WHOOPS...
The film itself carries some parallels to the story of the Titanic; in fact, at one point, the captain is ordered by the rep of the ship's owners to push the ship full speed, against the captain's wishes; not that it makes much difference here. The difference also is that the Poseidon is an old ship, on her last voyage; Titanic was new when it sank. Frankly, the main reason I went to see this in the theater when I was a kid was because I knew that a tidal wave hits the ship; I wanted to see that wave - it's a brief scene. Nielsen as the captain orders the ship to turn away from the wave and causes the ship to turn over . Nielsen was already causing havoc before his Naked Gun films...
