The recreation of the "Bounty" specially built for the movie, has for a number of years been used as a tourist cruise ship on Sydney Harbour, Australia. moreGoofs:
Continuity: The candles on the table during the dinner discussion immediately after the Bounty leaves Tahiti are lit/unlit between shots. moreQuotes:
Christian: William, about your decision to round the Horn.Bligh: "William"? Not "Sir", not "Captain"; "William"?
Christian: I don't think the men will have it.
Bligh: Oh, the men won't have it. Are they in charge of the Bounty?
Christian: They might be if you insist.
Bligh: Again, would you repeat that please. "The men might be in charge." What are you threatening me with?
Christian: It's not a threat, it's a warning.
Bligh: [sarcastically] Oh, there are rumblings, are there?
Christian: No, there is fear.
Bligh: Around the Horn is the easiest way, the better way, and that is how we will go. Anything more?

I saw this film by accident one Christmas Day, whilst vegging it on the couch! Ever since then, this has been one of my all time favourite films. Who cares about the historical truths or otherwise! Anthony Hopkins was fantastic as Bligh, Mel Gibson a very believable Christian, and the supporting cast magnificent. Th locations were perfect, the photography stunning and the music by Vangelis, wow, so in tune with the moods of the film.
I,ve watched this film about 5 times now, and could easily see it another 50!
