    While a sculpture student at Cal Arts in 1972, I was one of a handful of art students hired to create "rock" and "coral" forms with a foam and fiberglass guns for this movie in a warehouse in Pasadena. They had us making 3'-4' tall forms out of foam that would have taken hundreds of pounds of pull to keep from floating away. Not surprisingly, I didn't see one of them that made it into the movie. I remember the guy working on the model of the sub. It was about 12" long. it looks like they filmed the entire movie in a 50 gallon aquarium.

    In the TV series, Airwolf, Ernest Borgnine was also co-pilot and he was typically jerry-rigging the computer board to get Airwolf to do what Stringfellow Hawke needed, like flying cold, no electronics and using a little electricity through wires to get the weapons to pop up so String could kill the enemy.
    Always love Borgnine in anything he comes out in.

    If someone made a list of the most awesome-but-misleading movie posters, The Neptune factor would surely be in the top five. That illustrated poster promised one of the most visually striking and fantastic underwater adventures in the world. What the movie showed was a miniature submarine in a fish tank. It's hilariously bad. I own the DVD because this movie was part of my childhood but it does have an option to listen to its original score and the alternate one. Still, they bring in some top talent for this movie and cheap out on the special effects?

    I saw this movie theatrically in Hollywood right upon its release. It was a huge experience for me. And looking at just the ffirst 5 minutes of it now, in April 2023, this film is markedly better than 99% of the Hollywood garbage being heaped upon us now. Particularly the custom scube tanks and headgear, that was decades ahead of its time when the film was made in 1972-73. Notice, for instance, the app. 12-inch antanna sticking out of the headsets. So, walkie-talkie communication whilst underwater. This was truly cutting edge in the early 1970s.

      @@theAxehound Sandy Howard was my mentor. He taught me all about titles. His working title was, "An Underwater Odyssey." But after he cast Ernest Borgnine, Ben Gazzara, Walter Pidgeon, and Yvette Mimieux there was more money to be made overseas by positioning it not as an adventure movie (think 20,000 leagues) but as an International suspense thriller. And the final title delivers on that marketing strategy in spades. But even after that decision was made, "The Neptune Disaster" was the first title. It did not do the job and was immediately replaced. I made "Voodoo" because Sandy told me that was a great title he never got around to.

    There was, in the closing years of the 20th century, a very cool poster of this movie hanging in the Neptune Theater and I'd been planning to see it since then. Part of the reason I put it off for so long was because I'd heard it was a cruddy movie. But it's actually reasonably good. True, we are being asked to imagine that sea creatures are bigger than the ship, instead of being forced to that conclusion with special effects. But there's nothing wrong with using your imagination to help your fantasy along. If you let it go it can take you farther than any computer generated effect ever could.

    • @graemesmith6721

      In a sense, the movie is almost spookily prescient. It shows marine organisms which have grown unusually large in an area warmed by volcanic activity, which is something that actually exists, but wasn't discovered until six years after this movie was made. Granted, hydrothermal vents don't cause ordinary coral reef organisms to grow to gigantic size, but they do provide the energy that allows tube worms with symbiotic sulfur-reducing bacteria to grow far bigger than ones found elsewhere, as well as permitting the existence of an entire community of organisms that are completely independent of the sun.

    Hi Donald! I remember this movie from my youth! Good movie with a solid cast. Walter Pigeon was a superb actor with great quite a resume. I have seen footage of him that taints my enjoyment of his films. He was apparently Proactive (heavily involved) with the McCarthy hearings in the 1950’s! He even went so far as to name names before the infamous committee. My understanding is that he was instrumental in the ruination of a number of his fellow actors. If anyone has more or different information on this subject, I would be interested.
