Factual error: In the submarine scene, the crew is sitting in a well illuminated cabin and the surrounding ocean is pitch black. They couldn't possibly have seen the shark outside because of the window's mirror effect.
The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou (2004)
1 factual error
Directed by: Wes Anderson
Starring: Owen Wilson, Willem Dafoe, Bill Murray, Cate Blanchett, Michael Gambon, Jeff Goldblum, Anjelica Huston
Continuity mistake: During the shoot out with the pirates on their secret island, Team Zissous' firearms change from Glocks 21's to Beretta 92FSs'. When the members are holding the guns without firing, they are in fact Glocks. Any scene where they are actually shooting, they are holding Berettas.
Alistair Hennessey: Is this my espresso machine? Wh-what is-h-how did you get my espresso machine?
Bill Ubell: Well... uh... we fuckin' stole it, man.
Trivia: Steve's #1 intern is played by Matthew Gray Gubler. Gubler was actually an intern for director Wes Anderson during production, and Anderson liked him so much, he gave him a role in the film.
