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", whom 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.
Matthew Broderick, Matt Mulhern, and Penelope Ann Miller all reprized their Broadway roles in the film.
Broderick had just completed this film when on a driving vacation in Northern Ireland with then girlfriend Jennifer Grey, they were involved in a head-on collision in which a mother and daughter in the other car died.
The scene in which they go to the prostitute was filmed in Van Buren, Arkansas. Most of the movie was filmed in the neighboring town of Fort Smith, Arkansas at Fort Chaffee.
According to Corey Parker (who played Epstein), "the scariest experience during the shoot" was when Christopher Walken was "plastered" during the filming of "the scene where Walken is supposed to be drunk and is carrying a pistol." His "lines were gone," so a script supervisor had to feed him individual lines.
"Eugene Morris Jerome: Man it's hot. It's like Africa hot. Tarzan couldn't take this kind of hot."
"Sergeant Toomey: Tell me, Jerome, if a piss drunk sergeant has a loaded .45 pointed at the head of a piece of dung that the piss drunk sergeant hates and despises, how would you describe the situation? Eugene Morris Jerome: Delicate. Extremely delicate. Sergeant Toomey: Right. I'll be honest with you, Jerome. It was my intention of getting Epstein in here, and putting this pistol to his ear, and blowing a tunnel through his head. But you'll do just as well. Eugene Morris Jerome: I'm sorry to hear that. Sergeant Toomey: There's something about you New York boys that riles my ass. You don't appreciate the Army, do you? Eugene Morris Jerome: There are some things I like. Sergeant Toomey: Such as? Eugene Morris Jerome: Mail. I like getting my mail. Sergeant Toomey: You shittin' me, Jerome? Eugene Morris Jerome: A piece of dung would never shit a piss drunk sergeant with a loaded .45."
