To research his character, Damon Wayans endured several weeks of DI qualification training, learning the requirements of a Marine Corps Drill Instructor, as well as other aspects of Marine Corps training. Viewers can see several small things he does like the cadence of his walk, almost unconsciously correcting his cover after berating & getting in the face of each cadet, and the list goes on. A common sentiment among former DI's, not only in the Marines, but in all other branches, is their statement that one most be akin to an improvisational or stand-up comedian as a DI, since they constantly have to improvise on the spot, break down the cadets, come up with statements on the fly, and Wayans' prior experience as one was a huge asset.
In the scene when Major Payne ( Wayans) first meets the cadets, he screams at one of them saying "I am not your damned brother" in fact, he's his uncle in real life. The cadet's real name is Damien Dante Wayans.
Filmed at the same location as the 1991 film "Toy Soldiers".
Despite the campy portrayal of Major Payne, his uniform shows the Scuba Diving Badge and Parachutist Badge. In the US Marine Corps, this almost certainly means that Payne came from an elite Marine Reconnaissance or Force Reconnaissance unit which would certainly justify his war grizzled character. Until the recent formation of the Marine Raider Regiment (itself formed by former Force Recon operators), Marine Force Recon was considered the very tip of the spear when it comes to the Marines' combat fighting elite.
In one scene, Major Payne tells the children, "Now apparently, what we have here, is a failure to communicate!" This is a famous quote taken from the movie Cool Hand Luke
"Major Payne: Boy, I am two seconds from being on you like white on rice in a glass of milk on a paper plate in a snowstorm. I'm gonna put my foot so far up your ass, the water on my knee will quench your thirst. Alex Stone: Try it."
"Emily: [She and Tiger enter Major Payne's office] Apparently he had a little accident. Major Payne: Apparently he pissed all over the front of his pants. Emily: Well maybe that's because he's six. Major Payne: Because he's six? Woman, when I was six years old I had a full time job."
