Trivia
Angered by the filmmakers' attempts to enlarge a pond in Castle Combe, Wiltshire, UK, for a scene in the movie, Sir Ranulph Fiennes - then a member of 22 Regiment, the "SAS" - set charges in the dam they had built (using the Army's explosives) and attempted to destroy it. He was arrested, and as a result he was dismissed from the regiment and served out the rest of his military career in the Royal Scots Greys. See more »Goofs
Revealing mistakes: When the Flounder is first seen "sailing," not only are the sails hanging limp but there is an obvious stirring behind the ship from its propeller, indicating that it's being powered by an engine. See more »Quotes
