It does not occur to Oscar that, as the heroic "Sharkslayer", he is now expected to ''keep'' killing sharks as the reef's new protector, nor does the possibility that Frankie's family would find out about his death and come after the sharks will directly target him for it, thinking him responsible. Cue an wanting revenge. Unsurprisingly, he has major OhCrap reactions when he does realize it.

* {{Irony:}} The one time that Oscar actually manages to defeat a shark - through leading Don Lino into an improvised, non-fatal trap at the Whale Wash - and is subsequently praised for it by the crowd, he takes the moment to finally admit to his previous lies, putting an end to his Sharkslayer persona for good.

* MoneyDumb: Oscar is shown throughout the first half of the film to be incredibly irresponsible with his money. Even before the film's events, it's said that he's gotten several "advance payments" from Sykes that he's spent on get-rich-quick schemes, all of which have failed, putting him in debt to Sykes for ''five thousand clams''. When Angie gives him her treasured family heirloom in order to get the money he needs, Oscar ends up betting it on a horse race and loses all of it.

* SlefMadeLie: The catalyst of the plot is Oscar taking credit for killing a shark (who was actually killed by an anchor while trying to eat Oscar) and being dubbed "The Shark Slayer" by the rest of the city, who shower him in praise and money. Oscar's CharacterDevelopment is him realizing that lying just to boost his self-image (and endangering the ones he loves when the rest of the sharks come for revenge) isn't worth it in the long run.
