During the part of the movie where the USS Alabama is sinking deeper into the ocean a shot of the depth gauge was made showing the sub passing 1800 feet at a quick rate. About 20-30 seconds of shots were shown after this to further dramatize the peril of submarine and then the scene cut back to the depth gauge. This time however, the gauge was moving much slower and only shown the sub had sunk 15-20 more feet without any reason for the sudden slowdown in decent. See more...
Crimson Tide (1995) - 4 trivia entries
Directed by Tony Scott, starring Denzel Washington, Gene Hackman, Viggo Mortensen (add more)
Quentin Tarantino did uncredited script work on this film.
In the beginning of the movie, where it shows a rather scenic footage of the sub about to dive, the exact shot was also used in G.I. Jane. Note that Crimson Tide was directed by Tony Scott and GI Jane by brother Ridley. A bit of sibling teamwork?
I just saw the movie Crash Dive 2 (which is also about submarines and also involves an enemy Akula-class sub) and it has many recycled scenes from Crimson Tide. To name a few: the scene where the sub does a "snap shot" of two torpedoes, the scene of the Akula being hit, and the scene where a torpedo barely misses the heroes' sub.
Not only is the opening footage recycled in GI Jane, so is one of the officers. The Weapons Officer "Weps" also appears as the terroristic Drill Instructor, Viggo Mortensen with a Kitchener moustache.
