"No one really knew we existed. Even our wives didn't know where we were going when we left Monday morning and came back Friday evening."

"Survival kit contents check. In them you'll find: one forty-five caliber automatic; two boxes of ammunition; four days' concentrated emergency rations; one drug issue containing antibiotics, morphine, vitamin pills, pep pills, sleeping pills, tranquilizer pills; one miniature combination Russian phrase book and Bible; one hundred dollars in rubles; one hundred dollars in gold; nine packs of chewing gum; one issue of prophylactics; three lipsticks; three pair of nylon stockings. Shoot, a fella' could have a pretty good weekend in Vegas with all that stuff."

Audio/visual unsynchronized: After Major Kong lists the contents of the emergency ration kits, he says "Shoot, a fella could have a pretty good time in Dallas with all that stuff." After filming, the line was dubbed to "pretty good time in Vegas". The mismatch can clearly be seen. This was done because President Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas shortly after filming was completed, and the producers did not want to offend anyone.
