Goofs
When Collins is describing to Skippy the people photographing the hatch crane, he repeatedly says they were standing on the "boat deck." On a lake freighter, the deck containing the hatch covers and the hatch crane is called the "spar deck,' which one would expect a lakeboat officer to know. The "Boat Deck" is at the stern, one deck higher than the spar deck. It would be possible to see and photograph the hatch crane in operation from the boat deck on most lakers, but the company guests are shown standing next to the hatch cover, on the spar deck.

Quotes
Stan: Boy, was I drunk last night.
Joe Pitko: I'm *still* drunk.
Stan: That wine. You drink wine, it dehydrates you. When you drink water the next morning, it activates the alcohol.
Joe Pitko: I'm so hung over I can't see.
Stan: Can't see? I can't even talk.
Joe Pitko: I can't even fuckin' think straight.
Stan: You couldn't think straight *last night*.
Joe Pitko: I was drunk last night.
Stan: You're *still* drunk.
Joe Pitko: Yeah.

Crazy credits
In the final credits, the actor playing Guigliani is listed as HIMSELF, even though it should be "Andy Garcia."
