1* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic:
2** While most of the film's score is rather hit-and-miss within its intended context, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VdplpCUdLvI "In The Jungle"]] does a pretty good job of capturing the tense atmosphere of a UsefulNotes/VietnamWar battlefield.
3** Although it doesn't really fit the film's grim tone, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rxPkVmAfsfI "Frankie Walks the Walk"]] is quite catchy out of context, sounding a bit like something out of an [[Platform/SuperNintendoEntertainmentSystem SNES]] game.
4* RetroactiveRecognition: Lead actor and composer Rick Giovinazzo would later go on to work as an orchestrator for films like ''Film/{{Inception}}'', ''Film/{{Battleship}}'', and ''WesternAnimation/DespicableMe1''.
5* TooBleakStoppedCaring: As dark as similar psycho-dramas such as ''Film/{{Eraserhead}}'', ''Film/TaxiDriver'', and ''Film/TheDeerHunter'' were, they still offered interesting, complex characters and/or masterful cinematic technique. ''Combat Shock'' lacked these qualities, and the intensely grim setting and self-seriousness gave the film an outright nihilistic tone.
