影片花絮

男配角斯波尔丁·格雷写了一场独角戏，是关于他在拍摄这部电影的经历，随后根据这个拍成了另一部电影Swimming to Cambodia(1987)。

吴汉(Haing S. Ngor)成为第一位东南亚(也是第一位佛教教徒)获得奥斯卡奖的演员。

电影中的可口可乐工厂原来设想的是一家百事可乐工厂，后来百事拒绝了出现在影片中。

在奥斯卡颁奖典礼上，当吴汉(Haing S. Ngor)赢得最佳男配角奖的时候，他在十五岁侄女的陪伴下走上领奖台。就在这个时候，约翰·马尔科维奇开玩笑地大笑起来，对他说了一些柬埔寨语，令他的侄女大吃一惊，吴汉也笑了起来。约翰喊道："这个奖项属于我的，屁股！"在吴汉的自传中，他说约翰·马尔科维奇学习柬埔寨骂人的脏话，兴趣十分浓厚。

穿帮镜头

连贯性：当辛迪在他的房间和迪斯·普瑞说话的时候，不同镜头之间他的发型变化了。先是从整齐地分开梳着变成垂下来在前额上，又回到整齐分开梳着。

幕后制作

电影中，最让人令人不寒而栗，头皮发麻的一幕是，DithPran试图逃跑，经过“人骨河”，不小心掉进河中，抓

着一具人骨才爬上岸！更触目惊心的那些在PolPot(波尔布特)统治下，幼小孩子思想被洗脑后，那些凶恶的眼神，看不到一丝善良，是那种比冰更冷的眼神。他们/她们举枪、挥刀杀人，毫不手软。该影片获得三项奥斯卡金奖(1985)。DithPran的扮演者是华裔医生吴汉。吴汉原是柬埔寨红色高棉恐怖统治时代的华侨医生，他逃过赤棉的血腥大屠杀，辗转流亡美国。一九八四年好莱坞拍摄电影《战火屠城》，吴汉因缘际会在片中轧上一角，饰演为美国媒体工作的柬埔寨摄影记者，由于角色诠释刻画入微，一炮而红，获奥斯卡最佳男配角奖。

精彩对白

Dith Pran:[in his journal while imprisoned] The wind whispers of fear and hate. The war has killed love. And those that confess to the Angka are punished, and no one dare ask where they go. Here, only the silent survive.

Dith Pran:We must be like the ox, and have no thought, except for the Party. And have no love, but for the Angka. People starve, but we must not grow food. We must honor the comrade children, whose minds are not corrupted by the past.

[last lines - at their reunion, with warm smiles]

Sydney Schanberg:You forgive me?

Dith Pran:Nothing to forgive, Sydney. Nothing.

[listening to BBC reporter Hugh Elder's broadcast on the radio]

Jon Swain:Where do they get this crap?

Al Rockoff:That guy across the gate there. The little guy. Could we all not look at once, please? I have it on reliable sources that that's none other than Hugh Elder.

Jon Swain:You're kidding ...

Al Rockoff:He's disguised, but I got a little suspicious about it, you know what I mean?

Dith Pran:How does he get his copy out?

Al Rockoff: How does he get his copy out? Specially trained hens. Yeah, the BBC has commissioned them to walk past the Khmer Rouge like they're regular fowl, and then they've been crossing the border into Thailand every day and every night.

[Dith Pran is forced to leave the French Embassy]

Morgan:For chrissakes, Sydney, why didn't you get him out then you had the chance? You had no right to keep him here! Funny sense of priorities.

Dith Pran:I'm a reporter too, Morgan! I know his heart. I love him like my brother, and I'd do anything for him! Anything!

Jon Swain:If the going gets rough, I heard our best bet's the French embassy.

Sydney Schanberg:Who told you that?

Jon Swain:[faint chuckle] The British embassy.

Dith Pran:[during the fall of Phnom Penh] "Sidney! No more fighting! No more war!"

[You know Pran's not going to last five minutes out there, Jon, the Khmer Rouge have killed every fucking journalist they've ever caught. Does Sydney know how serious this is?]

[Of course he bloody knows!]

[Because we can't just let him walk out of here!]

[first lines]

Sydney Schanberg:Cambodia. To many westerners it seemed a paradise. Another world, a secret world. But the war in neighboring Vietnam burst it's borders, and the fighting soon spread to neutral Cambodia. In 1973 I went to cover this side-show struggle as a foreign correspondent of the New York Times. It was there, in the war-torn country side amidst the fighting between government troops and the Khmer Rouge guerrillas, that I met my guide and interpreter, Dith Pran. A man who was to change my life in a country I grew to love and pity.

radio announcer:So here we go with Voice of America. News for Southeast Asia. It's 6:45 and a partly cloudy morning here. Clouds too in Washington. President Nixon has announced that he will address the nation on the Water Gate case within the next few days. The speech will be Mr. Nixon's first comments since May on the scandal which has resulted in resignations and nearly paralyzed the White House staff. It has also led to a tense confrontation, and perhaps a constitutional crises, with Senate investigators and the special Water Gate prosecutor. His speech was announced after the Gallop Poll disclosed that Mr. Nixon's popularity had fallen to the lowest point for an American president in 20 years...

Dith Pran:They tell us that God is dead. And now the Party, they call the Uncle, will provide everything for us. He says, Uncle has identified and proclaims that the existence of a bad new disease, a memory sickness like those that think too much about life in pre-revolutionary Cambodia. He says, we are surrounded by enemies. The enemy is inside us. No one can be trusted.

[young boy Xs out parents in stick figure family on blackboard]

Dith Pran:We must be like the ox and have no thought, except for the Party. No laugh, but for the Uncle. People starve, but we must not grow food. We must honor the comrade children, whose minds are not corrupted by the past.
