moment where Greenberg tells the [[LargeHam very hammy Ravitch]], ''"What you are, I could not eat."''
* Towards the end of the film when the Poles have fled to England and parachuted from their plane, Bronski (still disguised as Hitler) comes out of a haystack before two stunned Britons. One comments to his friend, ''"First it was Hess -- now him!"''[[note]]Rudolf Hess had made a still-somewhat-mysterious flight to England in 1941 (the most-accepted explanation is that he had gotten into the belief that he could broker peace between England and Germany) and ended up becoming the highest-ranking German POW of the war (until Goering was captured at its conclusion)[[/note]]
* In the remake, Bronski (still disguised as Hitler), strolls into an English pub.
-->'''Bronski:''' Excuse me, is this England?
-->'''Waitress: ''Oh my GOD!'''''
* Also from the remake, the multiplying Jewish refugees.
-->'''Bronski:''' Are they Jews or rabbits?!
* Bronski gets in bed with Sobinsky, and snuggles with him.
-->'''Bronski:''' You need a coat, you need a dress, you need shoes... and you need a shave. ''({{beat}})'' '''''A shave?!'''''
* "For the purposes of clarity and sanity, the remainder of this film will NOT be in Polish!"
* The original film starts with the shocking sight of Hitler himself walking down the streets of Warsaw. After what seems like the whole movie will be a HowWeGotHere for it, it turns out Bronski simply went outside to prove how convincing he is as Hitler. And then a little girl asks for his autograph.
* Bronski in the 1942 film had a habit of being this playing Hitler even though he didn't really fall into AdolfHitlarious. Near the end, as the escapees have [[CrazyEnoughToWork stolen Hitler's personal plane]], Lt. Sobinski asks the Luftwaffe pilots to come back to the cabin for a chat with Der Fuehrer. Bronsky [[CaptainObvious still dressed as Hitler]], stands, stone-faced, next to an open hatch in the fuselage. He gestures, and [[note]][[BlackComedy remember they're at altitude at this point]][[/note]] merely says "jump". The two shout "Heil Hitler" and jump out of the plane ''without parachutes''. Bronski, astonished at their suicidal loyalty looks out the open hatch and remarks "[[BondOneLiner Two very obliging fellows.]]"
