Trivia:
Port Angeles, the town that Howard & Elizabeth Griffin ('Chad Tyler’ & 'Angie Milliken’ ) called from the "Occupational Hazard" is on the Olympic Peninsula of Washington, across the Juan de Fuca Strait from Victoria, the capital of British Columbia. A major fault line runs along the middle of the strait, with the result that the two cities are on different tectonic plates. moreGoofs:
Factual errors: The squid emits ink when attacking its victims. Squids only emit ink defensively when fleeing. moreQuotes:
Whip Dalton: [Discussing plan to kill the giant squid] How do we keep her from attacking the boat?Dr. Herbert Talley: [Shows him the recording device] We'll repel her with this. It contains recorded sonar waves given off by a mature sperm whale hunting for squid.
Whip Dalton: [Giving an opinion] She killed a whale.
Dr. Herbert Talley: [Reassuring Whip] Only an infant. She wouldn't dare attack a whale the size of the Privateer.

i wasn't impressed with this,the condensed version of the movie,which was originally a miniseries.i found this version didn't have a lot of flow to it.there seems to be some things out of context.i will say,though,that the beast is pretty impressive to look at,and would definitely inspire fear in me if i ran across it in real life.some of the dialogue is not always the best,but the actors do what they can with what they have.William Peterson(Pre CSI)stars,along with Charles Martin Smith,Larry Drake and Karen Silas.i think this movie had the potential to be exciting,and maybe the uncut version will be.for me,though,this cut version rates a 5/10 at best
