Corrected entry: There is a shot looking down at the Titanic leaving the harbor, if you look closely, people on one side of the ship are on the other side as well.
Corrected entry: When Jack and Rose are talking in the gym, with their backs to the windows, you can see the etched markings in the corner of various panes, showing that they are in fact modern safety glass. (01:15:25)
Correction: If you look at any actual photo of the real Titanic's gym windows you can see that the glass is correct.
Corrected entry: At the end of the movie when Rose releases Jack in the water, she hears the lifeboat with the crew coming back for survivors. She lifts her head up and sees the boat going in the opposite direction of her. She then jumps off the piece of wood and goes to her left to get the whistle. When she blows the whistle she once again looks straight up ahead and sees the boat. How could the boat have gone all the way around to her new position in a matter of a few seconds?
Corrected entry: When the grand staircase area is sinking, a close-up reveals the clock being covered with water. Seconds later a long shot shows John Jacob Astor hanging on to a pillar and the clock is visible (behind him) with a foot of water still to go before water comes crashing through the dome.
Correction: It's actually the other way round: The close-up with the submerged clock comes after the shot of J.J.Astor. Therefore, the water is rising as it should be.
Corrected entry: After Tommy is shot and Fabrizio puts on his life jacket and ends up in the water, water from a porthole is sucking people into the ship, Fabrizio is sucked near the porthole. He stops himself by placing one hand on the side of the window, and one on the top of the window. Suddenly it's a stuntman, with heavy black gloves and long sleeves. Fabrizio saves himself, and it's his arm and hand once more.
Correction: It's the bare-handed Fabrizio in all three shots. I wonder how someone saw gloves here.
Correction: The shadow on his hands makes it appear that he is wearing black gloves.
Corrected entry: J. Bruce Ismay steps onto one of the first lifeboats but on the actual Titanic, he got into the 2nd to last lifeboat.
Correction: When Bruce Ismay steps onto a lifeboat when all the boats on one side are already in the water. It's hard to tell, but it looks as if this boat was one of the last ones that were lowered properly.
Corrected entry: Young Rose has green eyes, but Old Rose has blue eyes. Later in the film, there is a fade between the faces of young & old Rose and this time old Rose's have magically changed to match Kate Winslet's eyes.
Correction: Both young and old Rose's eyes have a greenish tinge (very distinct also at the beginning when old Rose sees her drawing on TV), but old Rose's eyes have become pale the way it happens when people get old.
Corrected entry: Haven't you noticed that not even once the second class passengers are mentioned? Even when the woman in the third class says, "When they're finished putting the first class people in the boats, then they'll start with us." Second class'd go before third.
Correction: When Jack is getting handcuffed to the pipe someone says to the master of arms: "Sir, I need you in the second-class purser's office. There's a mob up there."
Corrected entry: When Cal is chasing Jack and Rose through the dining room and shooting at them, the windows in the background have sunlight shining through. Since the Titanic sunk in the middle of the night, no light should be coming through the windows. Hard to believe the crew took hours to light a "night" scene and didn't notice the sunbeams in it. This mistake can also be seen in a still photo in various movie tie-in books. (02:15:30)
Correction: The grand-staircase set which included the dining saloon was built above a tank in a studio which had no way of light getting in (shown in a picture in the book about the movie). Also, like the dome the windows were lit from the back at night.
Corrected entry: When the old Rose is shown at her house, she has three fish in the fish bowl. When she arrives at the place where they are exploring the Titanic, She unloads her fish bowl, which now has five fish.
Correction: There are four fish at home (one grazing the pebbles, thus a little harder to spot) and definitely four when Rose arrives on the Keldish, although I wouldn't put my hand into the fire that they're the same four, but anyway.
Corrected entry: Right after Jack and Rose kiss on the front of the boat, the camera slowly backs up to behind the boat so you can see the entire thing. It is a continuous motion for the camera, and Jack and Rose are still at the front of the boat for most of the shot, but if you keep your eye on them, they disappear by the time the camera gets to the back of the boat...
Corrected entry: When Jack hands Rose the note at the dinner table the paper is yellow. Later when the note is read the paper is white.
Corrected entry: In the scene when Jack is dressed for dinner and waiting at the bottom of the grand staircase, Rose is shown taking Jack's arm twice as they are going to the dining room, once close up and once again in the background when Cal is talking.
Corrected entry: When Jack and Rose are dancing at the party in steerage, whilst spinning each other around, the camera shows each of them from each other's perspective. However, they are both shown as going in different directions - one clockwise and one anti-clockwise.
Corrected entry: Right after Jack rescues Rose from her slip, the crewman show up. He tells Jack not to move. Jack stands up in his stocking feet, his pants and shirt. Next scene the "Master of Arms" is putting on the handcuffs and Jack has his jacket on too.
Correction: There is plenty of time for Jack to get dressed, and I can't see a reason why he wouldn't have been allowed to.
Corrected entry: At the very begining (before Rose is on the Titanic) the mother gets out of the car twice.
Correction: The first person who comes out of the car is "Trudy" the maid - then the mother.
Corrected entry: At the end of the movie, you can see one of the workers from the boiler rooms in steerage just as Cal comes looking for the little girl, but in history books, no one from the boiler rooms survived.
Correction: No one from the engine room survived, not the boiler rooms. Some stokers served as crew in lifeboats.
Corrected entry: When the ship is sinking, and Rose and Jack are running through the inside of the ship, you can blatantly see cameras and crew outside the window.
Correction: If you look closely at the people running by they have something white on which looks like the lifejackets. So the "crew and cameras" are people and objects that were on the Titanic as it is sinking.
Corrected entry: On the morning before Titanic sank (Sunday) Jack tries to go to the first class dining room to see Rose (I think it was the dining room). In real life, EVERYONE was allowed to go to the service, not just first class, though there were services in all the classes, but everyone was invited to attend.
Correction: There were services in each class, but in their own areas of the ship: First and second class in their own dining saloons, not all in the first class one.
Corrected entry: If the Old Rose was telling the story to the crew from her perspective, then how did she know what the other characters in the movie were saying? There are conversations throughout the movie that Rose could not have heard.
Correction: This bothered James Cameron at first as well, but he figured that someone who was on the Titanic would pay close attention to the hearings straight after the disaster and subsequently, especially after the wreck was discovered. (She does after all ask her granddaughter to turn up a Titanic related news report). Rose would probably be well acquainted with the history side of this story, and she was telling it to a boat full of Titanic enthusiasts and experts.
Correction: When the Titanic leaves the harbor the (surprisingly few) people one can see in the front shot are distributed randomly. What is symmetrical are some pieces of equipment along the railing.
