Other mistake: In all scenes where the submarine is running on the surface the surface search radar is rotating CCW (viewed from above). All surface search radars rotate CW.
K-19: The Widowmaker (2002)
1 other mistake
Directed by: Kathryn Bigelow
Starring: Liam Neeson, Harrison Ford, Christian Camargo, Peter Stebbings, Roman Podhora, Sam Spruell
Factual error: Many shots of the submarine in drydock show Halifax, Nova Scotia's MacKay and MacDonald bridges in the background.
Capt. Mikhail Polenin: They'll send you to the Gulag, like your father.
Captain Alexei Vostrikov: Well, it's a family tradition, isn't it?
Trivia: There was never a mutiny aboard the real "K-19" as depicted in the film. In real life, the captain ordered all firearms to be thrown overboard, to avoid a mutiny.
Question: In the film there is a painting of a ship. Seems like a modern painting. I was wondering if anyone knows the artist of the painting?
