The Russian filmmakers finish the final shoot of their version of the film “Da Titanic” of the Red Star line by throwing da “Heart of the Ocean” off the aft deck.
The new film reveals never before seen footage of Da Titanic’s epic struggles after hitting a submerged American nuclear submarine.

We’ve all heard the expression “drink like a fish,” but I’ve never seen them get tanked before.
