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!!
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.
