''[[Die Hard on an X|Die Hard {{smallcapssmall-caps|ONon Aa BOATboat!!}}]]'' One of [[Steven Seagal]]'s greatest films. It was released in 1992.
 
Casey Ryback (Seagal) is [[Almighty Janitor|a valued cook]] on the USS ''Missouri'', which is undergoing one last party in Pearl Harbor before it goes to [[San Francisco]] to be decommissioned. The captain of the ship wanted Seagal to show up in his dress whites with full decorations, but he refused; he eventually said that the captain's birthday was tomorrow and he needed to make bouillabaisse for it, which lets him off the hook.
Line 34:
** After someone punches a senior officer in front of multiple witnesses, it would not take an order from the captain to put that someone in the brig. The captain should admittedly still be ''notified'' of such an occurrence, which Krill would still be anxious to avoid.
** An order to lock someone in a freezer should be questionable. An order to lock someone up after its been specifically pointed out that the officer in question allegedly does not have the authority to lock someone up is even more questionable. Just barely justifiable in that a private fresh out of training will understandably fear to contradict a full commander to their face (although he should still have contacted his own chain of command after Krill left to ''tell'' them about this and ask for a second opinion, as it involves possible officer misconduct), and that the individual Marine in question was picked specifically because he was the stupidest guy Krill could find.
*** Ryan Szimanski, curator of ''Missouri'''s sister ship ''New Jersey'', notes it's also ''physically'' impossible: The only walk in freezers on an ''Iowa'' class are part of the ''enlisted'' galley (sticking someone in a freezer in the officer's galley requires something more akin to [[Stuffed Into a Locker]]), ''and'' those have an emergency gong system for anyone locked inside.
* [[Berserk Button]]: It's not really a good idea to spit in Ryback's soup. He takes it kind of personally.
* [[BFG]]: The 16" guns of the Missouri. Which Ryback uses to sink the sub.
