* FollowTheLeader: The scene where an unidentified saboteur (later revealed to be Canton) uses a virus to shut down all the ship's system clearly takes its lead from the similar scene in ''Film/JurassicPark'' where the park's systems get shut down.


Added DiffLines:

** Another difference in the early script is that Canton used an EMP bomb to destroy the electrical systems of the ''Argonautica'', rather than a computer virus. This noticeably creates a plot hole in the finished film, as Canton still acts as though the ship's systems have been physically destroyed, something that would be all-but-impossible for a virus to do.
** Canton was originally supposed to be an EvilBrit named Nigel Canton, while the ''Argonautica'' captain was a Frenchman named Jean-Baptiste Delcroix.

** Believe it or not, this was originally intended to be a prequel to a ''Film/KingKong'' remake! The final scene was meant to serve as a teaser for a reboot titled ''Kong Rising'', with WordOfGod confirming [[spoiler:the giant creature crashing through the island jungle was to be Kong himself.]]

** In the same script, we learn what actually drove the monster to the surface: an encounter with a Japanese submarine which disturbs it. It included an eerie extended sequence in which the sub explores the "valley of death" (whale skeletons and sunken ships) in the trench before encountering the creature, which is only glimpsed before heading to the surface after the sub accidentally drills into it while attempting to collect some specimens. In the finished film, the "valley of death" ''is'' briefly seen during the opening credits from the monster's P.O.V.

* TrailersAlwaysLie: The trailers depict it as a standard monster movie. There's a lot more to it than that.
* TrailersAlwaysSpoil: Disney was really bad about this in the trailer and video cover. The trailer basically shows you nearly all of the second half (despite the fact that you could have cut a really good trailer with just the first act) while the video cover depicts the film's climax. In all fairness, the cover looked so over the top, one could be excused for assuming it was just poster art and not actually a scene from the movie.
