This was John Schuck's film debut, and he was cast as Capt. Walter Kosciusko 'Painless Pole' Waldowski, the MASH dentist, because of his very pronounced under bite.
Movie Goof (errors made by characters, possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): Hawkeye, in his diagnosis of the sick Japanese-American infant in Kokura, mispronounces "fistula," putting the emphasis on the last syllable.
In the opening titles, when a soldier carrying a wounded soldier on a stretcher and when when the soldier trips and falls down, it wasn't scripted. It was actually an accident by the actor who tripped over something. Robert Altman decided that instead of editing it out, to use it to foreshadow the dark humor theme as the movie's first small, but real, laugh.
The character of Major Frank Burns in the film is actually a combination of two characters from the original novel, Captain Frank Burns and Major Jonathan Hobson.
