    Storyline

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Steven Seagal doesn't have his signature ponytail in the film. The Navy doesn't allow hair to be longer than four inches.
    • Goofs
      When 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 credits

    Seagal's best!

    This movie is definately Steven Seagal's best movie. This movie is definately worth a look. The supporing cast like Tommy Lee Jones and Gary Busey make very good villans. Jones did a great job as the half insane mercinary who's in on a plot of hijacking a U.S. Battleship. There are a lot of actors in this one who would appear in director Andrew Davis's next film "The Fugitive" The action in this movie is great. I think this movie also contains some good cinematography by Frank Tidy. This is not a movie you can take seriously. You have to use your imagination and know it's not real but pretend it is. *** out of ****
