* IdiotBall: The mayor and police try to lure the shark in with chum, even though it's a ghost and ghosts do not need food.



* PoliceAreUseless: Naturally the police don't believe the story of ghost shark [[spoiler: but the trope is subverted in the third act both the mayor and the chief of police actually try to kill the shark after it kills Cameron but are both quickly killed in the process as neither of them are near the sharks corpse and [[RevengeBeforeReason are both on a boat surrounded by water despite both seeing first hand that the shark doesn't need to be in the ocean to kill people]]]]

* MauveShirt: In Mick's small amount of scenes he proves that he can't swim very fast nor can he climb out of a pool or onto a boat by himself. No need to mention he's the fattest character in the group of protagonists in a movie about a vengeful and hungry ghost shark [[spoiler: however, he is actually the second victim of the protagonist group; Taylor is the first]].
