Factual error: When they first arrive on the Nautilus, they look out the large porthole and see the crew on the bottom of the ocean burying one of the crew, but the ocean would be much deeper than that, since the Nautilus is at the surface.
20,000 Leagues Under the Sea (1954)
1 suggested correction
Directed by: Richard Fleischer
Starring: Kirk Douglas, James Mason, Peter Lorre, Paul Lukas
Revealing mistake: In the scene near the end when water is filling up the submarine, Kirk Douglas begins fighting with a member of the crew to escape. As Douglas hits him his false sideburn falls off and flies across the screen.
Captain Nemo: Think of it. On the surface there is hunger and fear. Men still exercise unjust laws. They fight, tear one another to pieces. A mere few feet beneath the waves their reign ceases, their evil drowns. Here on the ocean floor is the only independence. Here I am free! Imagine what would happen if they controlled machines such as this submarine boat. Far better that they think there's a monster and hunt me with harpoons.
