- Crowning Moment of Heartwarming: As Sam is being taken away by the MPs, the Ragtag Bunch of Misfits who he managed to organize into a half-way decent fighting force say "Senor Axe" and salute him.
- Magnificent Bastard: Surprisingly enough, Sam. The movie ends with not only saving a bunch of civilians and taking down a corrupt Colombian politician, but he manages to manipulate events so that he forces the US Navy to honorably discharge him, give him first class tickets to Miami, a change of clothes and a cold bottle of beer.
- Retroactive Recognition: Pedro Pascal, who played Veracruz, got a lot easier to recognize and more noticeable after playing Oberyn Martell 3 years after this movie came out.
