Trivia
This was the third consecutive action film which Keenen Ivory Wayans had starred in. The others include A Low Down Dirty Shame (1994) and The Glimmer Man (1996) co-starring Steven Seagal.

Goofs
The plan for Gunnery Sergeant Dunn (Keenen Ivory Wayans) to fire a bullet made of ice is pure Hollywood. If you could manage to mount a bullet made of ice in a shell casing & chamber it in a rifle, when you fired it, the shock & heat generated from the gunpowder in the shell casing would destroy the ice bullet before it even got to the end of the barrel. The Mythbusters TV show actually tried it & the ice bullet just vaporized.

Quotes
Sergeant James Dunn: You live alone?
Dr. Victoria Constantini: No, I, I have a boyfriend. He's a cop!
Sergeant James Dunn: You don't have a boyfriend.
Dr. Victoria Constantini: How do you know?
Sergeant James Dunn: There's five empty buckets of Häagen-Dazs in your trash, your legs are stubbly and your hair color needs a touch-up.

Pluses of an actor-writer

I think I've finally seen all of this movie, which one channel seems to run every week.

It's fairly ridiculous. Jon Voight has an absurd accent to which he is fully committed. Jill Hennessey plays most of her part in what appears to be a summer pajama top (and wonderfully perfect makeup). The military has whatever resources they need to advance the plot, but never enough to crush the hero. The twists are visible from miles ahead. But it remains entertaining.

I think that it is an advantage to the watchability that the hero (Keenan Ivory Wayans) is also the writer. Banter comes out more believable when the writer has to put it in his own mouth.
