    • Trivia
      The sunken cars license plate is 'Louisiana 007 o 981' This plate is used in several shark films throughout the years. The first instance was when Hooper (Richard Dreyfuss) pulled it out a tiger shark in Jaws (1975). The same license was pulled in Deep Blue Sea (1999) by Carter Blake (Thomas Jane) from another tiger shark.

      The shark portrayed in the film is supposedly a Bull Shark yet it is quite clearly a Great White and the tooth John throws into the water at the end belongs to neither species and has more in common with that of the Blue or Tiger Shark.

    I liked this film, watched it twice.

    I liked the setting and most of characters better in this film. I like Lou Diamond Phillips and found the spiritual buddy "Emery" pretty cool too. "Ice" was a little bit much but maybe that's what he would be like if he was forced to go out into the bayou. It was lower budget but just as suspensful. I don't watch a lot of commercial TV so I have missed all the Jaws reruns and I skip the shark attack weeks so maybe this seemed fresher to me.
