Near the end of the film, the phonetic alphabet phrase "Alpha Mike Foxtrot" is spoken over the radio. This is an abbreviation for "Adios Motherfucker", which is said over the radio by downed aircrews, when they know death or capture is imminent.
Ed O'Neill was originally cast in this movie, but test audiences started laughing when his character first appeared onscreen as they still thought of him as Al Bundy in Married... with Children (1987), so the part had to be re-cast with a different actor and the scenes were re-shot.
Basil Poledouris had originally been scheduled to score Dances with Wolves (1990), but reluctantly dropped out to score this film for his close friend John Milius, with extremely damaging results to his career when he found himself suddenly unemployable at any studio making a picture with Kevin Costner. To make matters worse, the film's release was delayed by nearly two years, so he could have easily had time to score both films.
While filming on the U.S.S. Independence CV-62 in November 1989, the crew kept the on-board fire party busy, with numerous small electrical fires they started with their lighting equipment.
John Milius stated that making this film was one of the worst experiences he had.
"[at the bar in Po city] Lt. Jake Grafton: "Fighter pukes make movies. Bomber pilots make... HISTORY!""
"Lt. Grafton: Well, this is the end of Devil Five- O - Five. Say goodbye, asshole! Eject, eject, eject! Cole: Goodbye Asshole! Cole: [Cole and Grafton punch out]"
