Other mistake: Whilst Captain Holland, Lieutenant Pizer, Dr. McCrae, Bob and Vincent are riding in the ship's transport system, the tube comes to an abrupt end due to meteorite damage. Since the tube is outside the ship, there would be no air left for the humans to breathe, nor could they survive in outer space completely unprotected for long. Plus, they would't be able to hear Bob's statement that they should try the main corridor. (01:17:40)
The Black Hole (1979)
1 other mistake
Directed by: Gary Nelson
Starring: Ernest Borgnine, Robert Forster, Anthony Perkins, Maximilian Schell, Joseph Bottoms
Factual error: In the PALOMINO scenes, Anthony Perkins wears a long lab coat. In most of the scenes, it hangs straight down; but in the low gravity aboard the ship it should be flattering about (that's why such loose garments are not worn by real-life cosmonauts; they would be a hindrance).
Captain Dan Holland: It's only dinner.
V.I.N.CENT: Said the spider to the fly.
Trivia: The name of Dr Reinhardt's ship is Cygnus. The first (theoretical) black hole was discovered in the constellation Cygnus.
