Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaSteven Seagal doesn't have his signature ponytail in the film. The Navy doesn't allow hair to be longer than four inches.
- GoofsWhen the private informs Ryback there is a fire, Ryback tells him to "take my pies out of the oven." The private is then shown lifting pies out of the oven, but the burners are those of a propane stove. The U.S. Navy does not use propane/natural gas ovens, to carry that gas on a ship in war would be deadly. All cooking in the galley is done on electric appliances.
- Quotes
Jordan Tate: You're not a cook.
Casey Ryback: Yeah, well... I also cook.
- Crazy creditsAt the close of the credits: USS Missouri BB63 was decommissioned March 31, 1992 and is now moored at Bremerton Naval Yard, awaiting her next call to service.

Featured review
Basically Under Siege is Die Hard on a boat. But the direction by Andrew Davis and the martial arts of Segal make this one stand out. Tommy Lee Jones makes a good villain as always. And extra points for Erika for getting naked.
