Added DiffLines:

* AmericansHateTingle: The film was widely hated by both the British public and military for falsely claiming the US Navy captured the Enigma machine first rather than the Royal Navy in RealLife. Even Prime Minister Tony Blair shared the same sentiment, feeling the film was an insult to the British sailors who help captured the machine.

* AdvertisedExtra: "Extra" is a bit of a stretch, but Jon Bon Jovi dies halfway through the movie offscreen after only about ten minutes of fairly insignificant screen time. However, marketing would have you believe he was the main character.

Added DiffLines:

* SpecialEffectsFailure: While the exterior sets and models for the modified ''S''-class sub and the Type-VII U-boats are decent enough, the film can’t seem to decide what class of destroyer they are facing, as that model switches between ''Narvik''- and ''Z-31''-class configurations between shots. Look for the forward guns flip-flopping between two single mounts and one twin mount.

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: The plot involves Americans seizing a German U-boat, which [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_submarine_U-505 really happened in 1944]] and could have been a compelling historical film.

Fan Dumb & Hate Dumb are now part of Flame Bait. Only in-universe examples are allowed.


* HateDumb: The film never really even *tries* to pretend it's accurate, and the afterword gave due credit to those that actually captured German U-Boats. Most of the credit being to the British.
