MISTAKES/GOOFS
- GEOG: When Mulder lists the ships that had gone missing, he says a Royal Navy Battleship left Leeds. Leeds is a landlocked city in Yorkshire.
- CREW: As the camera is fixed on Henry Trondheim drowning, the cameraman's hand is visible passing upwards on the left side of the screen as if treading water.
- FAKE: When the medical examiner at Bethesda Naval Medical Center removes the sheet off of the corpse of the first thug, it briefly reveals that he is still wearing boxer shorts.
TRIVIA
- The title "Død Kalm" is probably meant to resemble Norwegian for "Dead Calm" (referring to the movie Dead Calm (1989)) but it's gibberish. While the word "død" actually means dead, "kalm" is not a Norwegian word. The literal translation would be "Dødelig ro" (a deadly calm), whereas the proper translation (a quiet sea without waves) would be "Vindstille" or "Blikkstille". And in any case for a Norwegian title only the first letter is capitalized (Død kalm).
- The Norwegian town Mulder and Scully go to, Tildeskan, is fictional.
- Most of the Norwegian spoken in this episode is flawed, and apparently Danish language coaches were used. Two examples make this clear: the first is the word "bliver" ("becomes/stays/remains") instead of the Norwegian "blir". The second is when Vladimir Kulich is supposedly saying 'Go to Hell' in Norwegian, where he is actually using the Danish phrase, which in this case is structurally very different from the Norwegian.
