Trivia
The scene depicting a soldier cut completely in half by an RPG is partially true. In reality his torso and legs were held together by his spine, and he survived unconscious for about two hours. In his commentary Ridley Scott opted to depict it as it is onscreen as he felt audiences would not be able to suspend their disbelief if it was shown as it happened.
Quotes
Dan Busch:
There. Technicals, nine o'clock.

During second chopper fall, the helicopter and its main rotor are spinning in same direction.
