Oh god I remember this movie. When it first came out, my parents called me and were saying how great it is and I needed to check it out. I thought it sounded stupid, just because a Shark's brain is bigger it can cure Alzheimers and they argued me and argued me and argued me how "great" this movie is and I don't appreciate good movies cause I watch too much "black and white shit" from the 1940's-1960's so yeah go figure.
Dude, I can't believe you decided to mention that fail rap without giving credit to the mega-chilling theme you hear at the very beginning of the film!! The moment I heard that theme in the theatre back in 1999, I got goosebumps all over me. And I still do.
It's even scarier than the Jaws theme for sure.
And for those of you who don't remember, it's the fourth track on the ost. You can find it on Youtube here: =yPiUQ25DF7w
this movie is shit! it has obnoxious music that keeps pounding for no bloody reason. it has underdeveloped characters yelling and screaming and arguing as though anyone gives a shit. it has samuel l jackson who only gets to talk bollocks, follows the others, and then gets eaten before any other major characters. and then the plot... oh my god, the idiotic plot. nothing makes sense, from the actions of the characters to the laws of physics the way this film interprets them. this is total shit!
So the girl that kills the shark with the electric cable goes through all that trouble to survive and then is killed in a totally avoidable and profoundly stupid way?That kinda makes me not want to watch it.People that just randomly become stupid in horror movies and do the dumbest thing possible that inevitably leads to their death just pisses me off.It happens in most horror movies but "I'm going to go for a swim with the super smart killer shark for no logical reason" is fucking stupid.
Sharks having bigger brains would not automatically make them way smarter. Intelligence is very much genetic and behavioral. In fact, a bigger brain would possibly make them retarded, because their physiology would be seriously compromised by sudden increase in size of any organ.
I understand empiricism and logic are not important to this genre, though.
You should also review Harlin's worst movie, DRIVEN, and his first one BORN AMERICAN which is a hilarious Finnish exploitation piece starring Chuck Norris's son...
Fuck Rennie harlen this guy cannot make a descent movie if his life depended on it. The Chick dying at the end was a pointless add on due to test movie fucktards. But for me the worst part of the movie was when the helicopter exploded and it appeared the the place was not made out of metal a non combustable material but explodium. First class review.
Lol your review highlights why brits couldnt have doen what the americans did in deep blue sea they act all arrogant and cool, we'd be like "erm cuppa tea lads?", health and safety would stop us changing the shark and wouldnt let the guy smoke in doors... and of course if they saw the extraordinary logic of the sharks we'd just go "what a load of bollocks" XD BIT ARROGANT INIT? XD. God made more than him jackarse XD
I love this movie and I actually wrote/edited a review for it (for an old friend, he deleted his channel but all of my reviews are still on YT, on an other channel and only in german), but anyway... This is one of my favorite movies and the 6.5 don't pisses me of, because shitcase chinema is just freaking entertainment as always. Thumbs up and continue the great work!
I'm a sucker for Killer Shark movies (even when anything not named Jaws or Jaws II sucks complete ass). I saw this in the theater, and aside from Thomas Jane (who is always so damn likable in anything he plays in), the only redeeming scene was when ...WARNING: SPOILER!!!!! WARNING : Sam The Man Jackson gets eaten in mid sentence. That scene scared me right out of my seat, yelling 'Holy Shit!!!", and I spilled my popcorn everywhere... DAMN! Wasn't expecting that....
That hot British chick got killed off in the end because the American audience disliked her character that much they complained in the first screening of the movie that she didnt die (because in the first cut her character didnt just randomly jump in the water to get eaten, hence she survived in the original cut) So to shut everyone up they killed her off in the last minute hense the lame lack of logic in her death....silly Hollywood
Great review, friend! this movie is bad, I know, and is much like a story I wrote once, but instead of being on sharks, was about intelligent mutant cockroaches that attack a laboratory X-D
In the film's original cut, McAlester lived, but test audiences made it clear how much they disliked the character (going so far as to shout "Die, bitch!" at the screen) as her actions had caused all that had gone wrong. Thus, the decision was made to re-shoot the ending so that her character died. Conversely, Sherman 'Preacher' Dudley, played by LL Cool J, was to die but test audiences loved the character so much that filmmakers re-shot the ending and had him live.
"Sherman 'Preacher' Dudley, played by LL Cool J, was to die but test audiences loved the character so much that filmmakers re-shot the ending and had him live."
I thought as much. Kinda reminds me of what they did with Ken Foree in Texas Chainsaw Massacre 3, even though he quite clearly takes a chainsaw to the skull!
Wow... that's finally been explained. When you see this, there is absolutely no fucking way Cool J could have survived that attack, and I couldn't believe it when they actually killed McAlester... it really came out of left field that they would stray from the typical Hollywood bullshit where the main couple will outlast all of the supporting characters. She really did have it coming.
as a guy who is terrified of sharks, i did jump a couple of time during this film, but it'll never be the icon that jaws is or as you say as shit as shark attack 3. LL cool j impressed me but that's cos i didn't expect owt from him anyway. great review, i like the new co-host and am looking forward to the good looking female co-host of the future. Long live CARLING 10/10
I really enjoyed this review. Great review. Love the moment where Jackson gets eaten by the shark - looks bad but is well funny. As for rappers starring in movies they can't really act so stay in the music industry. Keep up the good work!
Hey can I give you a suggestion?, try one of those weird Robocop and Terminator rip offs from the 90's, straight to video specially, like Class of 1999, Cyborg 1 and 2, Cyborg cop(with Jonathan Rhys Davies as the villian), and there was one of a cyborg race which I cannot fucking recall now that has to stop paradox or shit like that.
Man!, B and C grade Cyborg movies are must for shit case cinema XD
I remember loving this movie when I was younger. However, I didn't like that fact that this movie was predictable. And the fact that Mr. Jackson got killed. That dummy standing right by the shark and got his arm bitten off. Common sense states that you don't stand by a shark that big, and that close to it's mouth. >>
But I was happy that this movie decided to use animatronics. It's a good way to go with sharks.
He didn't even have to staple his leg back together or anything! I mean, nevermind that shark teeth are serrated and each individual t0oth biting into you is like being stabbed with a harpo0n. They can also break off, so even if it doesn't eat you to death, its teeth can get lodged in your flesh and your wounds turn gangrenous and you still die to death. Grizzly-do0oOo0oO!
I've got a funny feeling thet were gonna kill LL Cool J good and propper, but because the test audience said otherwise, they just shot some footage of him emerging in good health, even though he was quite clearly maimed!
haha this movie brings back memories, saw it at the cinema. ill take Jaws over it anyday.Great review as always John, glad iv been a shitcase fan for almost 2 years now.
This movie sucks! I hate everything about it; beginning middle and ending! L.L. The Bible Quoting Cook is one of my most hated movie characters. What I really hate about this movie is how Jane and the Cook lay all the blame on the woman scientist. It's not like she made the sharks smart for money or for the military, she's trying to cure a disease, but any of that gets lost the films VERY heavy handed don't mess with God Domain/Nature message.
@shitcasecinema I was watching this film with mates quite a while back getting near 2 years and I just laughed at the two most epic points in the film best is Jackson's death scene and the wierd convo afterwards with the guy shitting his pants (not literally) and the second being the fat woman getting blown up by a helicopter, everyone thinks im wierd to laugh at it but it is so fucking funny XDDDD
@shitcasecinema have you noticed that he loks exactly like the character of gregory dawson from 'gregory - diary of a nytcase', an episode of the comic strip?
tbf, when the lass jumps into the water at the end, that makes a bit of sense. i mean i'm sure there's more than 1000000 drops of water between her and the shark! billions more likely!
good review like, it's still entertaining as a fuck about film to watch with a friend and takeaway mind
Hey Shitcase I use to watch this when I was 5 or 6 it scared me but its not a bad movie it's really decent yet another great review that other guy is a boring reviewer Well Done.
