In Saving Private Ryan (1998) the term is used by the soldiers in Captain Miller's squad. Corporal Upham, their interpreter, is unfamiliar with it and the others jokingly tell him it's German. He is later shown looking in his German dictionary and remarking: "Hey, I looked up FUBAR in the German dictionary and there's no FUBAR in there." FUBAR is explained towards the end of the film when Mellish is giving Upham a briefing for the final battle as Fucked Up Beyond All Recognition.
