* MsFanservice: Zizi, played by the [[EveryoneLooksSexierIfFrench French actress]] Mylène Demongeot. Every scene she's in involves showing off her assets--[[LegFocus flashing her lovely legs]] while climbing a scramble net, [[GettingHotInHere stripped down to her bra in the sweltering prisoner hold]], teasing Kruger that her lifejacket is [[BuxomIsBetter too tight]] or dancing on deck in a [[HollywoodCostuming period-inappropriate]] [[TorpedoTits bullet bra]] and shorts.

* CigarChomper: The German officer who boards the ''Liverpool'' has a cigar sticking out of his mouth, which he uses to light the fuse on the demolition charges.

** DatedHistory: Instead of doppelganger spies doing ''Mission Impossible''-type infiltrations of German headquarters, the codes were [[BoringButPractical actually obtained by the codebreakers of Bletchley Park]], a fact still classified at the time the movie was made. In fairness, Ultra decrypts were routinely passed off as being obtained from spies or reconnaissance aircraft.

** Zizi has SixtiesHair, a [[TorpedoTits bullet-bra]] and [[WhoWearsShortShorts short shorts]]. While she might have abandoned ship in her skivvies, she certainly wouldn't be dancing around in public dressed like that in the 1940's.

''Under Ten Flags'' (Italian: ''Sotto dieci bandiere'') is a 1960 Italian-American war film.

In 1941, Allied ships are being sunk by the disguised German commerce raider ''Atlantis'' captained by Bernhard Rogge, who seeks to fight the war in an honourable manner. Meanwhile the British Admiralty and intelligence service coordinate their efforts to hunt and sink the ''Atlantis''.

** The ''Atlantis'' was fired on by the British ship ''Kemmendine'' after it signaled its surrender, but a board of inquiry by the captains of both vessels determined that the man who fired the gun [[PoorCommunicationKills hadn't been aware of this]] because a ruptured steam pipe cut off communication with the stern of the ship where the gun was positioned. In this movie we have the captain of the ''Abdullah'' (who, of course, is not British) deliberately ordering his gunners to fire [[ISurrenderSuckers after raising a white flag]].
