"I always thought 1988 was one of the best years at the cinema (together with 1984, 1990/1991 and 2000). I've seen this movie several times before, but not in a very long time. It's just as good as I remembered, perhaps even more. Excellent semi- autobiography comedy/drama about recruits in boot camp during WWII. Excellent writing by Neil Simon based on his play. Excellent cast - Matthew Broderick, Christopher Walken and many unknown others, all perfect in their roles, even the supporting cast in tiny roles (the girl playing the hooker and Penelope Ann Miller who is damn cute). Good ..."

During an interview, Christopher Walken said he portrayed his somewhat "friendly" demeanor as Sgt. Toomey due to meeting an on-set military consultant who was a "very tough Drill Sgt." But at the same time he also described him as a "very nice, soft-spoken man", who everyone feared, but he didn't have to sound or look fearful. In meeting this man, he decided to incorporate both types of people in his character, which was almost a 180 degree difference from the stage play character Sgt. Toomey.
