a 45 foot shark?? Seriously?!


At the end, the dude says "A 45 foot shark and you hit ME??!" I understand that they made the sharks bigger but regular makos are usually around 12 feet.. And great whites can get around 25feet. How much were they saying it weighed? Anyways, 45 feet just seemed HUGE to me!!


thoughts??

Yeah, big shark, somehow was able to fit in all the twists and turns of the facility. I think it was just big when it was convenient for the story.

I think only the smaller two first gen sharks were inside swimming around the facility.

Agreed. I guess a similar example is the new 'Rise of the Planet of the Apes' movie. In that movie, the mother (a first generation) is treated with the drug to cure Alzheimers disease, but her baby (second generation) was passed down the drug and since it was a baby, it was born smart and continuously got smarter.

So I suppose in this movie, you have the two parents (the smaller sharks) who are given the steroids or whatever to make them smarter and increase their brain size so when baby shark comes out (second generation), it's got an enlarging brain and the body has to grow to compensate for it.

I suppose if they kept the cycle going, the third generation shark would have been close to 80ft long and approaching Megalodon size.

If at first you don't succeed, remove all evidence you ever tried.

Great Whites actually only get to be 12-18 feet. The largest one on record is an abnormally large 23 feet. The Jaws shark (25 feet) and the Jaws 3 shark (35 feet) are bogus.

The largest Great White Shark on record is 20 feet, which is the shark baned Deep Blue.

The biggest Tiger Shark ever on record is 25 feet.

I laughed when I heard him say that. Also "8,000 pound Mako". Maybe he confused them with a small Megalodon?

reply

Yeah 45 feet is massive. I guess because they were experimenting on it, that's what made it grow so much.
