When Andrews is on the deck and the crew are lowering the boats, he walks down a staircase, (not the grand) you see a vent, used to bring air into the ship. But all of the vents had motors, and you can see this one doesn't; even though it is still there on the wreck. See more...

At the party in steerage, a foreign-speaking man is speaking with Rose and she says "I'm sorry, I can't understand you." The man is Swedish, probably a friend of Sven's, and he's saying to her "Talar fröken svenska?" In English that translates to "Does the miss/lady speak Swedish?" which she obviously doesn't.

While the set designers duplicated the woodwork detailing of the Titanic, they used "flat-sawn" oak which has a completely different appearance from the more expensive "quarter-sawn" oak used in the Titanic (and virtually all Victorian and Edwardian cabinet work). Check it against archival photos.

When the ship is sinking and the water crashes through the big glass dome above the grand staircase, in the first take the water actually broke the staircase off the wall and crashing into the actors who were in the scene.

During the filming of the sinking, Kate Winslet was the only cast member not allowed to wear a wet suit underneath her dress, due to the fact it would show.

Kate Winslet badgered and bribed director James Cameron into getting this role the following ways: Once she sent him a rose with a card. Another was when she rang him up while he was driving in his Humvee and tearfully said, 'You don't understand! I am Rose! I don't understand why you're trying out someone else!' She eventually landed the role.

Mrs Astor, who was in a 'delicate condition'- did actually survive and made it to New York on the Carpathia, along with a maid.

Along with playing Spicer Lovejoy in the 1997 film, actor David Warner portrayed actual Titanic passenger Laurence Beasley in the 1979 TV movie "S.O.S. Titanic".

Director James Cameron has two cameo roles in this film. First, he is just below Lovejoy during the below decks party (with a grey beard), and secondly, he is standing behind Fabrizio on the deck waiting for a lifeboat when Murdoch starts shooting.

Though James Cameron surrendered his director's pay check to make the film the way he wanted, he did retain his writer's fee, which was pretty big by itself.

The "Titanic" haircut popularized by Leonardo DiCaprio (Jack) was banned in Afghanistan by the Taliban rulers. They claimed it interfered with Muslim prayer.

In the movie, the seaman steering Molly Brown's boat says "There'll be one less in this boat if you don't shut that 'ole in your face." As in many items with the movie, the line is authentic. Except 1) it was not said to Molly Brown, 2) it was not said by that seaman, and 3) it was not said in that lifeboat. Check A Night to Remember for the actual circumstances. (In fact, Molly Brown not only wasn't subdued by the loud-mouthed seaman, she faced him down later.)

The reception room's double doors leading into the first class dining saloon only have bronze grilles in the movie. In 1912, there was actually a pane of glass in each door with the grilles behind them on the dining room side. On the collector's DVD commentary, James Cameron mentions they didn't discover this until a later Titanic expedition in 2001 - that's why this is trivia, rather than a mistake.
