Factual error: In the submarine scene, the crew is sitting in a well illuminated cabin and the surrounding ocean is pitch black. They couldn't possibly have seen the shark outside because of the window's mirror effect.
The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou (2004)
1 factual error
Directed by: Wes Anderson
Starring: Owen Wilson, Willem Dafoe, Bill Murray, Cate Blanchett, Michael Gambon, Jeff Goldblum, Anjelica Huston
Continuity mistake: Warning: Spoiler. Following the shootout with pirates at the abandoned hotel, it is raining hard as Team Zissou makes their escape. When they arrive at the beach, it has suddenly stopped raining. There has not been a lapse of time, as the action on the beach is a continuation of the running sequence. Secondly, we see a young boy cooking something over a campfire. There is no way he could have built a fire in the heavy rain that was falling just a moment earlier.
Steve Zissou: If we don't handle this right, we're gonna all get murdered... including her unborn British child.
