How did this even get made?!

Oh my gods, someone owes me 90 minutes of my life wasted on this piece of garbage. Whoever made this movie apparantly has NO experience with SCUBA diving, oil drilling, boats, guns, explosions, sharks CPR or for that matter anything remotely connected to the reality we live in. Heavy lift cranes just 'oops' fall apart. Sharks HOP out of the water in a killing spree even after eating multiple victims? And to top it off we're supposed to belive a babe like Kristy Swanson was married to Lou Diamond Phillips?

Oh, and please, God, don't EVER let Coolio be in another movie, the man CANNOT act to save his life. At least he got eaten.

Do yourselves a favor, if you're ever in the position to see this movie, perform surgery on yourself, you'll have a better time.

1) If it's so bad, turn it off. If you don't you've no-one to blame but yourself.
2) The "NO" experience scuba diving was shot underwater using scuba gear. It wasn't CG, ergo they did have scuba experience.
3) Sharks have been known to breach the surface. That's been documented (in great whites at least) off the coast of Cape Town. (www.ultimate-animals.com)
4) Kristy Swanson actually looks remarkably similar to Phillips' ex-wife, who (drum roll) maried Lou Diamond Phillips.
5) Coolio doesn't need to act to save his life- he acts for money and gets paid for it. Who's having the last laugh there?
6) Have you performed surgery on yourself? Possibly, since you were unable to press the channel button on your remote or, if it wasn't nearby, couldn't muster the massive energy required to get up from your couch and turn off the TV.
7) Just think- you wasted more than 90min of your life. After the fact you went online, typed in the movie and posted a comment. What's next, flyers? Oops- careful now, "someone" will owe you a week before you know it...
Suck it up and sock it to 'em...

Wow....I'm guessing you had something to do with this turd.....pretty detailed defense of a "T.B.S Original movie" to be a casual poster.
Frankly, T.B.S should just stop making them....I give as example, another massive waste of time...TBS's "Christmas Rush".....watch some, just for a giggle...then turn it off before you get any on you. It's like watching something written by a moralistic ninth grader.

(I only had to waste about 15 minutes of my life before turning it off)

Whole bunch of sour grapes from a batch of semi-literate apologists. This movie stunk, accept it, it had 0 redeeming qualties.

It wasn't that bad. I've seen a lot worse.(Blue Demon) This can't be called a "good" movie, but it was actually better than I expected.

For two of these points I have something to offer:
Bull sharks are renowned for their habit of jumping high out of the water, sometimes onto boats. And as far as the Swanson/Phillips pairing goes - i've seen far more unlikely couples in the real world.

I'm just wondering if the movie merits watching on a dull night in when there would be nothing else on.

Watch Trailer Park Sharks sometime. You'll be singing the praises of this one.
