Corrected entry: Picard and Worf destroy the deflector dish. This means the Enterprise is left without the ability to deflect anything, including dust. Without that ability, it would be unable to proceed at even impulse speeds, let alone go to warp, as the impacts would create micro-holes in the ship and thus destroy it.

Corrected entry: In the first scene when Data is captured by the Borg Queen and he is restrained, he informs her that the encryption code is locked in his neuralnet and can not be forcibly removed, you see 2 small drill bits being drilled right into his head by his left ear. Later in the movie when they are talking about the flesh on his arm (before the flesh is grafted onto his face) while he is still being restrained, there are NO drill holes in his face. From prior episodes in STNG Data is NOT self healing. How did the holes fix themselves? And if the Borg queen is going to graft flesh on his face there, why would they bother fixing the holes? (00:39:00 - 00:46:00)
Correction: The Borg Queen is trying to win Data over to her side, not to force him. So any damage they do to him while preparing to attach real skin to him will be fixed to show her good faith.

Correction: A. Enterprise is mostly in orbit and travels a short distance through the solar system, even our spacecraft today do that safely for weeks without damage. B. Her structural integrity fields provide limited protection against spaceborne debris. C. The crew will certainly effect repairs before they return to the future.
