Trivia
Clooney, a notorious prankster, played a prank on Nora Dunn by putting an apple on the antenna of a Humvee and catapulting it, hitting her on the forehead. The only cast member Clooney did not prank was Ice Cube saying, "Cube's not gonna take it. He doesn't have to. He's from South Central." See more »Goofs
Continuity: The way "Chief" (Elgin) and Conrad are holding hands changes from shot to shot. See more »Quotes
