Visible crew/equipment: At 54:20 they show the commander of the ship looking through binoculars they then show a shot of the two ships taken from what was supposed to be the American military ship. On the far left of the screen is the American ship visible is somebody in a blue life jacket just like the military personnel however there is someone else who is sitting down with long hair and a beard (most likely a crew member), that is obviously not in the military.

Continuity: There were several flash frames in the film - the most obvious was when an eight appeared in an atomic bomb shot. The eight was from film leader and the result of a bad edit.

Continuity: In a scene where O'Donnell meets with Kennedy in his private quarters, Kennedy unties his tie and leaves it hanging around his shoulders. A moment later it has somehow crawled partially back up under his collar.

Continuity: When the President and advisors are sitting around a large table and communicating with the captain of the ship at the beginning of the blockade, when viewed from the front, the President clearly has his right hand up to his chin while concerned and deep in thought. As the camera angle switches to his back several times, his left hand is on his chin. Front angle right, rear angle left.

Factual error: Briefly, we see an Air Force ground crew loading weapons onto a fighter (the shot is approximately a second long). The fighter is a Northrop F-5, which 1) was never flown by the Air Force as a combat plane, and 2) had yet to fly for the first time in October 1962!
