Captain Ahab: Birds... the birds... He rises.
Captain Ahab: By heavens man, we are turned round and round in this world, like yonder windlass, and fate is the handspike.
Captain Ahab: I'll follow him around the Horn, and around the Norway maelstrom, and around perdition's flames before I give him up.
Captain Ahab: I don't give reasons. I give orders.
Ishmael: Queequeg, such behavior isn't Christian. In fact, it's downright pagan and heathenish.
Continuity mistake: During the first "Nantucket Sleigh Ride" with the very first whale harpooned, one of the three ships attached to the whale must cut their rope to save a man who falls overboard. In the following shot, there should only be two taught ropes attached to the whale, but there are still the original three.
Trivia: Orson Welles wrote his own scenes.
