The trivia section here mentioned how the zombie was the sharks trainer. That's a better question, how do you train a *beep* shark?!
shareThe shark was fed and sedated before the scene. The question I have is….where the hell did the trainer keep a tiger shark? Those suckers are big. You would need a Sea World size tank.
Well feed sharks won't bite. Especially if their feeding is on a routine - same time same place. I swim with sharks offen alrough not as big as the tiger shark in this movie.
shareEven after all these years I still wonder if the shark turned into a zombie after getting bit?
shareThe shark was fed a chunk of meat laced with sedative. And also the actor who was supposed to play the underwater zombie got sick at the last minute and had to be replaced with the shark's trainer - but most fans of this film probably know this information already.
"That's it. It bit into his arm-pit. Like It wanted to eat him, man. Like It wanted to eat his heart." shareMore importantly, why doesn't the film or one of its unofficial sequels come back around to the fact that there is a zombie shark swimming around out there? The zombie bit the shark....
shareThat underwater sequence is still amazing to me. Love it! And that they pulled it off back then when you had to actually do it, and didn't use a fake shark or other trickery like a glass barrier - impressive!
