Deliberate mistake: When women are being shown naked by the x-ray machine, they look wrong. If the machine just sees through clothes, their breasts wouldn't look normal, but squashed together and supported by a bra.

Visible crew/equipment: When the passengers find out about the bomb and Striker tackles the man who has it, when the briefcase with the bomb in it goes in the air, you can see a string attached to it to pull it up. (00:59:25)
Steve McCroskey: Jacobs, I want to know absolutely everything that's happened up till now.
Jacobs: Well, let's see. First the earth cooled. And then the dinosaurs came, but they got too big and fat, so they all died and they turned into oil. And then the Arabs came and they bought Mercedes Benzes. And Prince Charles started wearing all of Lady Di's clothes. I couldn't believe it.
Trivia: When the shuttle takes off, a piece of music from Battlestar Galactica is played - specifically the music from the Nova of Magadon sequence in Saga of a Star World. The navigator is played by Kent McCord who played Captain Troy on Galactica 1980.
