Visible crew/equipment: Near the end of the owner's speech near the start, there is a brief circling shot with a boom operator sitting on the railing behind him.
Deep Rising (1998)
1 visible crew/equipment mistake - chronological order
Directed by: Stephen Sommers
Starring: Famke Janssen, Treat Williams, Anthony Heald, Kevin J. O'Connor
Continuity mistake: When the owner of the ship is screaming, "This equipment is state of the art. Top of the line," he goes from facing the Captain behind him to facing forward, between cuts.
Joey: Don't say I never gave you nothing.
Trivia: The character of Finnegan was written with Harrison Ford in mind, but Ford passed on the project. As a result, the producers got cold feet and the budget was slashed substantially.
Question: Finnegan put only one torpedo through the hole in the side of his boat. Would only one be enough to destroy the whole cruise ship?
Answer: According to some good old Google Fu, a single torpedo hit could absolutely destroy and sink a cruise ship since they're not as fortified as a warship would be. They're meant to carry passengers, not go to war. Granted, it probably wouldn't be quite as dramatic an explosion, but you could also argue that any other explosives on Finnegan's ship, plus the cruise ship's fuel, could have been ignited in the blast. You also have to factor in that the ship was already heavily damaged from the monsters attacking and was in a more fragile state than it would otherwise be.
