What's left behind the scenes
- In this film, the character played by Errol Flynn first pulls the pin from a grenade with his teeth.
- Representatives of the Merrill's Marauders special forces unit, who were present on the set, objected to the fact that Nelson's men instantly killed all the Japanese soldiers near the radar installation. This was done (included in the script) most likely deliberately, because all the survivors would have had to be executed by the same special forces, which the public in 1945 would not have liked.
- The film was pulled from release in the United Kingdom just a week after its premiere. This was due to protests from British army veterans and representatives of the military establishment. The Burma campaign was primarily an Anglo-Australian operation, and the film's emphasis on American participation was perceived as a national insult. The indignation felt by many was fueled by the Americans' confidence that they had won the war almost single-handedly. The film was not shown in the United Kingdom again until 1952-1953.
- In one scene, Nelson's men approach a Burmese village and ask their Gurkha guide to translate from Burmese to English. However, the villagers do not speak Burmese, but Hindi. While Burma has many languages, Hindi is not one of them. Furthermore, Gurkhas do not speak Hindi, as Hindi is spoken in India, and Gurkhas are Nepalese.
- All the weaponry, uniforms, and equipment shown in the film are authentic. At the time the film was made, they were still in use by the U.S. Army.

Many languages are spoken in Burma, but Hindi is not among them. Furthermore, Gurkhas do not speak Hindi either, as Hindi is spoken in India, and Gurkhas are Nepalese.
