What I learned from watching this movie


Bear with me, I'm doing this from memory, which is fuzzy because I zoned out through much of this.

1) Big speakers emit radio waves
2) We used walking tanks in Afghanistan
3) When a 10'x10' shark fin is circling your boat, you need to climb up onto the roof of the cabin before you can see it.
4) When you head-butt a leg on a drilling rig, stuff randomly explodes on-deck.
5) When you bite the wing of a jet fighter, it immediately bursts into flame.
6) A 4-legged tank, which supposedly can walk over any terrain, and did great in Afghanistan, upon falling to a 45-degree angle, will immediately explode.
7) Something that can sense radio waves can detect them from under the ocean. Amazing that we haven't figured out how to use radio communications in our submarines... speaking of which...
8) Submarines apparently emit radio signals.
9) Boomboxes emit radio waves.
10) There's some agency called OIB, which gets mad when its employees harrass oil companies.

Sorry, that's all I can remember. I'm sure more will come to me. It was a mediocre edutainment.

11) Bikini contests at the Dockside have all the excitement of chess matches.

12) OIB agents wear bikini tops under their blouses.

13) When you get fired from the OIB, you don't have to turn in your badge.

14) When a United States Navy submarine disappears, the search team effort will consist of one fast attack aircraft making one pass over the area.

15) No one will notice when the beach's entire lifeguard corps disappears within a 24-hour period.

16) Cheesy giant shark movies are not above a gratuitous "Jaws" reference.

17) Skipper Chuck peeks.

18) Lifeguard bathing suits are symbols of authority.

The only thing I learned is that when you think you’ve seen the worst film ever made this stinker comes along and really is the worst film ever!

19) Unscrupulous oil companies believe they can relieve our energy shortage with Feldspar and "Hydronic Energy" (whatever that is).

20) When guarding a beach from a sea-based menace it is best to turn your back on the ocean.

21) Giant sharks are actually ambush predators and can only attack people from behind, luckily people are blasé about their safety and uninterested when people draw their attention to the ten foot high dorsal fin sweeping in behind you.

22) Giant sharks can fly, which is, in a military man's expert opinion, "bad".

23) Don't worry about trying to explain how such a vast creature can walk on land and fly, just tell everyone it is "Super Shark" and they will accept this on face value but only if you are a fish expert and know science and stuff.

24) Legs on tanks are clearly The Future and just what you need on a beach - pity we never had those for the Normandy landings or we'd have shown those Nazis a thing or two!!!

25) Walking tanks are the best weapon against walking sharks and therefore must be much better at attacking infantry - like defeats like. I assume if there is a Super Snail attack they'd deploy a tank that slid around on its own slime trail.

26. When diving using normal regulators, you can hold "walkie-talkie' type conversations with your fellow divers and the person on the boat above.

27. Sharks growl.

You don't need to let the button go on a mic to hear the other party, just hold it down while talking and leave it pressed when listening.

Super Shark has a kick ass theme song, reminiscent of Shaft. Conclusion: he's the Shaft of sharks.

Jimmy JJ Walker will do anything for money, even act like Magic Don Juan.

Super Shark is resistant to flame throwers, they just chase him back to the ocean.

Do not ever shoot torpedoes or drop bombs on Super Shark, he will cause you to blow up.

OIB agents are crossed eyed.

Super Shark is tougher on the outside, more than they thought.

C4 will let you down after Super Shark goes by, but an OIB investigator is willing to risk life and limb to blow him up.

Getting drunk with a briefcase full of money is perfectly fine.

When asked what you should do if the shark comes back, even though you're a soldier with a machine gun, suggest praying.

Walking on fins and flying is known as "Adaptive Evolution".

The local economy depends on the beach being open by the time school gets out for the weekend.

In this world, you shake hands, not salute, in the military.

Walking tanks are far superior for deserts, than the tried and tested method of tracks on wheels.

Order the soldier to aim for the eyes, even though he can't even hit it at all.

It's ok to rip off "Jungle Boogie" for your soundtrack.

While an enlisted man may appear young, he actually saw combat with the 2nd Ranger Bn. in the early 80's and is thus authorized to wear the "Old Scroll" on his right shoulder.

I learned that a big, suspicious briefcase that is stuffed full of money is something that can be regarded casually and left lying around at bars and such.

I learned that Jimmie "JJ" Walker's career is pretty well finished.

I learned that when combing the beach for a giant shark that it's important to keep your back to the water.

I learned that Mega Tank, despite being successful when deployed in Afghanistan, is perhaps not the correct piece of military hardware to match up with Super Shark.

Rebecca Grant has a funny shaped head.

John Schneider talks like he's trying to suppress a burp.

If you sunbathe on a boat anchored right in the middle of the channel, the camera will certainly zoom in on your boob.

I don't think Rick heard her.

Actors who are looking to ad a feature roll to their list of credits will do their best to act natural in a stupid movie.

John Schneider hasn't had a hair cut since Dukes of Hazard.

Cellulite jiggles...silicone doesn't.

IV bags get left hanging around in hospital waiting rooms. And the coffee is free.

Even bad actors do their best to act natural in a stupid movie.

Sharks know to avoid torpedoes but will attack a sub.

A shark will eat divers and parasailers, and attack a submarine. But it loses interest in a boat if you turn off the radio.

JJ Walker got fat.

Stupid movies have even stupider sound tracks. "Don't do nothin' stupid with my love"

When photographing girls on a beach in broad daylight, make sure to have a flash attachment, and a really long lens.

Sharks hate bad music and photographers with ugly hats.

If a shark the size of a submarine land right next to you on the sand you will neither hear it or feel the impact.

Skipper Chuck wears the same clothes every day.

When you're shooting a movie on a really tight budget give the "military" toy guns and uniforms from the surplus store. But don't hire a technical adviser.

When F14 take off, they magically turn into F16s.

It flies. And That's bad.

The beach has to be open because the local economy depends on it. *beep* the people's safety.

In a world where sharks walk and so do tanks, they still use radio detonators that were built in the 1960s.

SPOILER ALERT!

When sharks blow up the only thing left is blood and kelp.

People still go parasailing even when the army is battling a Super Shark on the beach.

64) I enjoy masturbating to bikini clad women in really bad shark movies.

65) Jimmy Walker is still alive and has a healthy acting career still going for him. James and Florida Evans would be proud.

66) Life guards need to live each and every day like it's their last, cause it just could very well be.

67) The security of our nation rests in the hands (or legs) of walking tanks.

68) Super sharks get their own 70's sounding theme song. Snazzy!

69) Gina Gershon has a twin sister

70) Writing on IMDB message boards may result in you missing the ending of the movie. Damn this post.

Like Matrix, I fight for love.
