-->"I knew they couldn't stay away from each other!"
* EpilepticTrees: In one scene, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I16_8l0yS-g a shark leaps 35,000 feet out of the water to take down a Boeing 747]]. After the disappearance of Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 while en route from Kuala Lampur to Beijing in March 2014, many joked that a shark must've eaten it out of the air, as the only explanation for why the wreckage still hasn't been found.
* {{Padding}}: In typical Asylum fashion, multiple clips are re-used over and over again to make the film longer than it is.
* SignatureScene: The scene where the Mega Shark pulls down the jumbo jet, ''by far and large.''
