“Well, we could have the Germans win the war.”

“I'll tell you a secret. The last act makes a film. Wow them in the end, and you got a hit. You can have flaws, problems, but wow them in the end, and you've got a hit. Find an ending, but don't cheat, and don't you dare bring in a deus ex machina. Your characters must change, and the change must come from them.”
Brian Cox - Robert McKee

“- Marvin Landisman: I knew this was gonna happen. I'm not changing one word! I don't need to make this film and I don't need your damn turkey sandwich okay? Just... let's just forget it okay?
- Jack Roth: Jesus I love your passion. It's so refreshing.”
Robert Wuhl - Marvin Landisman
Martin Landau - Jack Roth

“I know a man who made an anti-war movie... a good one. When it was shown in his home town, army enlistment went up six hundred percent. I'm trying to convince the world with my movie that there is a reasonable and better way of getting home for Thanksgiving.”
Peter O'Toole - Eli Cross

“- Sean: Oh good idea! We're not at war with Germany.
- Phoebe: We were at war with Vietnam.
- Sean: What?
- Phoebe: It's in Rambo!”

Andre Gower - Sean
Ashley Bank - Phoebe
