White Squall

Continuity mistake: When the survivors of the sunken ship are floating in the life raft, Geig makes a comment while observing the cloudless night sky: "look, there goes Shepherd..."(something to that effect, in reference to the recent launch of Allen Shepherd in the first Mercury manned-space flight). In actuality, Shepherd's flight was a day launch and a sub-orbital flight lasting only few minutes. He never achieved orbit and therefore would not be visible travelling in the night sky.

Other mistake: When the students are below deck having a meal, a glass pitcher of orange juice can be seen. Even though the boat is apparently rocking to and fro in the waves, the juice level stays still. Obviously it is the camera that is moving and not the set.
