Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea Facts
Some of the sub's equipment and sound effects were recycled from The Fly.

The next person they meet is Commodore Lucius Emery played by Peter Lorre who was Professor Pierre Arronax's assistant Conseil on the Walt Disney version of the Jules Verne classic 20000 Leagues Under the Sea about a 19th century submarine.
