    • Trivia
      Many members of the cast and crew came down with minor infections due to being in dirty water for so many hours a day.
    • Goofs
      Screw type propellers designed to work in water, are very poor at moving air, as they are not aerofoil type propellers like the ones used on airplanes. Therefore they would not be able to cause a huge pressure difference in a bow thruster pipe.

      Dylan Johns: Does your husband...

      Maggie James: oh, does that work much?

      Dylan Johns: What?

      Maggie James: The tentative mention of a husband I'm supposed to correct, even though you clocked my wedding finger twice already.

    It is like 'Titanic' meets 'The Towering Inferno'

    In 'Poseidon' Josh Lucas plays Dylan Johns, a professional gambler. When a freak 'rogue wave' incident causes the Poseidon cruise ship to capsize, Dylan has gamble for his life. Deciding not to listen to the captain (Andre Braugher), Dylan tries leads a group of passengers (Kurt Russell, Richard Dreyfuss, Emmy Rossum, etc.) to safety.

    This is a modern remake of the 1972 'The Poseidon Adventure'. I do not remember the original, but I think this one live up to its name. It is like 'Titanic' meets 'The Towering Inferno'. There is a lot of intense action that keeps one on the edge of their seat.

    There is not much drama and I do not think it will add too much to the original story. I also noticed that the movie is just over an hour and a half, it is not very long. However, I think audiences will enjoy the intensity of this film.
