Goofs:

Continuity: When the terrorist "frogmen" jump from the plane prior to attacking the ship, a SCUBA mask can plainly be seen flying off the head of a terrorist. However, all the terrorists have their masks when they are seen climbing the ladders (why they still have their masks on after leaving the water is another question all together).

Not shipshape

It is an oddly run ocean liner. There seems to be a total engine crew of six people. When the engine room supervisor (unsure of his precise title), finds a worker murdered and kills the perp, he doesn't immediately report to an officer -- he just seems to hang out in the engine room till the writer wants him again. Luggage is in below decks storage rather than in people's staterooms, as if it were an airplane. There is no deckwatch during dinner. The bad guys are apparently less than 20 (the number is never clear) and seem to have always believed that sufficient to control a sizeable ship. We have no clue as to how the bad guys meant to get away. Anyway, some of the action is cool.
