Trivia:

As Commandant Lassard is an avid golfer, his goldfish is appropriately named Birdie.

Goofs:

Revealing mistakes: When they are walking into the airport to board the flight to Miami, we see them walk across a doormat that has "PBIA" on it. This is because this scene was filmed at Palm Beach International Airport. The fictional city where they live is someplace up north (Midwest, Northeast, or eastern Canada where it was filmed)

Quotes:

[Captain Harris, with the word Dork burned into his chest, approaches a bar where Cmndt. Lassard, Chief Hurst, Chief Murdock, and the Mayor of Miami are seated]
Capt. Thaddeus Harris: Oh Mr. Mayor, excuse me sir. I don't mean to insult your city, but the people on this beach are very rude and hostile.
Mayor of Miami: Well, I'm sorry to hear that... Captain Dork!
[the gentlemen at the bar break down in laughter, and Harris finally realizes what has been burned on to his chest]

OK

number 5 is ok. Not as funny as the rest of them like this should be. Lassard has to retire yet he still has an award to go to Miami. Even though it says bubba smith stars, he was barely in this. Matt McCoy should have starred.
