Directed by: David S. Ward
Starring: Bruce Dern, Kelsey Grammer, Rip Torn, Rob Schneider, Harry Dean Stanton, Lauren Holly
Genres: Comedy
Trivia: In the scene when Lauren Holly, gives Kelsey Grammer, a kiss, her hitting her elbow was not in the original script. She really did hit her "funny bone" before walking off camera. The director had decided to keep it in the movie so they had to film an alternate shot of Grammer, laughing when it happened.
Trivia: Tom Arnold turned down the role of Lt. Com. Dodge to play the lead in "McHale's Navy."
Continuity mistake: When they are attempting to get "between the screws" of the tanker, the underwater footage shows twin screws, but the surface footage only shows wake from 1 single mid-ship propeller.
Pascal: Jesus, Buckman! This stuff has been on the Stingray since Korea! This can expired in 1966!
Buckman: What's the matter, sir? It still tastes like cream corn.
Pascal: Except it's deviled ham.
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.
Answer: Dodge says "We live to fight another day, Captain." suggesting that the photo is of the previous captain of the Stingray.
