1 | * AlternateCharacterInterpretation: There are those who believe [[spoiler:Klaus sabotaged the helicopter to get Ned out of the picture and take his place as Steve's surrogate son.]] Futhermore, due to [[spoiler:Ned's posthumous appearance in the ending credits roll call, some believe that his death was faked by Steve for ratings.]] |
2 | * SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: "Search and Destroy". |
3 | ** Creator/SeuJorge's Brazilian Portuguese covers of Music/DavidBowie. |
4 | ** Music/SigurRos. Full stop. |
5 | * GeniusBonus: Why is the boat called the Belafonte? Well, about every aspect of Steve Zissou was taken from Jacques Cousteau, whose boat was called Calypso. Music/HarryBelafonte was a musician who ''sang'' calypso! |
6 | * ItsTheSameNowItSucks: Some critics accused the film's basic story and characterization of being too similar to that of Creator/WesAnderson's previous film, ''Film/TheRoyalTenenbaums'', and didn't feel that the stylistic differences were enough to justify the similarity. |
7 | * MemeticMutation: [[https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/002/215/782/559 This]] promotional image of Creator/WillemDafoe became a [[https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/fresh-willem-dafoe-vs-lighthouse-willem-dafoe meme]] in late 2020, in combination with his character from ''Film/TheLighthouse''. |
8 | * NightmareFuel: The description of Esteban's death after the unseen jaguar shark attack. |
9 | -->'''Steve:''' Eaten! Esteban was eaten!\ |
10 | '''Klaus:''' He was swallowed whole?\ |
11 | '''Steve:''' No! ''Chewed!'' |
12 | * TearJerker: [[spoiler: Ned's very sudden death.]] |
13 | ** The scene where they [[spoiler:find the Jaguar Shark and Steve decides not to kill it; "I wonder if it remembers me?"]] |
14 | ** It goes into SugarWiki/FunnyMoments territory when he reveals they were out of dynamite. |
15 | * SugarWiki/VisualEffectsOfAwesome: All of the sea creatures are animated in stop-motion, and they are absolutely breathtaking. |
