Goofs:
Incorrectly regarded as goofs: The Fort Baxter radio station's call sign is allowed to start with a W, even though Kansas is west of the Mississippi, because the boundary line was once farther west and stations did not have to be renamed when it was moved. WIBW and WREN are real-life stations in Topeka, Kansas.

[Pvt. Doberman is playing tug-of-war with a horse for a bet] What's going on?
Sgt. Raquel Barbella:
It's Private Doberman. He's the one that looks sort of human. The other day in the weight room he said, "I feel as strong as a horse." Some guy in Company P overheard him and said, "Yeah, for how much?"

Steve Martin is larger than life in this very funny comedy. He plays the
title character who is lazy, sleazy, clever and always one step ahead of
everyone else he should be ahead of.
He runs the motor pool like it would be run by someone from 'Animal House'.
They spend all their time gambling and sleeping it off.
A new recruit (Darryl Mitchell, from 'Galaxy Quest' and '10 Things I Hate
About You) does not understand his unprofessionalism as a military man so in
some ways Darryl acts as the audience.
Bilko has a girlfriend who is onto him but loves him in spite of herself.
He constantly leaves her at the altar ("I'm the only woman I know whose
wedding dress is showing wear") but its a game they play more than anything.
Plot takes off when Phil Hartman shows up. He's an old adversary of Bilko
and wants to even an old score. He demands that Bilko and his men shape up
and even starts romancing Bilko's girlfriend, which of course drives Bilko
crazy.
Glenne Headley is perfectly cast as Bilko's girlfriend. Unfortunately Phil
Hartman is miscast and does not generate the laughs you'd hope for from this
comic genius. Dan Ackroyd is very good too, but of course the movie belongs
to Steve Martin. He's an acquired taste, but so what. 8/10.
