Well, not surprising considering this thread is about the worst movies

For every bad sub movie, there does seem to be a good one out there though!

The worst sub flick I can recall is definately 'USS Poseidon - Phantom below'; I don't think I made it through the first half hour (and I actually paid to hire the dvd!), absolute shocker.

I think without a doubt the movie "Crash Dive" with Michael Dudikoff was the absolute worst submarine movie ever cut and pasted together. I say cut and pasted because, I could identify at least 4 other submarine movies that they took footage from and edited it together to make this submersible turd. If the cinematography was not bad enough the plot of the movie was more than enough to make one gouge their eyes out. First, a former Navy Seal (Dudikoff) in his off time, single-handedly designs an attack submarine that apparently can also launch ballistic missiles. While on sea trials, of course fully armed with nuclear weapons, the submarine at depth receives a distress call from a life raft on the surface, and following the "law of the sea" the submarine surfaces in roiling seas to rescue the people on the life raft. Of course these "survivors" are actually a handful of terrorist who quickly overtake the entire crew and turn the submarine against the US. Dudikoff, who for some reason, was not present on the submarine during it's sea trials, hops on the next available submarine and quickly locate and sneak up on this "modern marvel" that he has designed. To recapture the sub, Dudikoff exits the trailing submarine and SWIMS at depth to his creation and from the outside, opens the airlock and enters the captured submarine. At this point you would think his navy seal training would take over and the sub would be back in his control in short order, but apparently Dudikoff was the bottom of his "BUD/S" class and after getting his butt kicked by several of the terrorist, he has to enlist the help of the crew to assist him in re-taking the submarine.

I saw part of one with William H. Macey, In Enemy Hands I believe was the name. couldn't sit through it.
then thre's my all time Favorite disappointment, U-571. that movie has got to rate as THE worst Uboat movie I've ever seen and I'm surprised no one's named it yet.

There is another thread lambasting bad sub flicks and there was a bit of a jag slamming U-571 for the dud that it is. If I had a choice of being stuck with only one MK 14 torpedo at its worst and most defective and this movie, I would take the bad torpedo.

Anything on the syfy channel.

soopaman2 · 09-09-12, 06:11 PM

I always thought U-571 took the cake.

Jon Bon-Jovi was the highlight of that film, what does that say?

(I dig Jon, but the fact his 2 lines was the best part of the film, ugh!)

Exact quote from movie "this baby runs pretty quiet on electric motors" and the Chinese dropped a DEPTH CHARGE!?!? One charge, somehow, bangs up a 688 SSK. Then, the Chinese shoot a torp. Well that is a disaster. Ugh. Terrible movie.

Congrats. Your thread just made the news

Has anyone seen Ghost Boat the movie? The book was great not so sure on the movie as it goes from a US Fleetboat in 1943 to a english sub which looks like a german uboat.

I have to say the worst I've seen is "Time under Fire"

Synopsis:
A US submarine runs into a time rift. A special unit goes on a mission to see what's on the other side. They find themselves in an alternate dystopian America, now a one-man dictatorship. They decide to help the rebels.

yeah...

BossMark · 09-10-12, 10:53 AM

Without any doubt what so ever U-571

worst one ive seen is "BELOW" with Bruce Greenwood and Olivia Williams, but the best three in my list is:
1. Das Boot--Jürgen Prochnow
2. Enemy Below---Robert Mitchum/Curd Jürgens
3. Crimson Tide---Gene Hackman/Denzel Washington

Wow. I posted something worthy of the news wall!!

Thank you.

So yeah, probably U-571 is my 1st worst pick followed up by "Grey lady down". Which was a 1970's movie about a ohio class that got rammed by a freighter and sank. "What the hell would a missle boat be doing that close to the surface in open ocean in the 1st place".
I have to totally agree with CSA FA on his hit list of best sub movie's though. I have one question that maybe someone could answer for me. Was Das Boot actually filmed on a U-boat and if it was where was it?

If it has Dolph Lundgen in it, you know its bad.
