Because of the edited recap of the previous episodes in the mini-series,
the USA Network did not give Ron Friedman credit for writing "Chaos in the Sea of Lost Souls."
A modified Cobra HISS tank was seen during the battle in the arctic. Rather than one gun turret on the back of the tank, the HISS that rescued Major Bludd was built with two turrets.

Dialogue:
Bazooka: Fudgies!
Alpine: Say what?
Bazooka: Fudgies!
Quick Kick: You mean the candy bar that I was plugging?
Bazooka: Uh-huh! Got any?
Quick Kick: Frozen fudgies/ what a treat/ lots of chocolate/
really sweet/ full of taffy, raisins and nuts/ that melts in your mouth
/and turns to lead in your guts.
Alpine: Mmm! Gross!
Bazooka: Mmm! Good!
Time: 24 seconds
Commentary: This was an
edit that should have not been approved because the fictional jingle is
a classic example of the humor in the show.

 USA: Lifeline suggest avoiding candy as a snack since the sugar rush will not last very long. An apple, however, is a viable alternative.
