Deliberate mistake: As the sub rises backwards to the surface, the stern emerges from the water at a steep angle, then rises near-vertically so that the boat is virtually standing on the tip of its bow. Anything left loose on a countertop would surely fall off. But when the boat falls onto its belly, a close-up shows a pistol sliding off a sink counter into the hand of the Captain- because it's dramatic and cool looking, yet extremely improbable- especially considering that an open tin of shaving foam, its lid and a foam brush all lay on the same counter, undisturbed.

Ending / spoiler
Directed by: David Twohy
Starring: Bruce Greenwood, Matthew Davis, Holt McCallany, David Crow
The submarine shot at the British hospital ship, not a German vessel. Winters wanted to help the survivors, but the other three officers had a scuffle with him and killed him. The boat heads back to the original location. Brice shoots himself in the head. Odell, Claire, Wally and Stumbo (and perhaps a few others) survive and are rescued by a British vessel. The majority of the crew died when a spark ignited the hydrogen that had accumulated in the sub.

Trivia: When Claire is in the Captain's quarters and turns to see the dead Winters' lying in his bunk, two shots that follow show Olivia first turning away from Winters, then emerging from his room into the passageway. Both of these shots were filmed in reverse, then played backwards to make them look more eerie - note the odd movement of her hair, especially in the latter shot. (01:22:40)
