| 3 | '''5-Headed Shark Attack''' is third in a film series from Creator/TheAsylum after Film/TwoHeadedSharkAttack and Film/ThreeHeadedSharkAttack. |

| 5 | !!Tropes: |
| 6 | |
| 7 | * AHeadAtEachEnd: 4 heads in front, 5th head is in tail. |
| 8 | * AnyoneCanDie: Standard for all Asylum films as long as you aren't a Sheppard. |
| 9 | * BigEater: Between its various heads' appetites, the shark somehow manages to scarf down at least 20 people, two other sharks, and large chunks of a ''humpback whale'' over the course of the film. Apparently the thing has even more stomachs than heads... |
| 10 | * CoversAlwaysLie: The shark is advertised as "shaped like a terrifying starfish". Even though one of the characters says this (especially silly since they only knew of FOUR heads when they said it), it simply isn't true. The four anterior heads are all lined up at the front; they do not fan out like a starfish's arms in any way. |
| 11 | * InspirationNod: includes line "get out of the water" from Film/{{Jaws}} which launched the shark horror genre. |
| 12 | * MilitariesAreUseless: The monster shark is downing boats and gobbling whales in Puerto Rico's inshore waters, yet the U.S. Coast Guard is apparently willing to let a bunch of aquarium interns and local police boats take it on without any assistance ... never mind that maritime safety ''and'' marine environmental protection are both explicitly in their purview. |
| 13 | * NPlusOneSequelTitle: N+2 title actually as it skips over 4. |
| 14 | * ShoutOut or FandomNod: Similar to ''Film/{{Sharknado}}'' nodding to ''Series/ZNation'', when confronted with a photo of the shark's anterior four heads they find it absurd, saying "that's absurd, like sharks swimming through tornadoes" |
