Goofs

In the scene where the natives lead Bud and Terence to the jap tank, they both wear parts of US uniforms they took from the abandoned WWII US military depot. Hill's shirt has US Air Force written on it, which is incorrect, as the USAF didn't exist before 1947, two years after the end of WWII.

Faq

What are the differences between the US Version and the German Version?

Since the film had been released in theaters fully uncut, it had been expected that the DVD release would also be uncut. Unfortunately, German company e-m-s released the DVD based on a US-master, which had been released under the title "Who Finds a Friend Finds a Treasure", on which a longer scene is missing completely, which had been in the theatrical release in Germany. In total nearly four minutes are missing in the US Version. A detailed comparison between both cuts can be found here.
