- Although starring Tim Robbins is a well-known anti-war figure in Hollywood, the film shows a neutral attitude towards war, so the US military graciously helped in the filming of the film.
- Country music trio Dixie Chicks ultimately did not agree to use their six songs on the film's soundtrack. Because they and Lionsgate did not reach an agreement on the division of the film.
- Tim Robbins formed his own band, and during the filming he also played with local bands in bars near the filming location.
- The three actors, Tim Robinson, Rachel McAdams, and Michael Anthony Peña, had to get along day and night during the filming process, because in the film they appeared in almost every shot at the same time, but when they were not filming they also ate and listened to music together. And travel like the people in the show .
