* AccidentallyCorrectWriting: It's presented as though the doctor did everything he could for one victim by zapping him with a defibrillator, but the result is exactly what would happen in reality if you defibrillated someone with a pulse; ''it kills him''. A defibrillator is only used if the patient is already flatlined; using on someone who has a pulse is a great way to stop their heart entirely.

Hot Scientist is no longer a trope


* HotScientist: Janet is a LOT more attractive than female lead Stella, who resembles [[Film/{{Morozko}} Marfuska]], ten years older.

Meganekko is no longer a trope. It's a Fanspeak term. Moving wicks to Bespectacled Cutie when appropriate.


* {{Meganekko}}: Janet wears big, Sally Jessie-style glasses when first introduced. Much later in the film, TheGlassesComeOff revealing Janet to be [[SheCleansUpNicely quite hot-looking]].

Added DiffLines:

* DidntThinkThisThrough:
** The woman who gave both her husband and her secret lover - who is her husband's '''co-worker''' - identical watches as gifts. Spelled out straight by her husband when explaining how he knew about their affair.
** The plan to protect undersea resources for future exploitation with a nigh-unkillable, man-eating, mass-reproducing sharktopus monster has certain flaws, in much the same way that planning to rig your garden with an atomic bomb to scare away neighbourhood pests would have certain flaws.

* MonsterMisogyny: Averted. Miller accounts for nearly every female victim, although given how violent his murder methods are, they may have rathered the fish got to them first.

* TheAlcoholic: Dr. Bob is at all times either drinking or cracking open a beer. The devil fish probably picked up a good buzz off of him. Naturally, the riffing on this starts off strong and doesn't stop.

* ThreateningShark: The film seems to be going for this, as indicated by the Italian title, but the monster is actually a cross between a bony fish and a mollusc. It's not clear whether this is a deliberate subversion or the filmmakers just didn't know what a shark is.

* MissingStepsPlan: Step One involves creating a monstrous man-eating fish which will destroy all life in the sea except for itself and propagate beyond anyone's control. This fish will be released to patrol resource-rich stretches of ocean to protect them so those resources can be exploited. How is this better than obtaining legal offshore mineral rights? How will the creatures be kept in the areas where WOI wants them to be? How does WOI intend to stop the fish from chomping their own employees too? Obviously you're just too old to understand. Too old ForScience And too old for your wife!
