** Actually, tsunamis can cause what looks like either an unusually low tide (the old "water retreating rapidly") OR an unusually high tide in the minutes before the wave arrives. It depends entirely on the local geography and the direction the wave arrives in.

* DuelingMovies: Set against ''Film/{{Armageddon}}'', a considerably more action-packed movie with nearly twice the budget. They were released the same summer, and both did well at the box office, probably because they took such different approaches to the material that they barely qualified as "dueling".

Added DiffLines:

* ScienceMarchesOn: When the film was made, scientists believed that a large tsunami would suck back the ocean water, thus briefly looking like an unusually ''low'' tide, before the cresting wave crashed over everything. This is shown in the movie when Tea Leoni is killed. However, at the time the movie was made, an actual tsunami had never been filmed. The 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami, which was filmed, showed that no such sudden retreat of water is observed. Instead there is a steady inrush of water, which looks more like the old name for a tsunami--"tidal wave".

* Filming the highway scene was a rather brilliantly handled puzzle. Each truck you see in the scene actually held bathrooms or a food stand. A radio transmitter was brought in and all the cars were told to tune into a specific station for direction - that's how everyone was coordinated.
