Throughout the movie, everytime some type of casualty occurs or an alarm sounds, police type lights go off throughout the ship. Submarines don't have flashing lights or grated decks for that matter throughout the ship. The sound of the alarm is enough, since there are no deaf personnel on board a submarine. See more...
Crimson Tide (1995) - 4 trivia entries
Directed by Tony Scott, starring Denzel Washington, Gene Hackman, Viggo Mortensen (add more)
Quentin Tarantino did uncredited script work on this film.
I just saw the movie Crash Dive 2 (which is also about submarines and also involves an enemy Akula-class sub) and it has many recycled scenes from Crimson Tide. To name a few: the scene where the sub does a "snap shot" of two torpedoes, the scene of the Akula being hit, and the scene where a torpedo barely misses the heroes' sub.
In the beginning of the movie, where it shows a rather scenic footage of the sub about to dive, the exact shot was also used in G.I. Jane. Note that Crimson Tide was directed by Tony Scott and GI Jane by brother Ridley. A bit of sibling teamwork?
Not only is the opening footage recycled in GI Jane, so is one of the officers. The Weapons Officer "Weps" also appears as the terroristic Drill Instructor, Viggo Mortensen with a Kitchener moustache.
