Audio problem: When Dodge and Jackson go outside to put the spotlight on the periscope, Jackson climbs up. He sings the Army theme, be all you can be. You hear Dodge say that's the army not the navy, but if you look at him when he says this, he doesn't even open his mouth.
Down Periscope (1996)
1 audio problem
Directed by: David S. Ward
Starring: Bruce Dern, Kelsey Grammer, Rip Torn, Rob Schneider, Harry Dean Stanton, Lauren Holly
Genres: Comedy
Factual error: Most uniforms in this movie are worn incorrectly. Between wearing belts incorrectly, not wearing ribbons on dress uniform (shore patrol), female hair regulations, shoes, and having ribbons in the wrong order it's like they didn't even try.
Sonar: Sir, it's the Orlando. Somebody just dropped forty-five cents.
Dodge: Are you sure?
Sonar: Oh, yeah. A quarter and...two dimes.
Trivia: Tom Arnold turned down the role of Lt. Com. Dodge to play the lead in "McHale's Navy."
Question: Whose picture did Dodge salute in his cabin when he said "live to fight another day"?
Answer: Looks like Mush Morton, but that wasn't his ship. The real name of the submarine used in the movie was the Pampanito (SS-383). Her captain was Charles Jackson. It might be his picture on the wall. I can't find a picture of him.
