- Awesome Music:
- While most of the film's score is rather hit-and-miss within its intended context, "In The Jungle"
does a pretty good job of capturing the tense atmosphere of a Vietnam War battlefield. - Although it doesn't really fit the film's grim tone, "Frankie Walks the Walk" is quite catchy out of context, sounding a bit like something out of an SNES game.

- Retroactive Recognition: Lead actor and composer Rick Giovinazzo would later go on to work as an orchestrator for films like Inception, Battleship, and Despicable Me.
- Too Bleak, Stopped Caring: As dark as similar psycho-dramas such as Eraserhead, Taxi Driver, and The Deer Hunter were, they still offered interesting, complex characters and/or masterful cinematic technique. Combat Shock lacked these qualities, and the intensely grim setting and self-seriousness gave the film an outright nihilistic tone.
