- TriviaThough it has been common in recent years for films or cable programs featuring graphic language to have words bleeped out when they are shown on a regular broadcast channel or on a more censorious family values network, this was one of the first times where, as a gag in a theatrical release, some of Mickey Shaughnessy's supposedly rough words were indicated by comic bleeps on the soundtrack. In the novel the character's language was also so blue that it was bleeped out on the written page.
- GoofsShip's bells in the Navy ring every 30 minutes. The duration between the ringing of two and three bells during the staff meeting is four minutes in a scene that plays out in real time without a break.
