Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaHarrison Ford watched this film while he was deciding whether to take on the lead role in "The Fugitive (1993)," which had Andrew Davis already set to direct. Ford was greatly impressed by Davis' work here and immediately accepted that role. Tommy Lee Jones was also cast in it.
- GoofsWhen the private informs Ryback there is a fire, Ryback tells him to "take my pies out of the oven." The private is then shown lifting pies out of the oven, but the burners are those of a propane stove. The U.S. Navy does not use propane/natural gas ovens, to carry that gas on a ship in war would be deadly. All cooking in the galley is done on electric appliances.
- Quotes
Jordan Tate: You're not a cook.
Casey Ryback: Yeah, well... I also cook.
- Crazy creditsAt the close of the credits: USS Missouri BB63 was decommissioned March 31, 1992 and is now moored at Bremerton Naval Yard, awaiting her next call to service.
- Alternate versionsThe original theatrical, earlier home video and earlier TV airings (including the 1994 ABC airing) had the 1984 Warner Bros. logo at the beginning at the end, post-2003 prints had the 1999 CGI variant and fanfare at the beginning and the 2001 closing variant, both with the 2003 TimeWarner byline.
