Death Ship picture

Continuity mistake: When the Death Ship rids itself of its two lifeboats, Captain Marshall and Nick watch as the first hits the water. It's full of debris. Captain Marshall and Nick then move to the other side of the Death Ship in an effort to prevent the second lifeboat from being dumped, a distinctly different boat sans debris. When it hits the water, the editors cut to an image of the first boat.

Continuity mistake: In the very last scene, Hoskins opens the back left hand passenger door. He gets in, and is seated right on the edge of the seat (as far left as he can go) when the car takes off, and Brosnan pops up and aims a gun at Hoskins. Hoskins does not move. However, from the camera angle, Brosnan is pointing a gun at the middle of the row of seats, whereas Hoskins is sitting on the far left.

Continuity mistake: When Clifford is running down the hallway from Moody and his gang, Moody closes in on him by almost 40 feet. In the following shot, outside the auditorium, Clifford is a greater distance from the gang, sighing relief at the apparent getaway. Unless he suddenly picked up speed rounding some hallway corner, the time distance is impossible.
