They were there.. trust me. I had a good laugh in the theatre. I was almost tossed out with a few shipmates but the people in front and behind us asked that we be allowed to stay. They said we made the movie watchable.
Errors.. Bear with me as it has been a LONG time since I have seen it. These are off the top of my achohol addled mind.
1) Light in the periscope...(I liked the blinking morse code myself).
2) Attack depth (damn they are going to use a lot of air! to mpulse that torp). Make your depth 1200 feet and swoosh, down they go and NAIL the depth as they get there. I loved the creaking noises. Never heard them myself.
3) Torpedo evasion (Fly Big D.. Fly!). If it is range gating on you, going to the roof ain't going to help. You are gonna die on the surface.
4) Weapon active out of the tube. You know, it it is active, the magnetic exploder would have been active. It would not have gone far you know.
5) The CRAZY manevering in close quarters. Wow.. you would have thought they were fighters and could actually see each other. Not too mention that the Typhoon handled like a pregnant cow.
6) OMG the sonar, they could hear a whale fart and tell the what they had for dinner. Actually, they filmed it when I was in and I had heard that had done an actual sonar contact callout. Did you know that a LOT of the control room folks were actual bubbleheads who vollenteered to make it right? They could not stand the thought of a script butchering it.
When the Navy reviewed everything they about had a cow. They had to go back and reshoot a LOT of the control room scenes. The last thing they wanted was authenticity. I am suprised that the had the manual time bearing in the control room. That was the guy who called out 'Possible turn based on aspect change" or something to that effect. I am really supprised they allowed that.
The layout of the sub in general. Were are those spaces?? On that note: If you have seen Stargate Continuim, the interior of the sub is DEAD ON. That is what control and the upper level passageway look like. That is what the wardroom (minus the flat panel garbage) looks like.
Let me get back to you on the rest. I have to get my laserdisc out (yes, I have a WORKING one and I hate to buy duplicates).
I will correct spelling later..Thank you and have a good night
