Continuity mistake: When Allen and Madison are walking along, they pass a preztel stand, and you can see a woman walk past the stand and look at it. In the next shot there is nobody at the pretzel stand. (00:43:50)

Suggested correction: You see the woman walking along just past the pretzel stand and beyond as the camera pans up.

Plot hole: Why would Madison take a bath in steaming hot water? The ocean water is warm or cold depending on the area of the ocean. So, it makes no sense as to why she does this.

Suggested correction: Not sure I would call this a plot hole. It's more of a question. While she is used to the warm or cold water of the ocean, she may prefer to have the hot water once she realises that it's an option for her.

Question: When Dr. Cornbluth first sees the mermaid under water and unsuccessfully tries to take her picture, how come he has an oxygen tank AND an air hose coming from the boat topside? I thought it may be a mistake but I am not a scuba diver so I though I would ask.

Chosen answer: Whilst it may be a tad unusual, each system serves as a back-up for the other.
