Comedy
Lt. Cmdr. Tom Dodge is assigned as Captain to the USS Stingray, an old diesel driven submarine that has seen better days. With a crew that consists only of weird guys (and a gal), he's headed against the atomic powered USS Orlando, with the mission to destroy a dummy battleship.

"Down Periscope makes a surprisingly successful launch, with plenty of brisk one-liners and a promising set-up. But after that auspicious opening, it sinks" | ||
|
|
|
"A routine, mildly funny service comedy." | ||
 |
|
This is amiable enough and perhaps one shouldn’t expect anything more from the team that brought you Police Academy (...) What really lets this down, though, is the uninspired plot and one-dimensional characters." | ||
|
|
|
"Though Down Periscope is set in the age of the nuclear submarine, the jokes seem to date back to the time of the original battle of the ironclads" | ||
|
|
|
"If 'Down Periscope' has the ingredients for a lively spoof (...) they are slapped together so crudely that nothing gels" | ||
|
|
|
"There are occasional laughs, but, as with most movies that think they're funnier than they actually are, most of the jokes fall flat." |
