Poseidon

Continuity mistake: During the capsizing in the disco, a light rigging falls and knocks some people over. There is a woman in a black top and pink skirt - she falls over twice between the two shots.

Continuity mistake: When the survivors are climbing out through the propeller tube, Dylan is the first one out with the others following him. But after everyone is out he is the last out to climb out.

Suggested correction: It's very obvious that Dylan is not getting out, but merely looks inside the hole, and is then standing up, so he was there all the time after he got out first, and then just looked into the hole, after everyone got in the tube, then gets up.

Continuity mistake: During the capsize, when the woman falls from above the elevator to her death, she is flipping a different way when she impacts the roof from when she first started falling.

Factual error: After the ship capsized, the engines (and generators) could not have continued to run inverted due to lubrication and fuel delivery problems. Engines can not run upside down as they will fail due to lack of lubricant, since the pickups are at the bottom. Same for fuel - most fuel pickups are near the bottom of the tank so you can use the full capacity of the tank. With the ship upside down these pickups would fail. Even if battery power could run some emergency lights for a while, there would have been nothing to supply the massive energy needed to run the bow thrusters.

Trivia: The UK poster of the ship underwater isn't actually the Poseidon. It's actually the P&O Cruises Arcadia II. This is because they hadn't designed the Poseidon when the poster was released.
