| Trivia | Some characters and rooms were renamed to pay homage. The ship's Captain was named Captain Gallico for Writer Paul Gallico, on whose novel this movie was based; the ship's doctor was named Dr. Ballard for Robert Ballard, leader of the 1985 expedition that discovered the remains of R.M.S. Titanic; the ship's lounge was named Jak's Lounge for Jak Castro, President of The Poseidon Adventure Fan Club. See more » |
| Goofs | A woman is able to send a distress email even though the terrorists have cut all ship-to-shore communications, the ship is on emergency power, and the antennas and satellite dishes are underwater and pointed at the ocean floor. See more » |
