Deep Rising (1998)
1 visible crew/equipment mistake - chronological order
Directed by: Stephen Sommers
Starring: Famke Janssen, Treat Williams, Anthony Heald, Kevin J. O'Connor
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.
Joey: Don't say I never gave you nothing.
Trivia: The character of Finnegan was written with Harrison Ford in mind, but Ford passed on the project. As a result, the producers got cold feet and the budget was slashed substantially.
Question: There is a scene where Canton says he believes the creatures were a strange offshoot of the ARCHAEA OTTOIA family. He then describes how big they get based on how deep down they are as well as what they do to their victims. Question is does the Archaea Ottoia really exist? If so is anything Canton said about it true? I tried looking for this creature in the search engine but with no luck.
