Mike Nichols’ surrealistiske krigssatire, baseret på en roman af Joseph Heller, stammer fra 1970, samme år som den ustyrlige M.A.S.H.. Begge film var ude i samme ærinde og benyttede sig af den sorteste og mest groteske humor. I Catch 22 følges en gruppe amerikanske soldater på en flybase ved Middelhavet under 2. Verdenskrig. Én efter én bliver soldaterne slået ihjel, indtil der kun er en enkelt overlevende, som forsøger at padle sig frem til det neutrale Sverige.
Hogan's Heroes is an American television sitcom that ran for 168 episodes from September 17, 1965, to July 4, 1971, on the CBS network. The show was set in a German prisoner of war camp during World War II. Bob Crane starred as Colonel Robert E. Hogan, coordinating an international crew of Allied prisoners running a Special Operations group from the camp. Werner Klemperer played Colonel Wilhelm Klink, the commandant of the camp, and John Banner was the inept sergeant-of-the-guard, Hans Schultz. The series was popular during its six-season run. In 2013, creators Bernard Fein through his estate and Albert S. Ruddy acquired the sequel and other separate rights to Hogan's Heroes from Mark Cuban through arbitration and a movie based on the show has been planned.
