Trivia: Gordon Douglas, who later directed the 1940 Laurel and Hardy film "Saps at Sea", makes a cameo as a Ford Arid Legionnaire.
Trivia: In 1992, seven days after celebrating his hundredth birthday, producer Hal Roach appeared as a guest on The Tonight Show, where Jay Leno was filling in for host Johnny Carson. When Leno asked Roach which of all the movies he had made was his own favourite, he selected Beau Hunks, mainly because Jean Harlow - who had started at Roach's studio but went on to become a star at MGM - appeared in this movie for nothing. Harlow's appearance in the movie was only through old publicity photographs she had made for the Roach studio.
