Goofs:

Miscellaneous: When you see the train to London passing from the outside, the carriages are the Mk3 type introduced in the early 1980's. But when Dr. Dempsey and the Water Bailiff are talking inside the carriage, the shape of the carriage windows are clearly that of the Mk1 carriages, rarely, if ever, used with Mk3s. more

Very nice., 9 September 1999
Author: G.Spider

A discredited American scientist (played by Ted Danson) is appointed the task of proving once and for all whether there is an unknown species in Loch Ness.

This is a fine family film which manages to be warm and sincere without losing sight of its main theme. There are plenty of interesting characters and moments of humour.

The only problems are the monsters themselves, which have faces like Jurassic Park Raptors. And caves under the castle? Only ten minutes of this were actualy filmed at Loch Ness, most of it taken at another Scottish loch which apparently 'looked more like Loch Ness than Loch Ness itself'.

If you can ignore the odd clanger, however, this is still a film hat's certainly worth seeing.
