Reference is made to Breaker Morant. Breaker was a Australian Solider who was court-martialled and executed by the British commander in South Africa, Lord Kitchener, during the Boer War. Morant's famous last words before being shot were "Shoot straight, you bastards! Don't make a mess of it!".
The rifle Andy McNab uses in the film is an M16A2 with an M203 40mm grenade launcher.
Due the the negative portrayal of Sgt Vince Philips in The One That Got Away, an earlier portrayal of the Bravo Two Zero mission, Vince's name was changed to Ray in this at the request of his family and Andy McNab.
Prologue: "This film is based on a true story of an SAS patrol behind enemy lines in Iraq."
Freedom by George Michael and it must be love by Madness were also featured but were not mentioned in the soundtrack.
