  • Award Snub: Despite being on the shortlist for eligible Best Documentary Oscar films, the film failed to be nominated in that category, much to the dismay of animal activists everywhere.
  • Awesome Music: The soundtrack is deftly orchestrated and combines appropriate music. Highlights include "Trouble At Shamu Stadium," which plays over the 911 calls about Dawn Brancheau getting killed; "Whale Hunt" is a dramatic accompaniment to the hunt.
  • One-Scene Wonder: Ken Peters, who remained calm after a whale dragged him down twice and used his scuba training to hold his breath.
  • Paranoia Fuel: Prior to the decision for the park to phase out their whale shows, going to SeaWorld after watching this documentary could leave one paranoid about witnessing more whale attacks.
