Trivia

Author Peter Benchley can be briefly glimpsed as one of the U-boat shipmates in the prologue of the longer version of the film. The roles of the young Treece and Coffin were played by the sons of Robert Shaw and Eli Wallach. See more »

Goofs

Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): In one of the underwater scenes, Treece refers to the girl as "Kate," when the character's name is "Gail." See more »

Quotes

Adam Coffin: Kevin sure gives me the willies. He doesn't say much.
Romer Treece: Maybe he don't like you, Adam! He likes me!
