Trivia:

John Barrowman revealed on "Friday Night with Jonathan Ross: (#11.10)" (2006) that the line, "I'm a little wired... what do you say I take you home and eat your pussy?" was intended to make Jenny McShane laugh, and was not intended to stay in the film, however, the line was left in the final cut. On Al Murray's "Happy Hour" (2007), he revealed that the actress , contrary to his expectations of her ability, gave no reaction. This was ideal as his line was dubbed to '...and watch I Love Lucy' for the HBO TV version.

Goofs:

Factual errors: The megalodon tooth featured is actually not megalodon: it is laterally compressed, lacking a scar and fine serrations, and does not have a v-shaped root. The tooth shown appears to be a member of the genus Isurus, the mako, or possibly what most scientists identify as the great white's true ancestor, Cosmopolitodus.

Quotes:

Ben Carpenter: C'mon, you mother. Come to papa!

Best line ever.

If you enjoy B-movies, this is one for you, plenty of nudity, a Tom Cruise look-a-like and even more stock shark footage. If that's not enough, the lead lady was actually in the first Shark Attack movie as a different character. This one makes me want to see the other two with my friends and laugh until I get sick. You really can appreciate a movie like this if you were an avid MST3K watcher. Oh yeah, contains the CORNIEST LINE EVER! You will not miss it, trust me.
