* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: When Doc is having his WhiteGuilt rant toward the [=FNGs=], there are two just as likely takes on it: either he's meaning every single word of it and when being continuously called out by Beletsky he has a realisation he's in the wrong... ''or'' it was a SecretTestOfCharacter and him ultimately bonding with Beletsky is to consider him to pass the test. Or maybe even [[TakeAThirdOption both]].

* CultClassic: Not particularly well-received, didn't made a killing in the box office and basically chalked up as "yet another Vietnam war movie" that oversaturated the market back in the day... but ''Hamburger Hill'' still found its own audience thanks to distinctive characters and memorable dialogues, chiefly thanks to home media releases and [[VindicatedByCable countless reruns in the TV]].

* SpiritualAdaptation: Of ''Literature/AllQuietOnTheWesternFront''. It not even trying to hide strong anti-war message, while very strictly following the themes of [[StrangerInAFamiliarLand alienation of soldiers in civilian life]], TooDumbToLive tendencies of NewMeat, how useless the training is (and what kind of quirky things veterans do to survive) and how tightly knit the older soldiers became despite having nothing in common beyond staying alive together for so long. And obviously, almost every character ends up dead, maimed or at least completely broken by the end of it.
