During a scene in the "Underworld", the soldiers sing along to "[[The Tracks of My Tears]]" by [[Smokey Robinson and The Miracles]], which was also featured in the film's trailer. The soundtrack includes "[[Groovin']]" by [[The Rascals]] and "[[(Sittin' On) The Dock of the Bay]]" by [[Otis Redding]].
