I insisted on watching this movie because of Robin Williams's awesome ventriloquism, but because of the Vietnamese beauty in it.
After watching, I habitually took a look at imdb and got some behind-the-scenes. Now I will share with you:

1. The movie was shot in Thailand, not Vietnam. Most of them were shot in Bangkok. There are actually a few movie shots. Can see the stuff in Thai. The beautiful actress in it is actually a Thai actress. I think she looks a lot like Son Yejin. She looks so good.

2. Contrary to the characters in the movie, the real Adrian Cronauer was not so "comedy and funny" when he was in Vietnam, and he was not kicked back by the army. He left Vietnam because he finished his duties. .

4. Adrian Cronauer said that he was very "anti-war" in the movie, but in fact he was just "anti-stupidity" at the time.
