Corrected entry: They are so advanced they can miniaturize anything but have to use primitive morse code to contact the outside world.

Correction: This isn't a mistake just because they use a different form of communication.

Corrected entry: When a crew member of the miniaturised submarine is eaten by the blood cells, the fact that his atoms will return to full size at the same time as the rest of the crew and the submarine (which provides the suspense, such as it is) is completely ignored.

Correction: It is made clear in the book and the movie that the molecules/or atoms ARE NOT shrunk the space between them is reduced - anything left behind would be absorbed by the immune system one atom or molecule at a time.

Corrected entry: By the end of the film all the crew members are brought to lifesize again. However, nothing is being told about what happens to the submarine.

Correction: It was eaten by the white blood cells, just like they showed happening to the villain.

Grant: I don't mean to be inquisitive, but this 'cmdf', for all I know it could stand for the consolidated mobilization of delinquent females.
General Carter: Combined miniature deterrent forces.

More quotes from Fantastic Voyage

Question: Just an observation. There's 5 or 6 minutes of screen time between the initial shrinking of the sub / crew and the start of the 60-minute clock. Shouldn't those minutes have been included in the countdown?

Answer: I think the countdown began after the crew were injected into the patient's body.

No, the countdown started after the second shrink.

Answer: The sub was shrunk in stages, with the lab personnel performing different tasks at each step. The clock automatically reset after each step was completed and as the next shrink phase commenced. The final sixty-minute countdown began after the last shrinking stage and when the sub is injected into the scientist's body.
