* Everyone talks about the shot of Franklin getting grabbed by a shark mid-speech, the iconic scene of the movie. But that's not the entire scene. Right after the character's react in shock, we get a shot of the Female carrying him off in her jaws. We actually see him struggling pushing his hands on her snout, only for one of the other sharks to come up, grab him by the head and shoulders and the two yank him apart like a wishbone. The music during this scene, a hellish cacophony of horrifying vocalizations, doesn't help.

* As mentioned on the main page, Janice's death (while possibly preventable and kind of dumb) is just sick and wrong if only because the shark somehow decides to surface a second time and everyone left alive is forced to actually ''watch'' the shark finish killing her when they were only inches away from saving her. It's doubtful the sharks did it intentionally--that would somehow require them to understand human behavior and intelligence wouldn't just magically cause them to comprehend it--it's the ''filmmakers'' making sure you see what a horrible death she had to endure. ''Yeesh.'' If you like gore, this is it.

* How about Jim, the lead scientist who was strapped to the gurney and used as an underwater BatteringRam by a shark to break the observation window? Made ten times worse by the fact that that he was not only still alive because of his oxygen mask, but ''awake''. *shudders*

* As the image shows, the sharks being giant Shortfirn Mako sharks instead of the more often used Great Whites arguably gives them even more of a nightmarish visage than many movie sharks before and since.
** What makes them scarier is they don't look like traditional shortfin Makos either. No, they look like a cross breed between a great white and a Mako.

** What makes them even scarier is they don't look like traditional shortfin Makos either. No, they look either, but rather like a cross breed between mix of a great white Great White and a Mako.Mako - they have the general outline and appearance of Great Whites, but the thinner snout and [[ScaryTeeth pointed, jagged teeth]] of Makos.

* Most of the shark kills, but one in particular: half of a guy is eaten... and then the foot twitches.

** Pay attention to him, and you'll see him ''struggling to get off the gurney.'' He ''knows'' what's going to happen to him, he's visibly scared, and he can't do a damn thing about it. Right before impact you can see him close his eyes.
