    • Trivia
      Shot in sequence, taking advantage of the fact that the principals became dirtier and more tattered and suffered injuries - some real and some artificial - as they progressed.
    • Goofs
      Linda Rogo had to change into her husband's shirt because she didn't wear a bra and couldn't climb in her gown. However, when she is in the smokestack about to climb the ladder, a bra strap is visible. In the DVD commentary, Stella Stevens acknowledged that she saw this error in the rushes and pleaded to have it removed, but to no avail.
    • Quotes

      Mrs. Linda Rogo: I saw a young officer on deck the other day, and he looked DAMN familiar... even with his clothes on.

      Mike Rogo: So... he recognized ya, so?

      Mrs. Linda Rogo: So doesn't that bother you?

      Mike Rogo: If it bothered me, I wouldn'ta married ya.

      Mrs. Linda Rogo: Well first you arrested me six times.

      Mike Rogo: Well I had to figure out some way to keep you off the streets... until you'd marry me.

    A disaster film that keeps you on the edge of your seat
    I have seen many disaster films in my day but The Poseidon Adventure is truly a film that will leave you on the edge of your seat because each moment after the being hit by a tidal wave is unpredictable. The survivors have to find a way out of the ship and a preacher (Gene Hackman) has to lead them out that becomes dangerous and often scary situations they face. Each cast member played their parts with emotion that becomes dramatic at times. All in all I thought this was better then the Titanic. I know they did a remake of this film in 2005 but as I always say, stick with the classic.
