Trivia
Based on the figures (380 feet long, displacing 7800 tons of water) given by the Major General at Pendleton, the USS Newark is a Virginia-class attack submarine. One of the civilian consultants, Lazlo, states the sub costs in excess of $30 million; a Virginia-class submarine actually costs approximately $2 billion, an amount more than 65 times the price Lazlo's declared.

Goofs
A crewman on the bridge in the opening attack sequence is killed; just as his body starts to get dragged away, feet first, he pushes off with his arms.

Quotes
Maj. Gen. Ashford: Now, if I didn't have direct orders from the Pentagon, I'd just send a crew down there to sink that son of a gun. No questions asked. Now, your job is to make sure they get all the help they can need.

Marines and scientists

The submarine USS Newark has been sunk somewhere off the coast of California with some valuable material for new weapons. A team of Marines and scientists are sent on an investigation and salvage job in Stinger.

What they find when they get there is the crew all dead with one civilian survivor and a bunch of table size scorpions running around the submarine. The nuclear reactor is taking the place of breast feeding.

The no name cast will not fear for its reputation being associated with such a Thanksgiving special of a movie. The marines and scientists start working at cross purposes. One of the female scientists strips down to her panties for several minutes. Even the sight of her ample mammaria doesn't raise any interest in Stinger.

It's pretty laughable, the biggest laugh is reserved for the ending when we are supposed to be shocked.

Stinger is bad as bad can be.
