Behind the Scenes: Scene Facts: The Car


  1. In reply to Jack's question "Are you nervous?" Rose was scripted to say, "Au contraire, mon cher." It was changed to a simple, "No."

  2. The camera crew can be seen reflected in a brass panel on the front of the Renault.

  3. There was virtually no way that Rose and Jack would have been able to enter the cargo hold from the boiler rooms. There was no door between boiler room 6 and the cargo area (and no access to any but authorized crew). If there had been a door, it would have entered the third cargo area aft, not the one where the Renault was stored.

  4. To keep the suspense building, this voiceover from Old Rose was cut: "Well I wasn't the first teenage girl to get seduced in the backseat of a car, and certainly not the last, by several million. He had such fine hands, artists' hands, but strong too... roughened by work. I remember their touch even now."

  5. The Renault touring car was actually on the Titanic, stored on G-deck, and was owned by William E. Carter. Cameron had the movie prop designed as an exact duplicate of the original, designed based on pictures from the wreckage as well as from insurance records.
