During the chase through Noumea, Capt. Binghamton (Joe Flynn) falls into a tray of cream pastries, getting the whipped cream all over his face, glasses, and uniform. But shortly thereafter he is back in the chase with no trace of any of the cream (or even a stain on his uniform), though he had no time to change nor to clean up.
Binghampton says one day he could be chief of staff. The top naval officer, however is called the chief of naval operations.
