Character mistake: When they're reviving Lindsey, Bud screams "fight" and slaps her. watch as she closes her eyes on the second slap while she is supposed to be dead.
Character mistake: When Bud is doing mouth-to-mouth on Lindsay, he's not pinching her nose closed, so all the air he's breathing in is going straight out her nose.
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: Is there any truth to the breathing fluid used in the high pressure suit? Is that a technology actually used and is it really possible to breath and survive like that?
Answer: The technology does exist, yes. Read http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluid_breathing for details.
