Audio problem: When Dodge and Jackson go outside to put the spotlight on the periscope, Jackson climbs up. He sings the Army theme, be all you can be. You hear Dodge say that's the army not the navy, but if you look at him when he says this, he doesn't even open his mouth.
Down Periscope (1996)
1 audio problem
Directed by: David S. Ward
Starring: Bruce Dern, Kelsey Grammer, Rip Torn, Rob Schneider, Harry Dean Stanton, Lauren Holly
Genres: Comedy
Factual error: When the submarine rises in the waters of Norfolk and you see Norfolk in the background, there is one blatant problem. There are NO mountains in Norfolk. Most of Norfolk, Virginia, is below sea level.
Pascal: Buckman! There was a fingernail in my food, you fat-ass moron! Yesterday, it was a band-aid!
Buckman: I'm sorry, sir. The band-aid was holding the fingernail on.
Trivia: In the scene when Lauren Holly, gives Kelsey Grammer, a kiss, her hitting her elbow was not in the original script. She really did hit her "funny bone" before walking off camera. The director had decided to keep it in the movie so they had to film an alternate shot of Grammer, laughing when it happened.
Question: Whose picture did Dodge salute in his cabin when he said "live to fight another day"?
Answer: Looks like Mush Morton, but that wasn't his ship. The real name of the submarine used in the movie was the Pampanito (SS-383). Her captain was Charles Jackson. It might be his picture on the wall. I can't find a picture of him.
Answer: Dodge says "We live to fight another day, Captain." suggesting that the photo is of the previous captain of the Stingray.
