I belive Ramius opens the outer doors, to show his crew that he's taking the threat seriously, but not flooding the tubes, not to provoce Dallas.
Yeah, I know, it's a movie, and not a very realistic one, but it's the best I've got to contribute with!  |
It was actually the other way around.
Flood tube(s), do not open outer doors.
The Cpt. of the Dallas later calling the Russian Cpt a "cool customer" of sorts. Accuracy of hollywood always being questionable, as well as the spelling of quotes.  |
Oh, darn.  Well, well, thanks for straightening things up!
