Mistakes

The Eindhoven Lion exploding should almost be akin to a nuclear bomb going off. The boat they escape on would have been incinerated from the blast, or at the very least blown off the water. See more...

Trivia

When the oil tanker blows up, if you slow the video down you can see a cow go flying out of the explosion in the upper right corner of the screen. See more...

Genres: Action, Romance, Thriller

Comments made in brackets are corrections from other visitors. As such, any aggressive/abusive corrections (and I get quite a few) written as if they're comments I've made myself will be ignored. To submit your own corrections for mistakes, just click the edit icon under an entry, then choose "correct entry". Some entries have "duplicated entry" after them - these are entries which were already listed on the main page, but were submitted again. I occasionally leave these online for a while, just in case they were moved in error, so don't worry about pointing them out to me.

Entry Whilst the ship is slowing down, the Scottish crewman is giving a running commentary of the speed decrease. When the boat comes to a rest, he looks bewildered and says "zero". A few shots later, the same exact same scene is duplicated with the same bewildered look saying the same thing. [The shot is not the same. In the first she he is moving around. If you look at the white panel it is obvious. In the second shot of him saying Zero, he is not moving.]

Entry When Annie and Alex are boarding the Sebourn Legend for the first time, they are approached by Dante, the cruise photographer. He takes a posed shot of them, but when Alex and Annie are walking away from him up the stairs, he keeps taking pictures of the backs of their heads! What kind of professional photographer would waste film on utterly useless shots? [Character mistake at best, but not really even that. He is attracted to Annie so much that he keeps taking them, possibly for his own personal benefit. Also, anyone who has ever gone on a cruise knows that photographers taking an insane amount of pictures of the same people is quite common, and they charge a hefty price for them. Wasting a few shots would not be out of line for him at all.]

Entry During the sequence where they are manually turning the thruster, they turn the starboard thruster; from the outside shots, the ship turns to starboard. This is incorrect, the starboard thruster creates thrust from the starboard side, turning the ship to port. [Not true. Look at the bow thruster blades. They are turned at an angle that would in fact move the ship to starboard.]
Entry When they attempt to drop the anchor it is torn off the ship, but when the ship is crashing through the port, you can see the anchor. [There are two anchors. The one that got ripped off the ship was on the port. The other one got stuck and stayed there.]
Entry It is extremely unlikely that the float plane that exploded would carry that much fuel to create that size explosion, also the height of the plane in relation to the ship would also minimise its effects as the further the explosion has to travel, the more it dissipates. [It wasn't the plane's fuel that caused the big explosion, it was the Crude Oil in the gigantic tanker, which it crashed into. The plane's explosion caused a chain reaction which set off the rest of the ship in a huge fireball.]

Entry Geiger gives the crew 15 minutes to evacuate after which he restarts the engines. When he does that, you catch at glimpse of his computer screen. On the screen it says "Course settings Eindhoven Lion". That is incorrect. The name of the ship is Seabourn Legend. Eindhoven Lion is the oil-tanker that the Seabourn legend collides with later in the movie. [That's because Geiger is setting the course settings of the Seabourn Legend towards the Eindhoven Lion - the collision is intentional.]

Entry When Sandra Bullock and the leading man are running through the ship, they smell rotting eggs. He states that it is sulfur. This is incorrect because sulfur is odorless. Hydrogen Sulfide (H2S) is what smells like rotting eggs. [You're corrected your own post. H2S is the SULPHIDE of hydrogen - it is mostly (by weight) sulphur/sulfur. Saying he can smell sulphur (because it is forming aromatic compounds on contact with hydrogen) is perfectly correct.]
