Full Fathom Five (film)

Full Fathom Five is a 1990 action film, written by Bart Davis and directed by Carl Franklin, starring Michael Moriarty, Maria Rangel, and Diego Bertie. It was shot in Peru.

Full Fathom Five has obvious flaws, but Carl Franklin earned praise for his ability to work on a low budget. However, technical accuracy was not a priority the submarine warfare tactics used are absurd and the military structure, uniforms, insignia, and jargonincluding those purporting to be the United States Navyare entirely imaginary. Two blatant examples are the insignia worn where the rank designations should be on the Americans khaki uniforms the Production Team used US Navy Academy Midshipmans Rank, and the name of the Soviet boat Alpha Victor Three class submarine CCCP Kirov. There is an Alfa class of submarines, there is a Victor III class of submarines, CCCP is faux Cyrillic for the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, and the lead ship of a class of battlecruisers was named Kirov, but the combination is doubtful. The novel, Full Fathom Five, however, has no such technical flaws,citation needed and has been published in several languages, including Chinese and Japanese.
