Trivia
If you listen closely to the vehicles on base, they either have a hard time starting or continue to sputter after stopped. A great subtle gag throughout the film.

Goofs
When Bilko is playing craps in Vegas, several times he shakes the dice with both hands, holds them away from the table, and then throws them. This would never be permitted in a real casino.

Quotes
Wally: Speaking of Doberman, can I please have another roommate?
Bilko: Why, what's wrong with Doberman?
Wally: He wet his bed!
Bilko: Oh, well, once in a while...
Wally: No, he did it from across the room.

Crazy credits
"The filmmakers gratefully acknowledge the total lack of cooperation from the United States Army."

Comedy?!

This was one of the worst "comedy" films I have seen for years. Martin can and has done far better. I also think it is an insult to the original Sgt Bilko TV shows, starring the late, great Phil Silvers. This is because it bears little in common with the original. At times I thought I was watching one of the later, abominable Police Academy films. Not impressed.
