Things we learned from this movie. (Spoilers)


I think you all know how this is played by now if you've ever been on an IMDB board.

1. Giganto sharks will apparently be attracted by an open champange/wine bottle falling into the ocean because its red. Not because it smells or tastes anything like blood.

2. Genetically tampered with giganto sharks will become more intelligent because they have bigger brains. Which is why in real life whales rule the world due to the fact that their brains are far bigger than peoples.

3. The Giganto sharks using this superior intellect will devise a method of swimming backward even though its is physiologically impossible for a shark to do so.

4. Giganto sharks can recognize a gun even though sharks have terribly poor eysight.

5. When breeding giganto sharks presume that they can be held securly by a flimsy chain link fence.

5. Giganto sharks will work in unison and devise plans and traps for your party even though most of the species in this film are rogue creatures that would eat their own mother if given the chance.

6. Giganto sharks can easily swim through small corridors and bulkways making nearly 90 degree turns without getting stuck.

7. A giganto shark apparently only needs waist high water to survive.

8. Apparently the film 'Jaws 3' dosen't exist in this world, if it did these people would realize: Building anything underwater where creatures are likely to smash through your viewing window is a bad bad idea.

9. Said viewing window will crack slowly and not spring small leaks despite the incredible pressure from the outside.

10. You can survive getting your arm bitten off and being dropped under water, being chomped by a giganto shark and thrown face first into a window and still be concious.

11. Carter Blake has big brass balls

12. Never scream about your harrowing tale of survival and inspriational leadership abilities near an open moonpool if there are giganto sharks around.

13. When some large creature is attempting to eat you, don't hide in the oven, you'll only give it ideas.

14. Giganto sharks that want to escape into the 'Deep Blue Sea' will occupy their time by hunting you and your friends instead of say trying to bash down that flimsy gate.

15. You can easily mistake a small model shark with a giganto shark that you yourself created and worked with for sevearl months.

16. Wetsuits will apparently insulate you from electric shock.

17. Adding milk to scrambeld eggs is a mistake.

18. Once you've realized your folly of playing god through genetic engineering sacrifice yourself by slicing your hands open and jumping in the water with the giganto sharks, you might redeem yourself to all those dead people.

19. Helicopter piolots will not simply climb higher in altitude to pull a submerged victim from the ocean depths, their partner instead will waste precious moments fiddling with the rope mechanism.

20. Flooding ocean water is always uniquly the same toliet bowl blue color and never contains any trace elements such as plackton, seaweed, small fish, or any other various sea life.

Feel free to add your own.

21. Women are selfish and will save their own ass when it comes to closing heavy doors.

22. Gigantic sharks know how to use ovens.

23. Rather than just placing your bloody hand in the water, you should jump in to get the attention of a shark.

reply

haha . those are so true.

Number 17 is wrong, it's "some people add milk for density, this is a mistake" and he's telling us how to make the perfect omlette just thought id let you know.

reply

Number 5 is wrong as well. It wasn't a chain link fence. They described it as reinforced titanium, so it was incredibly strong.

And number one is arguable. The shark was a "smart" shark. It could have attacked the boat for other reasons... such as because they were human. Or the boat could have been making vibrations (with the music) and sharks are very sensitive to stuff like that. Blood in the water isn't the only thing that attracts them.

Also, the point about the sharks getting smarter would explain them hunting in groups. Some "Rouge" animals, such as sharks, lack the social capacity to work together because they are not evolved to the point where it is necessary for survival. However, more evolved animals, such as the wolf, lion, and dare I say, humans, have created social networks to increase their chances of survival. Oh... and not all sharks are loners... check into the blue shark, white tip reef shark, hammerhead shark and others. They school (sometimes just during the day), but are more social than great whites and others.

reply

24. Simply by having a bigger brain, you will understand the physical properties of density, mass, and buoyancy.

reply

25. Flares are easily cracked open and contain an inordinate amount of black powder.

26. A steel cable carries enough electric charge to ignite black powder...underwater.

reply

27. A bird can fly in one spot for a prolonged period of time... therefore getting its dumb ass eaten.

29.Samuel l jackson thinks snow is more deadly that giant smart killer sharks.

32.Scoggs could not find the vibrator janice uses.
33.L cool J stabs the shark in the eye with his cross but later it is magically better.
34.At the start of the movie carter has fins on but when he gets out of the water he magically has sandals on.
35.When scoggs in thrown into the generator by the shark and gets electrocuted carter and the shark do not.
36.Hot chicks must take there clothes off to kill sharks.

54. Whenever funding a multi-zillion dollars project based on an open ocean station, filled with the most expensive and sophisticated hi-tech apparatus one can only dream of, highly greedy CEO's could save some few bucks by simply not hiring an architect with at least half a brain to design it to be mounted over a reinforced platform, ranging from 30 to 50 meters above the Ocean level, plus a heliport, as any pro would certainly design for, say, petrol companies - those poor techno-absentminded, unprepared fools...

Re: #64

I think you meant to say "Blowing up" unless there was a dinner/date scene with the shark and LL Cool J I missed.

reply

lol

LMAO revisiting my old posts. Yeah I forgot the "up". I've made that mistake more than once, with hilarious consequences.
