Tropes for the film:

  • The '60s: Takes place in 1968, during the Vietnam war.
  • Gunship Rescue: McGriff and Perkins are surrounded by corrupt South Vietnamese police. The Chief policeman, Lime Green, tells them, "I am afraid you are outgunned today". As a helicopter BDG appears from behind the buildings, Dix, the lead MP, replies, "You still don't get it, do you? We [Americans] are never outgunned!".
  • Tagline: "Being a cop is tough. But in Saigon, 1968, being a cop is crazy.
