- I look back at one of the better shark movies of recent memory: Deep Blue Sea (1999); its conception, production, and growing legacy.

It’s the second best Shark Film of all time. I absolutely adore it.
Disagree. Don't get me wrong I absolutely love the flute scene. It is a very very Fun movies but Jaws 2 was definitely better than it and honestly so was the shallows. But it was a very entertaining movie and one of those bad but great movies.
Thicker Constrictor I disagree. I don’t think it was bad at all. I think it had lots of clever ideas. And great acting. Jaws 2 isn’t bad, its just not great.
What's the first then?
@@LNo-re7sk Jaws, for me. Truly great.
Second best Shark movie is The Reef closely followed by The Shallows.
I'm not going to lie. This is one of those guilty pleasure movies that I can watch anytime it pops up. Will I purposely put this thing in the blu-ray player...of course not. That's ridiculous. But when it's on, it's fun. LL steals the show, Thomas Jane and Samuel L are the usual coolness, and the music (sans LL's head like...hold up...I actually napster'd that song back in the day so I can' say anything bad about it) is rocking good time.
Agree
I liked it. The scene when Jackson gets picked off so surprised me that I didn't notice it's supposed phony look. The female lead was sexy, the action was well staged. Although certainly no Jaws, it did it's job.
This movie is my second favorite shark movie and is a guilty pleasure for me.
That Jurassic Park transition actually made me laugh.
I remember seeing this with a friend at a late night midnight showing. We still talk and laugh about the Samuel L.Jackson scene till this day lol
10 times in a row. I now find that scene quite soothing. Thank you.
Ever hear of the Deep Blue Sea drinking game? Take a shot every time Thomas Jane falls or gets knocked down. After 20 minutes into the action you'll be like, "look how real that f*cking shark looks."
I loved this movie, and it was the first dvd I rented when I got my first DVD player.
And Sam LJ death wasn’t as bad as the delayed reaction to the shark grabbing him, looked so ridiculous!
Lets be serious Deep Blue Sea is the second best Shark movie after Jaws. All the others are either straight up Jaws rip offs, way too comical to even be considered, or just doesn't give you the sense of dread or fear like one would want in a shark movie. Jaws was basically a horror movie with Bruce the Shark in the Michael Meyers role. Deep Blue Sea was also a Horror movie although more akin to the likes of Child's Play. It surprises you and gives you that sense of dread and discomfort with a side of camp and corny. Movies like Open Water and the Reef are honestly pretty boring and if not for the "based on true events" wouldn't really be entertaining to anyone. What pushes those movies is the same thing that pushed Texas Chainsaw Massacre. It's the "that actually happened to someone" affect. Even if it's greatly exaggerated or just plain slow/boring, because it happened to someone it connects to viewers on a emotional level and makes them cling to everything that happens. While Deep Blue Sea is closer to the realm of a fun horror movie with an impossible villain and that makes it more fun, think Freddy Krueger. "...what you've done is taken God's oldest killing machine and given it will and desire." "What does an eight thousand pound mako shark with a brain the size of a flat head V8 engine and no natural predators think about?" Annnnnnnnnnnnnddddd that's my opinion.
That robot shark is stunning, looks and moves so realistically.
I love it, in it's not perfect, lack of character development form.
It hits right in the nostalgic feels for me as a 90's horror loving kid.
Loved this movie in the theatres back then and still love it today!! Great job with the Review.
It's not Jaws, but it's not Jaws 4 either. Somewhere in between ...
Some other great shark movies (besides this and the original JAWS):
Twelve Days Of Terror
Open Water
The Shallows
47 Meters Down
If deep blue sea is the best shark movie next to jaws then clearly Airplane is the next best air line movie to Passenger 57 right?
@@redwineisfine Air Force One, Turbulence, Executive Decision, Red Eye, Flight Plan. There's quite a few good airplane movies.
Layton Eversaul its a jaws 2
Your stuff deserves more views. Great stuff. Looking forward to that Punisher video! Hah
Just discovered your channel and I am loving it man. Keep up the great work!
Felipe Campos Thank you! Will do!
It makes u think twice about messing with gods creations because a mistake can be seriously consequences
I was living in Japan when I first saw it. There it was just called "Deep Blue". (Diipu- Buru) I can still hear the Japanese trailer guy saying that. lol
I remember thinking that The Reef was ok...actually fricking terrifying in parts
'Deep Blue Sea' is one of my biggest guilty pleasures.
I absolutely love this movie!!!!
The SLJ/Shark moment was a shocker in the cinema. No one noticed how shit it was.
Dude really played the shot 10 times in a row...
🤣🤣🤣🤣
I love these "the story of" videos . So well done. I just want them longer lol.
Deep Blue Sea was way better than all the other shark movies afterwards... including The Reef. So yes, for me ranks 3rd after Jaws 2 which is the best second shark movie ever.
This movie has the best animatronic scarry sharks
I like this movie.
Just came across your channel, and I dig ya content...When seeing this in 99, that Sam Jackson scene made me jump, but now watching it more than 10x in this video, now it's ruined lol.
Haha
It’s mindless blockbuster. It’s the kind of late 90s movie you need to watch with a grain of salt. But it has its charm, and the fact that Saffron Burrows character dies makes it unexpected. Personally, I never saw her as the vilain of the film. It’s such a meat headed and one track thinking views of thing. That would fit today’s mentality perfectly. I don’t think it’s the second best shark movie either, but it sure delivers and is fun to watch, despite some questionable CGI. I take this over the Meg any day.
Fun movie. It's basically Jaws meets Aliens meets The Poseiden Adventure. Genius.
You should do a top 5 shark video list!
Great! I'll invite you over - you can be in it! In fact, I'm giving you my channel.
I remember us renting this movie not too long after it released and it wasn't bad, pretty solid in fact. However it was lessened at Sam's death cause, hilariously, my family couldn't understand what he said right before his death so they rewound it like 5 or 6 times much like you did, bringing that old memory up.
I first watched this movie on DVD in 2006 and I loved it. Yeah the CGI was a bit dodgy but overall i feel it delivers on the scares and the paranoia of being underwater with bloodthirsty sharks.
Its especially terrifying to someone(moi) who is actually afraid of being in the ocean and well..sharks.
I really enjoyed it.
Nice review.
Wow my memory must be getting bad. I had no idea this opened around the same time as Blair Witch Project. It must've generated some interest if it opened just behind that film.
I remember when this came out. Or I remember seeing ads for it.
Second greatest Shark movie ever!!!!! #facts
Loved this movie
Layton: “Have you seen the sequel?”
Me: “Which one?”
You're right. The Reef is the second best shark flick to JAWS.
Thomas Jane actually reprised his role as Punisher in a short fan film to make up for the movie. Its called Dirty Laundry and its pretty good for what it is.
I saw this during its original theatrical run for the unusual (?) reason that I was a huge Renny Harlin fan at the time. It was a slight disappointment at the time, given my lofty expectations, but was still quite satisfying, and it has certainly aged beautifully, CGI-warts and all - and yes, it is probably the 2nd greatest shark movie of all time. Albeit more shark action than horror, in my book. I was very pleased with the unexpected move to kill off Saffron Burrows' unlikeable character, and very surprised that OTHERS were surprised that Samuel L Jackson was also killed off. Everybody knows that the only famous actor in a horror movie will get top billing, UNLESS he or she is going to be killed off - right??
I enjoyed the movie I saw it on Netfliks.
Honestly, better than it has any right to be... .I know that after hearing the line of dialogue about How the shark got smarter, one would expect Shakespeare
Loved it growing up! Saw it when it first came out on video at a friend's house when we were 8. Not really a movie for an 8 yr old either in hindsight. I certainly view it as one of the few legit "decent" shark movies out there. Jaws 1 & 2 I like more but this one would possibly be number 3 on my list with the Shallows and The Reef as the next 2 shark movies...actually add in the first 47 meters down as well and that'd be my shark movies list. Would love to see you do a video on Lake Placid as well. Came out the same year and it spawned a ton of terrible sequels.
Saw it on Video/DVD. It was basically my favorite shark movie up until The Meg happened.
I saw a UK preview of the movie in October 1999 and as much as you mock Samuel L Jackson's death, the audience collectively jumped out of their seats. In fact I struggle to think of a bigger shock moment I've seen in a cinema. I still think it's a great Saturday night fun movie.
I can't believe you used a fucking Blockbuster commercial
X100- "my head is like a shark's fin. Deepest, bluest."
Well you may claim that Mr Cool J's lyrics make no sense but I, Mr Eversaul, have a hand like a shark's fin. What? You can't disprove it! None of you can! Ahahahahahahaha!
@bigevilworldwide1 Really? Makes sense if Mr Cool J was a prankster man. I thought hand because he'd be like, you know, cutting fools down who doubted his mother told him how to fight.
Regardless, I still got hands like shark fins. And pubic hair like octopus tentacles. Show me a song for that!
It comes from the exact same lyric in his 80s song, “I’m Bad”. Search and take a listen...that’s a classic right there! 🙂
This was a surprisingly good film and Saffron Burrows looked like an ex of mine so that was a plus- I guess. The Samuel L Jackson scene was brilliantly unexpected.
Tbh... I really enjoy it... often.
My favorite 3rd favorite shark film. But thats not saying much.
That wasn't the biggest specimen they were trying to get the sample from.
Excellent videos. Very entertaining. Great find. Def subbed. I absolutely love deep blue sea. It's a little bit on the campy side but in a good way. I think that the shallows was better and I think that Jaws 2 was better
But it is a very fun movie and the shark animatronic was probably the best I've ever seen it was absolutely amazing. The CGI was subpar but we have to remember that it was only 1999. The characters for likable And who doesn't love a little bit of Thomas Jane, Michael Rapaport, LL Cool Jizzay and Samuel L mother fucker Jackson.
Deepest blues my hat is like a shark fin!
HUGE POP for the Jurassic park reference
Me and a friend went to see DBS. We laughed our asses off 15 minutes in and couldn't stop the rest of the way through, and pissing off a lot of dumb people in the audience. First, an arm gets bitten off, then the guy is underwater on a gurney and rammed by a shark into glass, compromising the dry interior. Then, seconds later, the emergency helicopter crashes violently, blowing the f*** up, causing a chain reaction where several stories of the science lab blow the f*** up. What are the odds all that bad luck is set off like a row of dominoes? Hilarious. One of the best comedies ever. Oh. Really? It's not supposed to be a comedy? Uh, this movie is f***ed up.
I will not compare it to Jaws. Deep Blue Sea is a movie great to watch love LL Cool J.
Love the movie.
I love this movie 🤘🤘
Absolute classic. Great deaths. Samuel L Jackson's death scene is one of the best I've ever seen, and still holds up to this day!
Sam Jackson character was really the only good character in the movie. LL Cool J was all right. Let the sharks eat everybody else.
I thought the majority of the cast was solid.
Michael Rappaport and Thomas Jane were good characters too
There are now two "sequels" to this movie and they are both very bad, wonderful
Two?
I didn´t even know about the first sequel...
Reef is really good!
I watched DBS 15 times dubbed in Spanish to learn Spanish
There was a sequel???
Did anyone ever truly enjoy LL Fool Jay’s music???? For real? Just wondering
Sometimes I think CGI is the worst and best thing that has ever happened to the film industry. I do like the movie but the CGI is just... Idk I have no words.
The shallows was a good indi flick....
Deep Blue Sea or as I call it The Underwater Punisher.
Great video. I remember liking the film but thought the main female was incredibly stupid. Her story about her dad who had Alzheimer’s? The reason for her research? All she needed to tell him was that Mom went the store and he would have blissfully forgotten about it. Instead, she needlessly tortured an old man over and over by telling him his wife died. This scene at the beginning had me fuming for the rest of the movie.
Really...10 times in a arrow...d**k!
Deep Blue Sea is nowhere even close to Jaws. If anything, Deep Blue Sea being held in high regard really only goes to show how awful the shark movie genre is as a whole. Our standards are so bad that something mildly palatable like Deep Blue Sea can be considered grade A.
Didn't like how the female character ended up, they coulda had all 3 characters survive, & she'd suffered enough!!
Why are you screaming the whole time? 🤔
Yes unfortunately i have scene both sequels.
What real sharks? There were no real sharks used in this movie/ They were all special effects.
XD 6.51 "It's sometimes unintentionally funny..."
DBS is a parody. Do you need a laugh track to spot comedy? It's not unintentional, the entire movie is a deliberatly hammy pastiche of bad monster movies.
So bad it's good
Science fiction films and horror films were way better with the old school special effects in the 70s and the 80s! 😘
4:09 And I thought Kubrick was a prick smh
Is it required to do the soy boy face everytime a youtuber who covers pop culture post their pfp.
I love the movie. It's a fun popcorn flick that you can leave your brain at the door for. I totally agree about the CGI - at its best, it's serviceable - at its worst it's... well absolutely dire. Like SyFy Channel dire. The animatronic sharks, on the other hand, are incredible and the shots of them swimming in the open water are chilling. The characters are pretty cut out and throw away with Saffron Burrows Dr being really the only one with any depth - it was a shame she had to die but it gave the movie a bit of bite as with killing Sam Jackson halfway through you were fully expecting her to survive, being the only female to make it to the end. All in all a solid, serviceable and fun 90 mins. Totally agree though that The Reef is LEAGUES ahead of this movie and remains my 2nd favourite shark movie (after Jaws and it's sequels)
keep up with the uploads buddy, love the content :) check out bad boy bubby
Thanks for watching! Will do.
Cgi effects are awful in this film I like this movie but i will admit that.
Saw it at the cinema on it's release and thought it was pretty bad. I wanted my money back hehe. Ironic that the scene when Jackson gets eaten looks way more fake than when Quint gets eaten in Jaws, and it was over twenty years later. In my opinion the second best shark movie is Jaws 2.
Cheers.
I've always hated Reny Harlin. I've always thought he was a terrible director. Atleast with what he did with nightmare on elm Street was trash. He kinda ruined the rest of the series with that MTV inspired BS.
Not a fan.
Renny box office poison Harlin
Bullshit elm street 4 is good cliffhanger is great die Hard 2 is a blast deep blue sea is fun so he's not complete box office poison don't buy your own Bullshit.
