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: Darryl Hannah had to wear a specially designed synthetic hair wig for the underwater shots. Notice that her wavy hair stays wavy underwater; real wavy hair goes straight underwater.

Answer: The sea hag gives Madison a set of instructions she has to carry out, and tells her that she can only survive out of the ocean for six days. She also tells her she has to wet her tail every day, which is why Madison is seen in the bathtub.

That's why she took a bath that night and got her legs wet turning them into fins.
