Ok, let's clear some things up

Rating: Null/10 (2 February 1999)

Alright people, sad as it may sound I have seen this film about 15 times so I like to consider myself as a bit of an expert on what people think as goofs. First of all, when the Airforce Commander flew to the rig to get Harry, Harry left and yelled to Chick "Get them paid and off the rig". Now they were in the South China Sea. If they left the rig within a couple of hours, they would have made it back to the US in about 18 hours, (as said by Harry). Now, there was plenty of time for them to all scatter as the FBI didn't start looking for any of them until after Harry and Grace had been briefed and taken to see the drilling ops. So in natural fact, the FBI chasing these guys around the country could well be correct.
I am not one to only look at the good points so here are a couple of things I found to be a bit crap - but in a fun way. When Harry was punting golfballs at Greenpeace, he threw his golfclub when Chick informed him that "Number 2 had chewed 180 feet". However, Harry had the golfclub in his hands when he went to wake up AJ. (Unless he picked another one up of course). Also, the guys had 10 hours off the night before they left for Florida. But they all seemed to return to their hometowns. Rockhound got a loan from a guy he obviously knew, Chick went to see his ex-wife etc. Let's all assume that they don't live in Houston, this would have been pushing it, to get a flight to wherever they all came from. And just one last thing (that I can think of). Grace was at the Cape saying goodbye to Harry and AJ and was there to watch the shuttles taking off. The next time we see her is in the Houston control room. Meaning she must have got a flight to Houston almost immediately after the shuttles took off. (Probably private bloody chopper). This rings true as the next time we see Grace is well after the Russian Space Station incident and just before they do their roadrunner thrust around the moon - some 60 hours later. There I feel better now!
