I've not seen the movie and it is very low on my 'To Do' list.

Coaxial connectors for use with RF coaxial cables such as commonly found
in radio and radar usage may also come with a hexagonal shape as opposed
to the common round knurl shape referenced.  Marine conditions are harsh
for metals, particularly for dis-similar combinations such as coaxial
connectors from different manufacturers that have been mated.

A similar hexagonal shape is also used on some precision coaxial
connectors (very expensive) allowing precise torque wrench operation and
these are usually found in electronic labs.  This enhances the
connection repeatability factor.

of the smooth gripless jaw surfaces. Yes- Channel-loks are the most 
appropriate.
