The line "I've got a bad feeling about this" and the character "Hamill" are both a nod to the "Star Wars" films, directed by Steven Spielberg's good friend George Lucas, moreGoofs:
Continuity: When Miller is dazed and the movie is silent after the Tiger's shot knocks Miller over, Reiben helps him over to where Sgt. Horvath is laying. Miller's body is facing toward the camera while his head turns to look at Horvath, but in the next shot his body is facing Horvath. moreQuotes:

I have never been affected by a movie the way Saving Private Ryan affected me. That movie really took me out of my seat in the movie theater and practically had me believing I was really in the battle with John Miller. When somebody was dying in that movie, it felt as if you could almost feel their pain. Speilberg did an unbelievable job of putting realism into this movie with the camera-work and everything else. Simply amazing. An all time great.
