Gunnery Seargant Thomas Highway: The United States Marines is lookin' for a few good men - and you ain't it.

At the end of the movie when Gunny Highway and his men land at what is supposed to be Cherry Point, the band playing the music should be the 2nd Marine Division band, but is in fact the 1st Marine Division band as can be seen by the 1st Marine Division insignia on the drummer's drum. See more...

As the recon platoon is heading toward their "ambush" of Major Powers and 1st platoon, Highway tells Jones to "unsling those rifles, and you're making too much noise." Jones starts to unthread his rifle sling from the buckle in order to remove the sling from his rifle. Anyone familiar with the manual of arms (which includes ANYONE who has ever graduated from USMC basic training) knows that to "unsling" a rifle means to take it off your shoulder (from a slung position) and carry it in your hands, ready to use. [Not necessarily, I was in the Infantry and we "unslung" and taped our rifles to keep from making too much noise.]

When Highway beats up the Swede, Swede tells Highway "I'll wait outside for the M.P.s, sir". On a Marine base such as Camp Lejeune, the police authority would be the Shore Patrol(S.P.s) not the Army's Military Police, and anyone who's been in the brig as often as The Swede would know that. [Not sure about 1983, but the MP's are called that, either Military Police or Provost Marshal's Office. MP/PMO. Ran into plenty of them. There are shore patrol, but they would not be taking care of this kind of problem.]

In the movie, after the invasion of Grenada, when Clint Eastwood is directing Mario Van Peebles to get on the bulldozer, he is seen moving the selector on his M16 from "safe" to "auto". Just after Van Peebles gets on the bulldozer, he again moves the selector from "safe" to "auto". [Many special forces personnel do this at regular intervals as a form of reassurance (check out Andy Mcnabs "Immediate Action" autobiography for a far better and first-person explanation).]
