Corrected entry: Early in the movie, Ryback throws a knife into a bullseye, and it sticks in the lower center of the circle. Later, he pulls it out from the right side of the circle.

Continuity mistake: Early in the film, a missile is fired from the ship, and it hits the satellite installation right outside the Navy headquarters (the people in the control room hear the explosion). It gets there very fast. Later in the film, a nuclear missile is sent towards Honolulu. That is supposed to take 24 minutes. Why so long, when the other missile got there much faster?

Suggested correction: The satellite facility wasn't at Pearl Harbor, it was somewhere else. Based on the map it was located on a small island and the ship was very close to it at the time the missile was fired so took very little time to get there. The people in the command center, not control room, hear the feed go out, not the explosion. Many hours later, and after a lot of sailing, when the missiles are fired at Honolulu, the ship could have been a couple hundred miles away from Oahu so the flight time at about 550 mph would be 24 minutes.

Correction: Time passes between when Ensign Taylor talks to Ryback (after which we see him throw the knife), and when Commander Krill enters the galley and has Ryback locked up. Plenty of time for Ryback to have retrieved his knife and thrown it again.
