Directed by: Stephen Sommers
Starring: Famke Janssen, Treat Williams, Anthony Heald, Kevin J. O'Connor
Joey: Don't say I never gave you nothing.
Trillian St. James: What the hell are these things?
Finnegan: Real unfriendly.
Finnegan: Like a fine wine, I'm aging gracefully, thank you.
Mason: Like a fine wine my ass. You look more like a keg of beer to me.
Continuity mistake: When the owner of the ship is screaming, "This equipment is state of the art. Top of the line," he goes from facing the Captain behind him to facing forward, between cuts.
Trivia: The first of director Stephen Sommers' films to co-star Kevin J. O'Connor. Sommers and O'Connor became friends, and Sommers has cast him repeatedly, giving him supporting roles in the films "The Mummy", "Van Helsing" and "G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra."
Question: Finnegan put only one torpedo through the hole in the side of his boat. Would only one be enough to destroy the whole cruise ship?

Answer: According to some good old Google Fu, a single torpedo hit could absolutely destroy and sink a cruise ship since they're not as fortified as a warship would be. They're meant to carry passengers, not go to war. Granted, it probably wouldn't be quite as dramatic an explosion, but you could also argue that any other explosives on Finnegan's ship, plus the cruise ship's fuel, could have been ignited in the blast. You also have to factor in that the ship was already heavily damaged from the monsters attacking and was in a more fragile state than it would otherwise be.
