Deep Rising is a 1998 Action Horror film starring Treat Williams and Famke Janssen and directed by Stephen Sommers.John Finnegan (Williams) is a for-hire boat captain who is contracted by a group of mercenaries led by Hanover (Wes Studi) to ferry them to a luxury cruise liner they intend to rob. However, when they arrive on board, they discover that something has killed all of the guests.They eventually meet a pair of survivors — professional thief Trillian St. James (Janssen), the ship's captain, and Simon Canton (Anthony Heald), the ship's owner, who reveal that a malignant creature has infested the ship. What follows is a race against time as the mercenaries try to escape before the creature kills them all.

Bizarre Alien Biology
 Deep Rising / int_1161fb48
comment
Bizarre Alien Biology: The monster is some sort of gargantuan octopus-like beast with dozens of tentacles, but its tentacles have their own teeth, mouths, and digestive systems and function almost autonomously, leading them to be mistaken as huge worms at first.

Dirty Coward
 Deep Rising / int_1235f055
comment
Hanover initially started out as distrusting of Finnegan and his crew, but then started to gradually drop his hostility and shows a level of begrudging respect towards Finnegan when onboard the infested ship. Then when the flooding hits, Hanover, when paired with Joey, pulls a Dirty Coward move by shooting Joey in the leg to feed to the creature and then tried to kill Joey when he himself is slowly eaten.

Dragon-in-Chief: Despite Canton technically being the brains behind the operation, Hanover is mostly in charge. Canton doesn't bark any orders at the mercenaries. Justified as Canton does not have as much combat and survival experience unlike the mercenaries.

Trailers Always Spoil: 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.

Blind Without 'Em: When Canton jumps onto the mercenaries' boat from the cruise ship in an attempt to escape, he breaks his leg and loses his glasses. This proves to be his undoing, as he finds the boat has been intentionally set on autopilot in a collision course with the cruise ship, and without his glasses he can't tell what buttons and gauges can set it back to manual.

Jumping Off the Slippery Slope
 Deep Rising / int_1520ad7e
comment
Jumping Off the Slippery Slope: At first, Canton's plan was to destroy the ship as an insurance scam, but to make it so all of the passengers live. Later though, he uses the others as bait so he can escape himself, and tries to kill Trillian and steal Finnegan's boat. Fortunately, though, he meets his Karmic Death in the end.

 Deep Rising / int_1574193a
comment
Pushed at the Monster: Hanover and Joey are fleeing from the tentacle monsters, which are gaining on them. Joey yells that they have to slow them down; Hanover shouts back that they only way to do that is to feed them. While Joey is trying to figure out what the hell to feed them, Hanover shoots him in the leg. Despite this, he manages to escape and in fact survives to the end of the movie, while Hanover gets eaten.

Break the Badass
 Deep Rising / int_18262b13
comment
Break the Badass: Some of the mercenaries, particularly and especially Mason and Mulligan, started to go through this as they never expected to face and combat a sea monster when they were hired for the job and eventually become distraught over the loss of their close comrades. Mason lampshades it with this quote: Mulligan, overlapping with Break the Haughty due to Mulligan representing the sin Pride, begins to freak out when he realizes all his fellow mercenary friends are gone, the monster is cornering them and even sheds a tear in light of the situation. Hanover as well, when he is slowly eaten by the creature and his facial expressions show him in visible pain without even screaming initially. After Joey gives him his handgun to perform a Mercy Kill (which he unfortunately wasted the last bullet on Joey in a Taking You with Me attempt only to miss) and he failed to commit quick painless suicide, Hanover can only scream finally in a mixture of horror, disbelief over the loss of bullets and pain as he is eaten alive.

Cruel and Unusual Death: The creatures do not simply rip up and digest their victims. Instead they are swallowed up, have their liquids effectively drained away, and whatever's left of the body being spit back out (mostly bones and gore). Oh, and did we mention that the victims are still alive during this process?

Punch-Clock Villain
 Deep Rising / int_20860a0e
comment
Punch-Clock Villain: If it weren't the fact that they're thieving and Ruthless Modern Pirates, if not brash and boisterous, the mercenaries would count as they are only concerned with completely their mission to force out the passengers to make way to sink the cruise liner. While being hardened, trigger-happy and somewhat crooked, they are not sadists or completely unlikable (unlike Canton). Finnegan and his boat crew would also count (as quoted by Finnegan about his line of work, "If the cash is there, we do not care"), perhaps even more so than the mercenaries, with the Punch Clock side outweighing the Villain side. Also Trillian is a thief, but appears to be a affable career thief who is not much of scumbag like Canton.

Chekhov's Gun
 Deep Rising / int_22cf536c
comment
Chekhov's Gun: Occurs numerous times. Early on in the film, the mercenaries arm all of the torpedoes onboard Finnegan's boat. At the end, Finnegan rigs the boat so it will loop back around and ram into the Argonautica, destroying both ships. One of the first shots of Finnegan focuses on a shotgun he has strapped to the back of his chair. He doesn't carry it for most of the movie, but straps it to his back later on, and uses it to shoot out the creature's eye when it captures him in the ballroom. When the creatures first attack the Argonautica, a speedboat can be seen dropping off the ship into the water. Several minutes later, Finnegan's craft sees the speedboat too late and crashes through it, crippling their systems. Near the end, a surfboard sent flying by the exploding charter boat, which is then used (offscreen) by Joey to swim to safety. After being confined, Trillian reveals she pickpocketed Canton's wallet. Later, after encountering her, the mercenaries use material inside to quickly get into the vault, resulting in Vivo's death and the beginning of an explanation of the overall situation.

Ironic Echo: Trillian steals the captain's ID and snarks to herself about its lousy photo. Then she's caught by Canton and some crewmen, and he snarks about the lousy mugshot on the fax his security people had received about her. Joey angrily complains about how they're going to die because Canton "screwed up on the math". Later, as Canton outlines how the monsters are relatively small and harmless at shallow depths, and big enough to eat a shark at moderate depths, he points out exactly how deep the sea beneath them is, before turning to Joey and saying "you do the math".

Funny Background Event: In the background, and mostly sound-only, Atherton snaps and begins loudly berating Canton for being a "greedy bastard" and getting them all in the predicament they're now stuck in, with Mason trying to keep him from physically attacking the other man. Meanwhile, the focus during this scene is Trillian surreptitiously tucking a discarded pistol into her pants and Finnegan checking her out from the rear while she does this.

Plot Armor
 Deep Rising / int_2a44899
comment
Plot Armor: Obviously, the three surviving protagonists Finnegan, Trillian, and Joey. For Finnegan, a prime example is when the monster wastes its own time picking him up to examine him as opposed to other victims who are attacked and devoured immediately. Trillian, who has little to no knowledge in gun defense/combat, escapes and/or gets rescued at the right time. Last but not least, Joey, who is probably the most egregious offender here. Just like Trillian, he has little to no knowledge in gun defense/combat, but always end up being lucky. He is the second last person to jump into the water so the monster ends up chasing after and attacking the last person (Mason). He is shot in the leg by Hanover to act as bait for the monster, but escapes in time with a limp. A short while later, he avoids getting shot by a dying Hanover who is holding a gun. And finally, offscreen he is attacked by the monster but he jumps into water to safety, miraculously avoids the explosive range of the torpedoes, and floats to shore to safety, all the while with a limp due to that injured leg...

comment
Hollywood Hacking: As with a lot of other films from the era, computer viruses are depicted as something able to physically destroy hardware, with Canton explaining that they can't send a distress signal because the virus he used burned out all the systems on-board. In reality it probably would have been impossible to get the ship up and running again in the circumstances, but because the people with the required technical know-how would likely have already become monster chow.

Even Evil Has Standards
 Deep Rising / int_319e4a2f
comment
Even Evil Has Standards: Canton wanted to sink the cruise liner so he could reap the insurance money, but when Finnegan accuses him of trying to kill all the passengers Canton takes offense. He claims that he's just a crook, not a savage; he planned for all of them to live, as they would be safely transported off the ship before anyone could drown. Ultimately subverted when Canton decides it would be better for everyone not named Canton to "go down with the ship" since they're all witnesses. Played straight with the Punch-Clock Villain mercenaries, who are disgusted with Canton's plan, the motive behind it and how he left them in the dark about it that results in the deaths of their comrades. In addition, they themselves are horrified by the carnage left by the creature's rampage and devastated over the loss of their comrades, who from what we seen so far are best buds to one another aside from their ruthlessness. T-Ray and Vivo take offense to Mamooli's promiscuity, with the former calling him a "bloody pervert" and musing over Mulligan's suggestion that the only way to shut him up from constantly talking about women and sex is to shoot him.

And then he admits that the monster killing everybody on board simplified the scam operation somewhat, and he tries to leave everybody to die.

Comedic Sociopathy: When Finnegan finds the mercs beating up Joey and threatening to kill him, he points out that killing his mechanic means the boat won't be able to reach its maximum speed, costing them valuable time, then adds "Which actually works just fine for me, since, y'know, we're charging you by the hour."

Empty Elevator: The mercenaries are searching through the abandoned cruise ship looking for any passengers or crew members, but none can be found. Then the elevator activates, and they can see it moving to their floor. They keep their weapons aimed at the door, but it's empty. Except for the blood-covered walls inside the elevator, that is.

Pragmatic Villainy: Mamooli makes it very clear that he'd like to rape Leila and asks to be her guard instead of Billy, almost getting into a fight with her boyfriend Joey over it. The other mercenaries tell him to "behave yourself", but only because they're there to do a job. As Joey's getting roughed up by the mercenaries for snooping around, Finnegan pointed out that killing the ship's mechanic risks the job into going overtime and thus increasing his fee, per their contract. This actually doesn't work, leading to the first Mexican Stand Off. Finnegan knows he would be cut down pretty quickly, but he also notes to Hanover how messy it would still be for mercenaries who have a big job to do. Hanover promptly lets Finnegan take Joey and leave.

Distress Call: Averted and that's part of the problem. To ensure the mercenaries can pull off their end of the deal, Canton disabled ship communications. This prevents the crew from sending a distress call and reporting their location, as tentacles begin swarming. By the time the other protagonists arrive, there's no way to undo Canton's sabotage. With no way to call for help, it'll be at least a day before the authorities even begin looking for the Argonautica.

Fold-Spindle Mutilation: Captain Atherton dies when he's yanked through a gap in a catwalk. A very small gap. Also the fate of the woman who hides in the restroom; she gets pulled down through the toilet, resulting in a very big splash of blood and gore. The monster, some sort of giant octopus, is very agile; at one point Trillian notices one of the tentacles (which can swallow a person whole) slithering through a pipe barely two feet wide.

Let's Split Up, Gang!
 Deep Rising / int_6f619fab
comment
Let's Split Up, Gang!: Deconstructed. After finding the ship, the group splits up. Leila is left on Finnegan's boat to do some repair work, with Billy watching her. That makes some sense, but once aboard the ship and finding the place trashed and bloody, Hanover splits up the group again. He leads most of the team in trying to find the crew, while T-Ray and Mamooli escort Finnegan and Joey below decks to find repair parts. It goes badly to varying degrees for everyone. Later justified when the Dwindling Party finds the feeding ground and has to flee from a hull breach. With water rushing in, everyone just runs wherever they can, so they get split up, with Finnegan and Trillian in one spot and Joey and Hanover elsewhere. Canton also deliberately split off prior to this in the hopes of saving himself.

Disposable Woman: Leila, Finnegan's foul-mouthed yet sympathetic right hand as well as Joey's girlfriend, is the first protagonist to be killed by the creatures. Thankfully we're spared the more gruesome details of her demise that many of the other characters get. Her death still manages to deliver quite the punch the farther the story progresses, simply by how little recognition her gruesome fate gets from her crew mates. Aside from a gloomy "I don't think she made it" and a single tear shed by her boyfriend, it's like she never even existed after the first twenty minutes into the movie.

Inside Job: Finnigan eventually figures out that Hanover was working with someone on the cruise liner for the planned heist that never materialized. That person turns out to be Canton (the ship's owner), who was responsible for sabotaging the ship's systems before the monster happened to show up. His motive was to sink the ship so he could reap the insurance money since they were actually operating at a loss. This revelation infuriates the Captain, since it's entirely Canton's fault that they couldn't get out a distress signal.

Didn't Think This Through: In his attempt to create the world's ultimate luxury liner, Canton ended up creating something that could never be run profitably. He tries to downplay this by saying that he "misjudged the market", but Joey offers the much simpler and more damning assessment that he doomed everyone on-board to a horrible death because he "screwed up the math".

Karmic Death
 Deep Rising / int_90d44f44
comment
Karmic Death: At the end of the movie, Simon Canton attempts to get away on Finnegan's boat without the others after trying to kill them. When he jumps onto the boat from the cruise ship, he breaks a leg. Unbeknownst to him, the torpedo filled boat has been rigged to run into the cruise ship in order to explode and kill the creature. When Canton realizes this, it's too late and the last thing he sees before dying is Finnegan's computer screen which reads "Game Over". Hanover's death mentioned in Better to Die than Be Killed. He could've spared himself the horrific fate of being a sea monster's meal, but rather than accept Joey's gun as an offer of mercy, he tries to shoot him out of spite. Of course, it was the last bullet, so cue the scream.

Laser-Guided Karma: Hanover shoots Joey in the leg while the two are being chased by the monsters so they'll eat Joey first and give him time to escape. Not only does Joey survive, Hanover ends up being caught by one of the tentacles off-screen. Joey walks in on Hanover in the middle of being swallowed and gives him a pistol so he can Mercy Kill himself before being digested. Hanover decides to use the gun to shoot Joey first; not only does he miss, but it turns out that was the last bullet and he just wasted it.

Rewatch Bonus: After losing Atherton, the group moves about the ship trying to find a way out. Canton explains where a particular path will lead them, but Mulligan disputes that by citing the schematics he has access to. Canton rebuffs him by saying he provided those schematics and that he certainly knows his own ship, so everyone takes the route he suggested. On the first viewing, it just seems like a haughty executive insisting he knows better than a merc. On the second viewing, Canton has already started thinking about finding some way to ensure there would be no witnesses to tell the authorities how his attempted scam got a lot of people killed.

Ray threatens with violence all the time (Wrath), Mamooli talks about his desire to have sex with women from every country (Lust), Mulligan says that the group will "kick ass and take names" as well as taunts a monster and claims it is nothing (Pride), Hanover is paranoid, distrustful and later ends up shooting at someone who is going to live and not him in a Taking You with Me attempt (Envy), Mason is seen stuffing money into his pockets (Greed) and Billy complains about all the work he has to do (Sloth).

Sense-Impaired Monster

comment
Sense-Impaired Monster: Knocked onto the floor, a quiet Finnegan notices a tentacle simply feel around the area rather than lunge right at him. He then sees it react to the noise he makes when retrieving his gun off the floor. Ultimately downplayed. The tentacles do rely on noise and touch rather than sight, but they're all part of one big monster that does have eyes, as Finnegan learns firsthand (before shooting one out).

Disappointed by the Motive: Canton spent so much money on the boat that even at full capacity he'd be at a Net Loss. So he makes a big Insurance Fraud scheme involving mercenaries and torpedoes. Of course he couldn't have anticipated the monsters, but Joey is mad that this is what everyone is dying over. Even Captain Atherton is not very happy by this revelation as he furiously attacks Canton for this, right before the mercenaries told him to stop fighting.

Oh, Crap!: Joey gives a smooth "Oh, shit..." when finding out that the basement is full of torpedoes. "Enough to sink a damn aircraft carrier". Canton, when he realizes the boat he's on is about to self-destruct. The reveal that it's not a group of creatures, but one giant entity understandably leaves Finnegan and Trillian realizing just how much bigger their problems have gotten. The ending definitely counts. It's the only natural reaction that can be to finding out you're marooned on an island full of monsters. When Trillian wakes up in the pantry and wonders what happened, she hears something moving around and sees one of the pipes shaking. She realizes she needs to leave ASAP. Once a tentacle becomes aware of him, Finnegan sees the Flower Mouth open up in full detail. He is most distressed by this, especially up so close.

Super-Persistent Predator: The sea monster continues to relentlessly pursue the heroes despite suffering extreme trauma from doing so every time. The graveyard of sunken ships we see at the beginning seems to indicate that the creature long ago figured out that ships were easy to attack and filled with tasty morsels. This is probably the first time it encountered anything on a ship that put up serious resistance. There are also dozens of whale skeletons in the same underwater graveyard, suggesting that it's an equal-opportunity predator.

Neither of them ever suffers even the slightest injury, or gets dirty for that matter. Leila does die, but she does it offscreen.

Bottomless Magazines: Lampshaded. The writers, aware that the plot will require Bottomless Magazines, introduce the primary weapon of Hanover's pirates as an exotic "Chinese" minigun assault rifle that is auto-cooling, water-tight and has a thousand-round magazine. The small size is still preposterous, given that they dropping .308 casings (a thousand rounds of .308 weighs about 55 pounds and would fill a duffel bag) when they fire. Though in a strange adherence to established canon, they do occasionally run out of bullets at roughly the time that a five-barreled Gatling gun would burn through a thousand rounds while firing in bursts.

Captain Atheron is also disturbed by the fact Canton Would Hit a Girl, despite the fact that said girl stole his wallet and tried to rob from the vault. Joey hands Hanover a pistol as a Mercy Kill so he will not be Eaten Alive and painfully digested. This is right after Hanover shot Joey himself and tried to feed him to the monster in his place. When Hanover tries to shoot him again, Joey calls him an asshole and leaves him to his fate.

Hope Spot: At the end, the few survivors regroup on a nearby island they spotted earlier while on the ship. Unfortunately, they have little time to be grateful about their survival before they hear something huge roar and crash its way through the jungle towards them. The camera then zooms out to show the island they're on has multiple erupting volcanoes on top of that. In the corridor at the bottom of the elevator, the group finds a bloody mess and then sees something bending the other side of door trying to reach them. After a moment, it all stops and nothing happens, even as Finnegan and Hanover cautiously check things out. Then Mason accidentally steps on a skull and shouts in surprise, prompting the creature to realize there are people in there and resume attacking.

Big Bad Wannabe: Simon Canton is responsible for hiring the mercenaries to sink the ship for him to collect the insurance. However, he is upstaged by the sea monsters that infest the ship. Despite the infestation, he still tries making a shot for the Big Bad title by using the others as bait so he can escape himself and tries to kill Trillian and steal Finnegan's boat.

comment
It Can Think: When Mulligan suggests holing up in the kitchen, Finnegan relates how he once saw an octopus uncork a bottle to get a fish that had been placed inside. At one point late in the film the monsters start herding the remaining humans towards their feeding area. Makes some sense, as the "monsters" are tentacles of the same creature, and are moving the humans toward the open space where there's the most room to maneuver. Later, when Finnegan comes face to face with the creature, it doesn't kill him straight away, but inquisitively brings him up to its head to inspect him. Finnegan uses the opportunity to shoot one of its eyes out.

Yet, he willingly endangers his own crew by turning a blind eye to his clients' motives and not asking so much as a single question before accepting a job as long as he gets paid. Not to mention he's the one who brought the mercs to the cruise ship in the first place. Canton quickly calls him back on this.

Screw This, I'm Outta Here: After the mess that happens when the vault is open, Trillian takes the opportunity to slip off and make her way to an elevator. After the group is briefly scattered, a tentacle soon gets the drop on Finnegan and Trillian. She immediately starts running, but Finnegan gets trapped and has to be very careful with his movements. Subverted in that Trillian comes back once she realizes he wasn't right behind her. Upon seeing the creature's full form, Trillian suggests leaving immediately. Finnegan agrees; a pesky tentacle doesn't.

Doomed Hurt Guy: Similar to Acres in The Poseidon Adventure, poor Atherton spends half his screentime limping from a pretty bad leg injury. Unlike many examples of this trope, Atherton still manages to keep up with the group, but past a certain point it's obvious he's The Load and a goner. Swimming was probably out of the question for him with his bad leg, so he was never going to make it through the underwater portion (another Poseidon Shout-Out), so he gets killed right before the group gets to that part.

Improbable Taxonomy Skills
 Deep Rising / int_e187000b
comment
Improbable Taxonomy Skills: And how, Canton! Just from brief examinations, he theorizes that the creatures they're fighting are gargantuan priapulids, a family of carnivorous marine worms commonly nicknamed "penis worms". More glaringly, the taxonomic group he claims they belong to is actually extinct in Real Life, being known only from fragmentary fossils. Yet he somehow describes its behavior, which would be pretty darn improbable even from a paleontologist... let alone, a cruise ship designer like Canton. So it is probably no great surprise that he turns out to be completely wrong in his assumptions. The "creatures" are actually the tentacles belonging to a gigantic cephalopod-type creature. In fairness, the Ottoia do have living relatives who are all but unchanged from the prehistoric model, so extrapolating their behavior isn't a huge stretch... but he still would have been better naming one of the still-living taxonomies. And even then, he loses points by claiming there are some species of priapulid worm that eat sharks; the largest known priapulid worm species today is only 39 centimeters long.

Hate Sink: Simon Canton. The monsters are just predators that live to consume, and most of the mercenaries have some redeeming qualities such as determination, being mostly Punch-Clock Villain-type characters, caring for each other except those not in their personal group like Finnegan, their unique wise-cracking characterizations and being badasses. Canton however is only selfish, cowardly, and greedy. He's not so bad at first (having clearly established with Finnegan that he had planned for everyone aboard the boat to be safely evacuated), but he eventually tries to leave the other survivors for dead, then tries to kill Trillian, shrugs off the all the passengers' deaths because he can still scam the insurance agency if the ship sinks, and tries to steal Finnegan's boat. He meets a deliciously Karmic Death.

The Load: Joey, for most of the film.

Justified in that he's the ship's mechanic/technician in a group composed mostly of hardened mercenaries, and he was only brought aboard to find the parts to fix their ship.

Mulligan suggests holing up there with the food and water to wait for rescue. Finnegan rejects that idea; he knows continuing trying to reach his boat is dangerous, but that it's still preferable to staying in a single place that the creatures know they're in. Trillian also adds the ship is sinking.

Finally Found the Body
 Deep Rising / int_f2097aef
comment
Finally Found the Body: When the mercenaries board the cruise ship, they're utterly bewildered to find the inside in ruin and everyone gone; Joey darkly jokes that perhaps everyone simultaneously jumped overboard and collectively forgot about the lifeboats. They eventually find the fate of the passengers and crew in the bow of the ship, all reduced to bloody skeletons after being digested and regurgitated by the monsters.

Lamprey Mouth: The monster, a giant cephalopod, has a main mouth that is just a giant opening littered with numerous backwards-facing teeth.

Mercy Kill
 Deep Rising / int_f3626b09
comment
Joey hands Hanover a pistol as a Mercy Kill so he will not be Eaten Alive and painfully digested. This is right after Hanover shot Joey himself and tried to feed him to the monster in his place. When Hanover tries to shoot him again, Joey calls him an asshole and leaves him to his fate.

Would Hit a Girl
 Deep Rising / int_f42f96fa
comment
Would Hit a Girl: At the beginning of the film, Canton has no qualms about giving Trillian a vicious bitch slap when he and his goons catch her red-handed in the Argonautica's vault. She nicks his wallet in revenge. After finding Trillian sneaking around, Hanover stops her from leaving by forcing her against the wall and putting a hand on her neck. He warns she'd better give him some answers about the situation or else.

Dropped Glasses
 Deep Rising / int_f5663a6f
comment
Dropped Glasses: When Canton leaps onto the mercenaries' ship at the end in an attempt to escape, he breaks his leg and loses his glasses. This proves to be his undoing when he finds the vessel has been locked on autopilot to ram the cruise ship and blow up, and without his glasses, he can't tell which of the buttons deactivates autopilot.

Up Close with the Monster: In the climax, Octalus grabs the hero Finnigan with one of its tentacles and pulls him up to its face to have a look at him. This gives Finnigan the perfect opportunity to blow one of its eyes out with his shotgun.

 Deep Rising / int_faf5732b
comment
I Call It "Vera": Played with in that, while none of the mercenaries name their many, many weapons, the twin engines of Finnegan's charter boat are called "Jezebel" and "Hercules". Finnegan and Joey weaponize the explosive-laden boat so it crashes into the Argonautica to kill the monster, so technically they do count as "weapons".

Non-Malicious Monster
 Deep Rising / int_fd1b902c
comment
Non-Malicious Monster: Ironically, the protagonists are all criminals of some kind, while the main antagonist is a non-sapient Sea Monster that has no motivation beyond hunting its prey. Although it is incredibly persistent in hunting such a meagre number of remaining humans and doesn't even bother killing its victims before ingesting them.

Accidental Murder: Canton accidentally axes Vivo in the head when he believes that it was the creature on the other side of the door. The trigger-happy mercenaries panic and accidentally gun down three unarmed passengers in response.

With Friends Like These...: En route to their target, T-Ray gets seasick and then has to put up with Vivo describing an assortment of tasty treats he'd like to snack on—greasy pigs feet, pickled monkey brains and raw elephant eyeballs. Billy blowing cigarette smoke in his face doesn't help.

Lady in Red: This is Trillian's outfit for the first half of the movie, as she was a thief and conman on the cruise liner who used it to distract the captain so she could steal his keycard as part of her scheme.

Brick Joke: When Trillian tries to barter her way onto Finnegan's boat, she reluctantly agrees he can name his price, to which he simply asks for a cold beer. In the last scene, Trillian observes being stuck on the island with her has to be better than a cold beer for Finnegan.

Beauty Is Never Tarnished
 Deep Rising / int_fe614133
comment
Beauty Is Never Tarnished: Few of the protagonists sustain any obvious injuries over the course of the movie, with Canton's and Joey's leg wounds being the only noticeable exceptions. Who really invokes the trope, however, are Finnegan and Trillian. Not only does neither of the two get as much as a scratch on them — even their clothes remain completely untarnished regardless of being exposed to bloody water, explosions, fireballs and whatnot all over the place. Famke Janssen in particular ends the movie as impeccably dressed and as ridiculously gorgeous as she was in her first scene, hairdo and makeup included. Not that anyone's complaining.
