Other mistake: When Sir Anthony Hopkins (playing Johnny McLeod) is awaiting the arrival of the suspected bomber O'Neill (played by Cyril Cusack), a funny mistake occurs. Cusack sees Hopkins, smiles and greets him with a cheerful "Hello, Tony!" instead of "Hello, Johnny!" Being a pro, Hopkins doesn't blink an eye!
Juggernaut (1974)
Directed by: Richard Lester
Starring: Anthony Hopkins, Richard Harris, Omar Sharif, David Hemmings
Plot hole: Just how exactly did the bomber get all of those drums on the ship unnoticed? Then, why didn't anyone question the appearance of the drums that are in very conspicuous locations?
Other mistake: Fallon and Charlie tackle one of the bombs each, and Charlie is supposed to be duplicating the steps that Fallon takes. However, the first screw that Charlie loosens on the cover plate isn't the same one that Fallon first loosens.
Trivia: The MacGyver episode "Countdown" was a remake of this film. Initially the bomb defusing scene is replicated in part in the Kurt Russell film "Executive Decision"
Lt. Cmdr. Anthony Fallon: I blew a great big hole in your ship, Captain. I'd better give it back to you.
Lt. Cmdr. Anthony Fallon: May you inherit the earth.
Charlie Braddock: Yeah, six feet of it, I think.
Lt. Cmdr. Anthony Fallon: Fallon is the champion.
