* VindicatedByHistory: The film was met with lukewarm reception when it was released (though it was ''not'' a BoxOfficeBomb -- grossing a respectable $97 million worldwide), and Creator/DemiMoore won a [[UsefulNotes/GoldenRaspberryAward Razzie Award]] for it. At the time, she was still reeling from the backlash of ''Film/{{Striptease}}'' and a badly received adaptation of ''Film/{{The Scarlet Letter|1995}}'', so she had developed a sizeable group of detractors. This has levelled off in recent years, and many regard this as one of the finest performances of her career.

* AccidentalAesop: While it's a gender equality Aesop, with a dash of YouGoGirl, the torture scene also perhaps unintentionally highlights that a lot of men will hate seeing the sight of a woman tortured because of internalised beliefs that WomenAreDelicate.

* EndingFatigue: The movie goes on another 45 minutes after the climactic scene with the SERE training and becomes mostly a political story about efforts to frame Jordan for being a suspected lesbian and using it as leverage for base closures. Then there’s the mission in Libya.

Then there’s the mission in Libya. The original script even ended once Jordan survived basic training, with Ridley Scott pushing for her to face real combat at the end, wanting to emulate ''Film/TopGun''.
* RetroactiveRecognition: While Viggo Mortensen was building a high profile as a respected character actor, a few years later, [[Film/TheLordOfTheRings he would be far better known]].
* SugarWiki/SheReallyCanAct: Well not at the time (see below), but these days people often hold this up as one of Demi Moore's finest moments as an actress.

* UnintentionalPeriodPiece: At one point in the film, the press tries to discredit Jordan on trumped-up charges that she is a lesbian and fraternising with women. This references the army's Don't Ask, Don't Tell policy that existed until 2011 -- which meant that gays in the military couldn't be discriminated against as long as they were closeted. If Jordan had been fraternising, she would have broken the law.

It goes hand in hand with ValuesDissonance, where being known to be gay or even AmbiguouslyGay could make someone an outcast before the 2010s.
