Tail Sting (2001)

Plot hole: The young man goes through security check and it beeps constantly when he passes by, allowing for the baddie to sort it out easily while carrying a gun. These systems only beep once, but, in any case, cops stop passengers from walking by when the systems beeps.

Continuity mistake: After the incident with the seal and the shark, the couple are explaining it all to a cop who writes it down on a notepad. In the close-up it changes to a pink bottle, and in the wider angle back to a notepad.

Continuity mistake: Everyone in the Apex yacht falls down when the shark knocks the ship violently, but the fragile tower made of champagne glasses manages to defy the laws of gravity, and it doesn't move an inch amidst the chaos until a waiter stumbles upon it.
