| 1 | * BoxOfficeBomb: The film grossed $181.7 million worldwide against a $160 million budget. |
| 2 | * CreatorKiller: For Creator/WolfgangPetersen. Despite his track record before ''Poseidon'', he wouldn't direct another movie until 2016, six years before his death. |
| 3 | * TheDanza: Creator/RichardDreyfuss as Richard Nelson. |
| 4 | * MoneyDearBoy: Creator/RichardDreyfuss' [[http://www.movieweb.com/news/richard-dreyfuss-answers-an-age-old-question-with-poseidon major reason for doing the film]]: |
| 5 | -->[T]hey offered like a lot of money and I love money and didn't have a lot and I thought this is a good way of doing this. |
| 6 | ** [[https://twitter.com/jerryasleep/status/1419971288521576451/photo/1 Dreyfuss later clarified on Twitter that he did the movie to pay for his son's education or possible rehab]]. |
| 7 | * StarDerailingRole: Although this film's mixed critical reception and financial underperformance did none of the cast any favors, Creator/JoshLucas and Creator/KurtRussell were arguably the ones who were hindered the most. This was the fourth major dud Lucas had starred in between 2005 to 2006 (after ''Film/{{Stealth}}'', ''Film/AnUnfinishedLife'', and ''Film/GloryRoad''), and was also the last film where he had a leading role. Russell was attempting to mount a comeback after ''Film/{{Soldier}}'' sunk back in 1998, and seemed to be moving on up after the successes of ''Film/{{Miracle}}'' and ''Film/SkyHigh''. He was primarily relegated to supporting roles following the failure of this film. |
| 8 | * TroubledProduction: Apparently each day began with Creator/JoshLucas, Creator/KurtRussell and Creator/RichardDreyfuss pow-wowing over what the hell they were going to do that day, because the script sure didn't tell them. |
