Visible crew/equipment: When the Seaborn Legend is just starting to hit the decking, there is one shot from on the deck of the boat moving towards the camera with a cannon in front of the boat. Look by the end of the cannon and you can see the camera that is attached to the boat. (01:37:00)
Speed 2: Cruise Control (1997)
1 visible crew/equipment mistake
Directed by: Jan de Bont
Starring: Willem Dafoe, Sandra Bullock, Jason Patric, Temuera Morrison
Plot hole: Dafoe and Bullock leave the ship a long time before it hits the tanker and there is a lot more time before it crashes into the town and even more before Alex gets on that speedboat. No matter how fast he could have gone, there is no way he would have caught up with them.
Alex Shaw: I gotta get my girl.
Trivia: At the end of the movie, the bus that Sandra Bullock nearly hits is numbered 2526. The bus in the first Speed movie was numbered 2525.
Answer: There is no logical reason for it and it is purely for cinematic theatrics. It's a movie myth that cars, boats, etc. immediately explode upon impact. In real life, explosions rarely happen that way.
