* MickeyMousing: Happens during the ''Missouri'''s reactivation. When Lynch topples the claw machine to get access to the door behind it, [[https://youtu.be/zwVQ7M5IFt8?t=140 the sound it makes]] when it hits the ground is perfectly synced to the "Thun-der" chant from ''Thunderstruck''. Which, admittedly, doesn't actually come into play until later (when the lights in the passage are turned on), but still, props to the guy in post for getting the slow-mo synced up like that.

* AdvertisingByAssociation: The film was proudly declared as coming "From {{Creator/Hasbro}}, the company that brought you ''Film/{{Transformers}}''", in spite of neither film being actually made by the same studio [[note]]Hasbro's film division at the time just developed the concepts for other studios. Also, they didn't create the original Battleship game, they just bought out the owners[[/note]].

* RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: Lt. Alex Hopper doesn't do delegating. Being a junior officer, he's sent to scout the alien spaceship; later, when the aliens board ''John Paul Jones'', he's leading the team searching for them, even though he's by then the acting Captain. In the novelization, he even notes that he shouldn't be doing so.

* StealthParody: Maybe. Was this an actual invasion, or a FirstContact botched by human belligerence? The novelization says it was an actual invasion, but [[{{WMG/Battleship}} the film is a bit ambiguous]].
