'Lost' down the hatch shot.
Anyone else think that the composition of the shot towards the end of the film where a cover is lifted on a Japanese shaft/tunnel by the two marines is a nod in the direction of the TV series "Lost" (which would have aired a year or two before, and of course also set on an island)
ie the classic shot (held for a few seconds) of John Lock and Jack Sheppard peering down the hatch and the camera, positioned down the shaft, pointing up to the sky framing the two characters in question?
At least two of us jumped and said the same thing the moment this scene came up in the movie.
