The top mistakes in Down Periscope http://www.moviemistakes.com/film374 en Sat, 04 Feb 2012 06:55:18 +0000 10008 When the submarine rises in the waters of Norfolk and you see Norfolk in the background, there is one blatant problem. There are NO mountains in Norfolk. Most of Norfolk, Virginia, is below sea level. 90118 When Captain Dodge is sitting down to talk to Lake, you see the boom mic follow him down. 33584 On the type of submarine Dodge is commanding, you must climb up to the conning tower to use the periscope. The periscope is not accessible inside the sub itself. 2421 During the final chase scene, Captain Dodge says that it's overcast, and they surface. The first shot of the Stingray shows a hazy day. When the Orlando surfaces afterwards, it's clearly that one piece of stock footage of a Los Angeles-class submarine surfacing - not only is it sunny, but the ship shoots up from an emergency fast rise. After that, the shots of the Stingray in pursuit, and that of the torpedoes hitting the target ship, show it to be sunny rather than overcast. <em>[It's not just stock footage of any old submarine surfacing. It is in fact the shot of the submarine in Tom Clancy's The Hunt For Red October surfacing - exactly the same footage. Some kind of in-joke, perhaps?]</em> 90179 When Dodge Say's "Good ole Graham" you can see the mic on top of the screen.
