    Hunt for Red October. The book is great and for it’s time had done amazing insight into modern naval warfare but the movie irons out a bunch of this which are a bit lame.

    The Akula that kills itself with its own torpedo simply blows up because it abused its engine and another sunk when the titular sub rams into it.

    The titular sub is later returned to the USSR.

    The movie changes those and a few other things for a more exciting and satisfying outcome.
