Talk:Juggernaut (1974 film)

Sept 2014 changes undone
User 81.129.123.121 removed two things I wrote here. He altered the sentence "Advertisements were run in British papers, soliciting extras who would take a lengthy cruise in the North Sea for free, but with the knowledge that the ship would actually seek out the worst possible weather, as the story demanded seas too rough for the lifeboats to be lowered, trapping the passengers on board." He removed the final part, "as the story demanded seas too rough for the lifeboats to be lowered, trapping the passengers on board." He said it was "unverifiable IMDB trivia". That is not true. It is the core plot of the entire film. You need only watch it to see this. If they could stop the ship and get everyone off, there would be no film. The entire film depends on the passengers being trapped, so it is vital to tell Wikipedia readers that was the reason the Maxim Gorkiy sought out stormy seas for filming. Otherwise it just sounds like they wanted to intentionally make the film crew and extras seasick for no reason.

He also rewrote this sentence: "The ship's charter was negotiated at a set rate in February 1974, while oil prices skyrocketed due to the still-ongoing 1973 oil crisis. As a result, the Soviets, who paid the vessel's operating costs during filming, ended up losing money on the deal." He said "...why would a ship be hired in 1974 when the prices rose in October 1973? Nonsense." No, I can assure you it is NOT nonsense. Oil prices did not rise in one moment in October 1973, they rose continuously, unevenly, over many months. The ship was chartered in February 1974, while prices were still rising. What that meant was that by the time they completed filming, the oil prices had risen so much over the duration of filming that the Soviet owners of the liner lost money. There is no nonsense there.

In addition, he writes about another change he made that ""Although the film was originally released in the UK under its regular title," well that's because it's original title is the name of the film. It's the difference that is notable." The reason I worded it that way is that many people seem to believe, erroneously, that the film was released in theaters in the UK in 1974 as "Terror on the Britannic". This very page said that for a while. That is totally untrue. I was trying to correct that misunderstanding.

I've just removed the link at Hamburg, as it pointed to the city. There doesn't seem to be an article about the ship: SS Hamburg (1926) is clearly not the right vintage, I assume the ship used in the film is the one built in 1966. Does anyone have any more information?--Dub8lad1 14:07, 8 July 2007 (UTC)
