Did You Know?
| Trivia | After producing Leviathan (1989) for about $30 million, Dino De Laurentiis, albeit uncredited, decided to finance this low budget version of his own bigger budgeted movie. He hired David Coleman to rewrite a 250 pages draft by Colin Wilson. Coleman's work was written in English but it had to be translated into Italian for De Laurentiis and into Spanish for director Juan Piquer Simón who didn't speak English. See more » |
| Goofs | The diving suits worn for diving at a depth of 25000 feet are normal diving wet suits. Diving at such a depth is completely impossible in such a suit. Not to mention that the diver should undergo a very lengthy compression / decompression cycle. See more » |
