The US Embassy in Beirut was bombed in April 1983, six months before the Marine Barrack, not Army barracks, were bombed. 'Death Before Dishonor' uses these incidents in the same manner the Heartbreak Ridge (1986) used the invasion of Grenada.
The suicide car bombing in this film was probably one out of hundreds of typical incidents in such a troubled spot. Then the abduction of the Colonel (Brian Keith) had a composite incident with the factual abduction of U.S. Marine Lt. Colonel William Richard Higgins during a U.N. peacekeeping mission in 1988. The movie character was rescued, while Higgins was tortured and executed.
The US military in Lebanon aka "Jamal" the event with the suicide car bomber is based on a true event in Beirut 1983 but it was an American army barrack not an American embassy.
Production on the picture was moved from Yugoslavia to Israel where budgetary costs were reportedly much lower.
The film's closing credits give - ''Special Thanks To: "Lt. Colonel Fred Peck and the United States Marine Corps for their cooperation in the making of this motion picture."
"Gunnery Sgt. Burns: Both sides of those rocks. Ruggieri: Why we got to paint both sides of the rocks? James: I don't know. Gunnery Sgt. Burns: You boys ever heard of Korea? James: Yes sir, Gunny. Gunnery Sgt. Burns: Well then you are probably very familar with the conflict at Hill 442. Is that right? Ruggieri: Yes sir. Everyone has heard of that battle. Gunnery Sgt. Burns: And did you know your Colonel is personally responsible for pulling 52 marines off that hill? Alive. Gunnery Sgt. Burns: So don't you think the Colonel deserves to have his rocks painted tops and bottoms? Gunnery Sgt. Burns: Good; paint the rocks."
