Directed by: Ron Howard
Starring: Tom Hanks, Eugene Levy, John Candy, Daryl Hannah
Visible crew/equipment: When Madison enters Bloomingdales, you can see the reflection of Ron Howard in one of the mirrors. (00:37:45)
Visible crew/equipment: When Walter Kornbluth rolls down the stairs with the fire hose wrapped around him, to the left of the screen you can see crew equipment come into the screen, then go back out. (01:11:40)
Continuity mistake: When Tom Hanks is in the dinghy by himself, the outboard motor has no cover. He falls into the water and the dinghy circles him several times. One of the shots shows the motor with its cover in place. (It is an Evinrude motor). (00:22:15)
Walter Kornbluth: I was right! Behold the mermaid.
Trivia: The man in charge of the ice skate rentals who tackles Allen when he tries to run out with his skates still on is the film's screenwriter Babaloo Mandel.
Question: When Dr. Cornbluth first sees the mermaid under water and unsuccessfully tries to take her picture, how come he has an oxygen tank AND an air hose coming from the boat topside? I thought it may be a mistake but I am not a scuba diver so I though I would ask.
