What I learned from Shark Attack 3


1. When you suddenly find a shark tooth and decide to try and look it up on a database, give up and seek help when you can't find a match right away.
2. Fibre optic cables transmit a lot of energy.
3. When the cable fails, switch it to the backup router. Somehow this will fix the severed line.
4. When a girl is feeling exhausted, the best way to get in her pants is to say "Yeah, but I'm really wired. How about I take you home and eat your pussy?" Girls fall for it. Every time.
5. Taking a photograph of a shark's tooth is done simply by holding infront of a camera and pressing the button. The shot will not contain any background, foreground, or any other elements but the tooth itself.
6. You know you are a good buddy with someone when you can randomly call them your bitch.
7. When launching a torpedo, a timer will let you know when the impact will occur. Somehow this will help with hitting a target.
8. Before launching that torpedo, make sure you have a keyboard next to you so you can type "SEARCH NEW TARGET", because everything is programmed with simple words.
9. When you are having a hard time controlling a submarine, a good line to use is "come to Papa!"
10. As you say that line, make sure you make totally orgasmic faces, like this is the best control job you've ever done.
11. After you kill a shark that's just slaughtered innocent civilians and nearly killed you, make a funny quip like "MEGALO-WHO?!" and get everyone in on the laughter. Their friends and colleagues are dead, but that joke will brighten up their day. On the way back to shore, continue making jokes. Everyone will forget about their horrible experience.
12. If ever you work in IT, design a system that beacons a red light and sounds an alarm when a cable is cut. This will somehow awknoledge that the problem is VERY serious.
13. Massive sharks will eat anything. They don't bother eating real meat, no. They prefer eating boats, emergency rafts, and Seadoos.
14. After a massive shark smashes into your boat from the side, it will not take on water and start sinking immediately. You have time to come in and start beating it with a bat while saying "DIE!" over and over again.
15. To emphasize speed, show someone's hand pushing on the throttle lever. Every time a boat's engine makes a sound, show the same clip.
16. When you're barely keeping up to a shark and going full speed, saying "FASTER!" will make you remember that you can actually go faster.
17. When sharks bite down on something solid, they leave one tooth behind 100% of the time.
18. To emphasize that a shark attack is imminent, take this tooth and ram it into a guy's leather folder on his desk. That should speak for itself.
19. "Always bring a backup" is the navy way.
20. Instead of giving the backup to the person who actually needs it, shove it in the sleeve of your jacket where that person will never find it.

What I learned: Apparently sharks will growl when they get out of water.

That was truly brilliant.

22. people usually carry baseball bats on their boats
23. Techies dont care about their job and smoke weed.
24. sharks can eat entire boats and motors and have no injurys
25. digital cameras can send photos you have just taken simultaniously to your computer.

thats all i can think of for now.

26. A large body of evidence - including a tooth of incontrovertible Megalodon origins and extensive video and photographic documentation - is clearly not enough to convince anyone that there is an incredibly dangerous prehistoric shark swimming off the coast of Mexico. The lawyers - I'm sorry, the REAL SHARKS - would never allow it.
26a. Actually, public skepticism could probably be abated if your video footage didn't look like a video game cut-scene and your photographic evidence appears to be shots of several Styrofoam dorsal-fin shapes which do not really resemble each other.
27. Rather than allowing an organization with some experience in sharks or naval warfare, it is much better to take care of your shark problem on your own with a crossbow, research submarine, and an antique torpedo of indeterminate age and reliability. Oh, and a crap-ton of car batteries.
27a. If the Navy is not available, you should see if McGyver is. He can usually be had for a modest appearance fee.
27b. Some research subs come conveniently equipped with weapons emplacements for mounting military torpedoes and massive cranes which can be used for placing large quantities of explosives underwater. Many dealers and body shops can also install after-market cranes which are invisible to everyone except those inside the sub.

Loved the sharks roar... and loved the fact the boats throttle can be pushed up several times to increase speed despite supposedly being flat out on each occasion...







Ha Ha Ha! You've got to laugh when you fall off a sofa... bloody sofa

reply

28. palentologists bring shotguns with them when they go anywhere
29. shotguns will blow a hole through a sharks head after theyve been underwater for a few minutes
30. you can put candles in your shower and they wont get wet.
31. some girls like to go topless on public beaches when children are around.
32. when a girl is being eaten by a shark she will have time to give her necklace to another women who is trying to save her.

reply

33. Not only do these sharks growl when they attack, they also chew their food instead of shaking it.

reply

34. When at a mexican resort, keep an eye out for girls who surface from the pool like they are doing a photo shoot for Playboy.

awesome list! the werid part is, i had made a list like 6 months ago before i ever saw this! i love it when i find people who love this movie as much as me!! here is my list:
Things I learned and/or think are awesome from Shark Attack 3: Megalodon:

1) Sharks growl underwater and while eating.
2) I never knew “submariner” was a job
3) The token Navy vet with framed pictures of G.W. Bush and Dick Cheney in his living room loves America, although for some reason he lives in Mexico.
4) Filmed in 2002, the computers are of higher quality in the movie War Games
5) What’s Chuck Rampart’s job? Navy vet? Diver? Submariner? Computer Hacker? You decide.
6) I never knew “The Navy Way” was to carry two of everything
7) Everything about Davis and Friedman (we’ll elaborate later)
8) Mexicans hold entire conversations by simply saying “Hola!” and drinking beer the way Napoleon Dynamite drinks Gatorade.
9) I learned that if someone yells at me to say they see me, and are driving right at me to come rescue me after we’ve made verbal contact, I should always yell “HEY! OVER HERE!” just so they know where I am.
10) When filming a movie, you can never show someone pull up a boat throttle enough times, nor can you show someone moving a steering column on a helicopter too much.
11) It is incredibly easy to snap a picture of something (namely, a shark’s tooth), post it online, and have it have a plain black background as opposed to the background that was there when you took the photo.
12) The best pickup line in the world is, “I’m just so wired, what do you say I take you home and eat your pussy?”
13) You can film a scene of 2 people lighting a candle in a church together and splice it anywhere into a disaster movie, and it’ll fit.
14) Lawyers are the real sharks.
15) Davis will do anything with a pair of tits
16) Davis has to ask Friedman if he remembers his trait of being the ass man. He does.
17) Davis’ laugh and clapping resembles a 2-year old
18) When you have the most dangerous shark on Earth a few feet from you, it will suffice to clip a carabineer and rope to the belt loop on your jeans if you feel the need to hang from the side of your boat, it should hold.
19) When you now have the necklace of a girl who died whom you’ve never met in your life, it is the most valuable treasure you can own, and you should keep it with you at all times.
20) Yacht’s have excellent soundproofing, so much that screaming, wood breaking, growling sharks, and shotguns won’t be heard by those on the main deck.
21) Megalodons can easily swallow an entire speedboat.
22) Easi sounds an awful lot like “East Side”
23) When casting a movie, the more people you cast whose last name ends in “V”, the better.
24) Old navy men like to swear a lot
25) Computer hacking is easy, simply type in the words onto a generic screen of what you’re looking for and, BAM!, there it is!
26) Grenades are a dime a dozen
27) Submarines are immune from grenades
28) The look on the girl’s face when big-nose head-of-the-town guy steals her life vest is priceless. “What? Why?”
29) If your boat isn’t sinking and there is a shark the size of a Greyhound bus in the water, it is in your best interests to abandon ship ASAP.

my friend alicia's additions:
# It's okay to insert footage of deep sea fishing from 17 years ago into your new movie and pretend like it's from today

# Hmmm, I wonder if this extremely large "mystery" shark tooth I found matches the teeth of this dead shark I found on the beach, which I determined was a sand tiger shark by looking at its small, skinny teeth. Better check.
# Who doesn't love unnecessary boob shots?
# The official title of this movie should have been Shark Attack 3: Megala Who?

- A boat munching shark is a new and frightening thing for a marine biologist and a private coast guard, but its old *beep* to helicopter pilots
- A bigger, badder megaladon always follows a small on around
- Girls laugh at other peoples deaths and in high tension situations
- Megaladons growl
- When getting eaten by a megalodon - you do not get crunched up or chewed or die- you simply disappear like data
- Megaladon's teeth are made of plaster of paris and have a perfect shell like pattern(yes, its that obvious)
- Always carry grenades onboard your yacht in case their is a massive shark
around
- 'Theres gotta be another way' can be said over and over again..and there will always be another way. What was the point of the first way again? Is the continuum broken in shark movies?
- Yachts unaffected by shark attacks vanish immediately after the shark is dead

16) Davis has to ask Friedman if he remembers his trait of being the ass man. He does.



so *beep* funny!!!!


I have to return some video tapes.

reply

oh, i also learned that davis is the best camera man in the world becasue when he films shark footage from a boat of a shark eating a hunk of meat, his camera can magically be half underwater and half above water while displaying the word "Record"

I also learned that the proper spelling for mystery is actually "mistery" when paleontologists search for sharks online.

reply

This is the greatest thread in the history of IMDB!!!

reply

Also: You can't let people on the beaches when there is a SHARK out there!
When a species of deadly prehistoric shark is in the water, lie to people and say it's a "rare Mako".
Sharks know exactly where the cable to a parasail is.

"Now What?"
-Treat Williams, "Deep Rising"
