Factual error: Sergeant Major Dickerson wears his blue infantry cord on his left shoulder. The cord is correctly worn on the right.
Good Morning, Vietnam (1987)
Plot summary
Directed by: Barry Levinson
Starring: Robin Williams, Forest Whitaker, J.T. Walsh
A new disc jockey named Adrian Cronauer (Robin Williams) is shipped from Crete to Vietnam to bring humor to Armed Forces Radio. He turns the studio on it's ear and becomes wildly popular with the troops but runs afoul of the middle management who think he isn't G.I. enough. While he is off the air, he tries to meet Vietnamese especially girls, and begins to have brushes with the real war that never appears on the radio.

Farr: I said, 'Who brought in the fucking gook?"
Adrian: The khaki eclipse. I did. Hey, come on now. If you kick out the gooks, the next thing you have to kick out the chinks, the spics, the spooks, the kikes. Then all you have left in here is a couple of brain-dead rednecks, and what fun would that be?
Trivia: All of Adrian Cronauer's broadcasts were ad-libbed by Robin Williams.
