When Smith is first put in the prison cell, he sees graffiti written on the wall that says, "Kilroy was here." This was a phrase popular during WW2 among American soldiers who would write it on the walls anywhere they were camped or stationed. It usually would be written alongside a crude drawing of a man with a very long nose peeking over a wall. It became a running joke that American soldiers would find it at "every beachhead they stormed." This foreshadows the arrival of the American military in the film. Kilroy was here was the American equivalent of the Australian phrase, "Foo was here."
