Here r some interesting goofs from the movie.
GOOFS FOR TITANIC (1997) Continuity Jack won his ticket by beating 2 pair with a full house. However, when we first see Jack's hand, he has nothihg that could be made in to a full house, and only draws one card. Revealing mistakes A strip of desert is visible between the dock and the Titanic when docked at Southampton. Anachronisms Jack claims to have gone ice fishing on Lake Wissota, which wasn't created until five years after the Titanic sank. Jacks claims to have visited the Santa Monica Pier, which did not begin construction until 1916. The pipe frames supporting the third class berths have set-screw speed rail fittings, not developed until 1946. Continuity In the scene where Jack is teaching Rose to spit, there is no spit on his chin as he starts to turn around to face the ladies, but by the time he has completed his turn he has some on his chin. The main characters have lunch in the Palm Court/Verandah on A Deck. These were not used for dining, although passengers could order tea or a small snack. Cal orders lamb with mint sauce for himself and Rose. Lamb was only available for dinner on the ship, while mutton was reserved for lunch. The lamb was prepared in the D-Deck galley and would not have been served in the Palm Court. Revealing mistakes While Jack and Rose are walking on the promenade the day after he rescues her, a small hill with a building on it is visible over Jack's shoulder and above the ship. Continuity Jack takes Rose and Molly's arms to go into dinner. They start walking, but in the next shot they are still standing apart. Factual errors The worship services held at 10:30 on Sunday April 14th, 1912, in the First Class Dining Room were open to all passengers of the ship. Anachronisms "Eternal Father Strong To Save" is sung during the worship service; the verse that begins "Lord, guard and guide the men who fly/ Through the great spaces in the sky" was written by Mary C. D. Hamilton in 1915. Factual errors During the scene when Rose "flies" from the ship's bow, the sunlight is clearly falling almost exactly straight across the ship from left to right. On the evening of the 14th, the ship would be steaming somewhere between WSW and SW; the lighting in the movie would indicate that the sun is between SSE and SE, when it actually would have been between W and WNW. Factual errors Workers in the Titanic's engine room had to wear thick protective clothing to shield them from the heat generated by the engines. Anachronisms The gauges in the engine room are fitted with sweated tubing fittings, a plumbing technique not available when the ship was constructed. The fittings should have been threaded brass. Factual errors There was no door between boiler room 6 and the cargo area (and no access to any but authorized crew). If there had been a door, it would have entered the third cargo area aft, not the one where the Renault was stored. When Captain Smith enters the wheelhouse, the ship's telegraph is set to "Full Reverse" instead of "All Stop". Factual errors First Officer Murdoch did not shoot anyone, including himself. It is impossible for voices to echo in the middle of the North Atlantic unless there is a large, flat object like a ship nearby. |

Since when is 2340 to 0220 four hours?
Everyone is also missing this one: Opening scene of submersible descending with its lights on. These craft are run on batteries. They need to conserve their power to maximize the time they have at depth. It would never have its external lights on on the way down. |

I trust you did not like James Cameron's Titanic. Was it the success that put you off the film?

no, just the way the film was played. The scenes with jack and rose bored me. The word false kept on cropping up in my mind.
The storyline wasted it for me. |

You won't be buying the special edition in October then?
Pitty, because it's going to be a great disc-set. O well, I suppose there will be loads of critics sinking that masterpiece too. After all: The critics were wrong about the first prediction that the movie would not be a success. Funny how such a "bad" film was the first DVD ever to ship over a million units upon its release in 1999. Let's not mention box-office totals. Don't worry Johno. There's nothing wrong with your taste in films. The problem lies with the rest of us and the rest of the world I suppose. This is clearly not a good film. People were payed and forced to watch it... Continue to believe that one. |
