Trivia

In one of the deleted scenes, Brock's manager Bobby tells him that they're over-budget, the partners depending on them are pissed, and that they're in serious danger of getting shut down. James Cameron later noted that when he was writing this, he had no idea he would be hearing all these things when the production ran into problems.

Goofs

Thomas Andrews is portrayed as having a soft Irish 'brogue' type accent. He came, in fact, from a staunchly Unionist background in Belfast (his brother was the future Prime Minister of Northern Ireland) and he would have had the same upper class British accent, which was a common feature among the wealthy landed gentry of the period and indeed is still common to this day.

Quotes

[first lines]
Brock Lovett: Thirteen meters; you should see it.
Brock Lovett: [seeing the shipwreck come into view for the first time] OK; take her up and over the bow rail.

Crazy Credits

On domestic prints, the Paramount Pictures closing logo is not seen. Instead the final credit reads, "Produced and Released by Twentieth Century Fox and Paramount Pictures." On international prints, the final credit reads, "Produced and Released by Paramount Pictures and Twentieth Century Fox."

Alternate Versions

The scene where Jack draws Rose, her nude body remained, but the sight of her breasts and two close-up shots of dead bodies floating in the water were removed by the Indian Censor Board, the CBFC (Central Board of Film Certification) with a 'U/A' (unrestricted public exhibition - but with parental guidance) rating. The cuts were restored for the 15th Anniversary release with the same rating.

User Reviews

Amazing in 1997, 2005, 2015, 2030, 3010 & forever more a Masterpiece!

You can watch this movie in 1997, you can watch it again in 2004 or 2009 or you can watch it in 2015 or 2020, and this movie will get you EVERY TIME. Titanic has made itself FOREVER a timeless classic! I just saw it today (2015) and I was crying my eyeballs out JUST like the first time I saw it back in 1998. This is a movie that is SO touching, SO precise in the making of the boat, the acting and the storyline is BRILLIANT! And the preciseness of the ship makes it even more outstanding!

Kate Winslet and Leonardo Dicaprio definitely created a timeless classic that can be watched time and time again and will never get old. This movie will always continue to be a beautiful, painful & tragic movie. 10/10 stars for this masterpiece!
