Audio problem: When the crew are running around the passages, a guy with a beard yells something at Bud, and then uses a fire hydrant to put out a small fire. Funny, it doesn't make a noise.
Audio problem: Before the SEALs go down, the commodore asks the depth of the rig. Wilhite (the guy sitting down) tells him but speaks in Kirland's voice.
Factual error: [Special Edition] The Statue of Liberty is incorrectly shown to be facing the Narrows bridge.
Bud Brigman: The guy is on his own, he's cut off from his chain of command, he's showing signs of pressure-induced psychosis, and he has a nuclear weapon. So as a personal favour to me, could you put your tongue in neutral for a while?!
Trivia: In 1987 Thomas Knoll made a program called "Display", as a side project. He showed it to his brother who worked at Industrial Light & Magic, and they used Display as the basis for their own effects program, which was used to create the alien water tube. The software was refined and named Photoshop, eventually demonstrated to Adobe in 1988, who bought the rights to distribute it.
Question: What was Lindsey referring to when she called Coffey "Roger Ramjet"?
Answer: She's comparing the overzealous, gung-ho Coffey to the 1960s cartoon character, Roger Ramjet, a frenetic, extremely patriotic, though not particularly bright American-hero guy. He worked for the U.S. government and routinely saved the world, using energy pills that gave him brief increased strength.
Answer: Dudley Do-right, Inspector Clouseau or Maxwell Smart, only in a '50's space cartoon, that's Roger Ramjet (I imagine Buzz Lightyear is the nearest pop cultural successor).
Answer: Roger Ramjet was a 1960's American cartoon character who was extremely patriotic, but dimwitted.
