Quotes

Rose: Mr. Andrews. I saw the iceberg, and I see it in your eyes. Now tell me the truth.

Mr. Andrews: The ship will sink.

Rose: You're certain?

Mr. Andrews: Yes, in an hour, or so, all of this will be at the bottom of the Atlantic.

It is fairly well known that James Cameron built a virtual full-size replica of the ship for shooting the exterior scenes. However only the Starboard side of the ship was constructed; when scenes were required that need to show Portside Cameron employed a method known as 'flipping.' For example, in the early scenes of the film we see Titanic at 'Southampton' and passengers boarding the port side. This was achieved by reversing the camera angles. All the signs on passing carriages/vans and White Star logos were printed back-to-front so that when the scene was printed it could be reversed thus showing both sides of the ship! The problem is that in reality the Starboard side of Titanic was NOT a mirror image of the Portside. On one side of the forward boat deck there were entrances to the First Class Gymnasium and forward Grand Staircase, while on the other side there were the windows of the Officers' Quarters and the entrance to the Wireless Room. On Cameron's Titanic you get to see the gym etc. on both sides of the ship. See more...

Trivia

Using DVD frame-by-frame, one can see the one-legged prostitute's picture; the full body picture, not the ones of her hands. Watching normally, the page is turned just as the camera view switches to it, too fast to actually see it. See more...

Titanic

Revealing: This mistake, as far as I know, can only be seen in widescreen. After Rose, Jack, Tommy & Fabrizio have run on deck (after breaking the gate down), the camera looks down the ship toward the bow. If you look at this in slow-mo, you can see city lights in the top-left hand corner of the picture. I know these are city lights because in a book about the movie, it shows a similar picture.
