Trivia:

Goofs:

Continuity: In the opening scene when Surprise is attacked by Acheron, Captain Aubrey gives to command to "run out the starboard battery". We then cut to the gun deck showing the guns not yet run out. However the ship has already been "cleared for action" and a previous shot shows the starboard guns run out ready to fire.

Quotes:

[first lines]
Preserved Killick, Captain's Steward: [taking egg from chicken coop] Come on, come on. It's all right.

"We have Surprise on our side..."

And surprised I was. After hearing a friend rant endlessly about it, and having nothing to do one Friday night, I rented Master and Commander. The marketing staff should be cackling in glee, that a female in her 20's, would love this movie. It's an amazing movie. Russell Crowe is a force of nature, and all the other actors from Paul Bettany to Billy Boyd give wonderful performances. I especially enjoyed the details of life at sea, though most would call them boring. The day after my 5-day rental, I had to run to the nearest shop and buy the DVD, and have since re-watched it endlessly. I've never seen a more beautifully adapted, filmed and acted movie. Five stars out of five.
