Trivialidades:

Contrary to the character in the movie, the real Adrian Cronauer did not use comedy in his radio broadcast, nor was he kicked out of the military. He left Vietnam because his tour of duty was over.

Goofs:

Continuity: In the bathroom, Cronauer misbuttons his shirt, but in the next shot it is fine.

Quotes:

Dickerson: This is not military issue, airman. What sort of uniform is that?
Adrian Cronauer: Cretan camouflage sir. If you want to blend in with a bunch of drunken Greeks there's nothing better.
Dickerson: That is humor. I recognize that. I also recognize your brand of soldier.

Good Morning, Vietnam

Williams is superb as an over the top disc jockey who likes to rattle a few cages of his superiors, but also give hope to the countless men and women fighting in the Vietnam War. Williams' radio scenes are classic examples of off the wall antics at its best. Director Levinson just sits back and lets it all come alive.
