You guys should really watch Shark Hunter, it's so under appreciated but I'd say the 3rd best shark film I've ever seen n I'm a shark nut who's seen a lot of em
Also I seen you guys watch Tremors, the sequels are all really good 2 was best but you should watch them all, especially since the guy who played Earl died
This is one of my fav movies of all time and I saw it in the theaters. I’ve NEVER interpreted that scene in that way! This is the first time I’ve heard that thought. I never thought the shark was recognizing her. I thought the shark was so smart that it was realizing that if it went for her it would get speared, so it waited just that one moment and when he dropped the spear and lept into the water the shark knew it was then safe to attack. Plus when he jumped in, the shark new it was 2 for the price of one.
Basically to add on, she was using herself as bait. But then shark in turn used her as bait. Had it immediately killed her, the shark would have been in range for the spear, and 2 there would have been no reason for the guy to drop the spear. I think the shark was baiting him.
So one of the things some people miss about the sharks. In the beginning Carter mentions ‘it took two to slow her down’ and Scott responded ‘you missed’ He clearly didn’t miss we see that. When he brings the shark into the lab he only shoots it once, it was awake the entire time because it needed two.
Just to let you know he said "it took two to slow it down & he was talking about a Gen 1 male, being that the Gen 2 female is 2 times the size of the males & she was 45 feet & it was a 25 foot boat
The scene with Samuel L. Jackson is now an Internet meme! Author Stephen King, whom ended up in the hospital after he got hit by a car, watched the movie on VHS a friend of his gave to him and loved every minute of it. He named Deep Blue Sea one of the best movies ever made.
That Samuel L. Jackson moment got us good! We were expecting him to make it! Also we're loving the fact that Stephen King enjoyed the movie, he is amazing!
This movie was so fun. I was a kid and watched it with my dad when it came out and we laughed so hard when Sam died, we never expected LL to make it either. Good memory of time spent with my late father attached to this film ❤
@@OfficialMediaKnights great use of making the colors pop when the station is flooded! All the deep blues of the water and the fact that they didn’t go the murky, dim lighting visual mistakes that too many horror and thriller films make. Like “let me see the damn movie!”
The lead Scientist was suppose to survive but the test audiences felt it was wrong that she lived when so many died because of her, so they did reshoots.
Sam Jackson and Susans death were the most surprising, and it honestly works good for the narrative making it feel that nobody is safe and theres little plot armor.
@azazello1784 The monster meets its maker trope is the most predictable ending in cinema history though. I would've gladly taken the "predictable happy original ending" over the silly, cheap, uneventful cop out we got that opened up a plethora of plot holes and ruined the overall narrative. Not just her surviving, but the entire third act was altered due to her comically silly death - as was the overall story as she was supposed to be the main character and the filmmakers were forced to go back and axe so much content and dialogue that involved Susan to make you feel more impartial toward her and so she'd seem like less of a central figure when in reality, it just made her character bland and uninteresting while transforming the movie into a silly popcorn flick. It's like Batman vs Superman vs BVS Ultimate Edition. They sacrificed quality to appease a few gore hounds.
@@DeepBlueSeaFan I'll believe that when I see the original cut and think it was better. if it ever gets released. as it stands, this is a good movie and she dieing is perfectly fine karma for what she created/unleashed and failed to properly care for. much like hammond in the jp book. only she actually tried to help in the end, while hammond remains the same. so she gets some redemption.
Imagine seeing this as a kid not knowing what it was and it being your first shark or horror movie. It took me YEARS to not be afraid of deep water, hell I was even paranoid about sharks in the swimming pool. This movie is still absolutely terrifying
Hahaha I can only imagine how traumatizing that must have been!! We're grown ass people, we're still scared 😂 the movie really did such a good job at building the tension and with the scares! Such a fun ride!
It’s actually fairly common for sharks to breach and they can actually get pretty high, there are lots of videos. Sharks are also one of the many animals on earth that are cannibalistic. Also, sharks can never swim backwards cuz it doesn’t give them the right water flow over their gills for oxygen, so them swimming backwards was alarming.
I think breaching in sharks is still pretty uncommon. We see videos of it because there's a particular population around South Africa that use it as part of a unique hunting strategy for a particular context, but other than that, it doesn't happen very often.
@@michaelccozensgreat white are really the only shark can breach. And they can breach in other locations in if they provided enough things, like depth, murkiness and what they be hunting.
@@michaelccozensnot for Great White Sharks it isn't, it's mostly common with them but these are Mako Sharks n it's not usual for them to breach, that's mainly something Great Whites r famed for
Saffron Burrow’s character was supposed to live at the end, but test audiences were adamant that she die at the end since it was her genetic modifications that caused the sharks to become smarter and kill everybody.

I wouldnt have minded if she had survived. OK her experiment backfired, but she helped everyone get out and killed one of the sharks while she was at it. Oh well....
Fun fact : when Carter said the shark was 45ft long, it's because a shot of the CGI shark in the final act was gigantic, the actual size was 25-26 ft( the same size as Bruce from Jaws) P.S: the species are Short fin Mako sharks, a cousin of the Great White.
Whenever you get someone was talented, charismatic AND good-looking as Thomas Jane and they don't quite get the career that they clearly should have had, my first thought - male or female - is always "who did they refuse to sleep with?"
The thing about Sam Jackson's death scene was that if it had been ANYONE else, we'd all have seen it coming because: 1. Carter warned him not to get too close to the pool; 2. He was the only one with his back to the pool with everyone else literally on the other side of the room; and 3. He was making the obligatory "inspirational speech".
23:46 It's called a Navy Crank Phone. It's a military invention from WW2, because in a water-rich environment, having a constantly powered phone could introduce a shock risk. So, when you need a connection, you spin a crank, which spins a magnet inside a coil of wire, creating electricity. The other half of the system is that the handset is sound-powered, so that the crank "calls" the phone of that you have selected on a separate dial, and then the phone itself converts sound waves into electricity to send along the wires. It's a pretty robust technology, so much so that it is even still used today on a lot of ships that spend a lot of time out on the water... think tankers, cargo ships, even military ships like the Nimitz-class aircraft carriers.
The animatronic sharks were done by Walt Conti Productions while the CGI sharks were done by Oscar Winning VFX company Industrial Light And Magic as well as 10 other VFX companies to bring the sharks to life
They did a fantastic job! Both the animatronics and the people behind the vfx! Not to mention the crew that built those sets. All the work done was very impressive!
@@OfficialMediaKnights the cool part was that the animatronic sharks were fully able to swim and were wireless so there were no cables hanging from them. pretty damn cool
My favorite shark movie ever. The "You ate my bird" line always me smile😂 Jaws started it all and Deep blue sea pump it up by making these sharks way more smarter
Na the shark from JAWS was way smarter!!!! He took them out to the deep water & kept them all there & was smart enough to breach onto the top of the boat to sink them!!!! These sharks are smart but kinda mad autistic also 😂
My favorite shark movie. The simple idea of making sharks smart just added a whole new dimension of "you're fucked" to the movie. I'm also a sucker for smart predators in movies, so that helped. Also, a black guy survived a 1999 movie ! Progress ! Although I chuckle that their way to solve the "kill the black guy" trope was to just add a second character of color.
That’s exactly what we thought while watching! Making the sharks smart definitely elevated the stakes. It was such a thrill to watch! Also yes 😂 a black dude surviving at the end of a 90s horror is a rare thing to see but glad this movie tackles things differently. Also giving us a very iconic death scene to balance things out a bit
*The director was Finnish film director/producer/screenwriter Renny Harlin, who also directed "Die Hard 2 - Die Harder" (1990) , "Cliffhanger" (1993), "The Long Kiss Goodnight" (1996), "Mindhunters" (2004), "The Covenant" (2006), "Cleaner" (2007), "12 Rounds" (2009),.....* 📀📡📺
I remember those old Zip drives (@9:32). They costed a fortune, held next to nothing and were replaced by USB thumb drives about 18 months after they came out 😂
This whole time y’all watching this y’all didn’t know the chef is LL Cool J, the famous rapper from the 80s. lol One of my favorite classic movies from the 90s. 👌🏿😎🌴🌙
This was the first time I noticed a film pull something like that (decades before Game of Thrones became popular), and it's surprising how rarely you see it pulled off. Like, it definitely happens more in horror films, but I feel like they just did it so much better in this gimmick film than it had any right to.
And NEXT ya’ll gotta react to the movies, “Lake Placid”, “CRAWL” (underrated), and “The FALL” (you easily figure everything out very early, but it’s still entertaining in a way).😄
Best line of the entire movie was " What does a genetically enhanced mako shark think about"? The answer is the movie title. It thinks about the "Deep Blue sea."
Lolz the Meg??? That was 🗑️😂😂😂 The Shallows was a million times better ❤️ The Meg had not a single moment in it that even made my kids jump or take it seriously 😂 they all laughed at it
@@MermaidMusings7 don't forget the shallows. Now if we're talking about TV movies. I recommend red water with Lou diamond Phillip and Coolio and spring break shark attack
This IS one of the better shark movies out there. Honestly when I first saw this it was completely terrifying. I was sweating profusely from the intense action. =)
@@clevelandcbiJaws is pretty boring imo Like, it’s an amazing movie, but even when I was little and saw it for the first the I wished the shark did more and didn’t find it scary Then I found deep blue sea and worried one of those smart bastards would swim up my shower drain 😂😭 Idk there’s just so many good shark movies out there now, it’s weird how people won’t let Jaws go 🤷♀️ or at least bring it down a peg 😂 it is not all that
Nice reaction guys....I saw this film for the first time when I was like 8 years old or something and it scared the hell out of me lol...I absolutely love LL Cool J and Thomas Janes' characters
It’s such a thrill! We’re so happy to bring this into the channel and have so many 90s kids share their story’s of when they watched this for the first time. They both were amazing!
Listening to the audio commentary on the dvd with Renny Harlin,the director and Samuel L Jackson,when Jackson's character gets killed,Samuel L Jackson says something to the effect of "Well I'm dead,so if they can kill me off then nobody's safe!",always remember that lol.😂
Fun fact about that big scene where the water crashes through the glass with that big practical effect- it was a mistake. They were supposed to swap in the stunt doubles but something went wrong and the water dumped too soon so it was the actual actors!
Last year I worked in the place this movie was shot! In Baja Studios, where the Titanic was also shot! In fact, those studios were created just to shoot Titanic! They built a giant pool and they literally built the Titanic in it!!!
29:47. I love the fact that he gets into an Industrial Strength Oven to protect himself in, though it’s only for a brief bit. What’s also noticeable is the fact that Sharks have some blind spots! Meaning that while they can see forwards, they can only see what their trying to attack for brief windows :) So these scenes are handled really well.
I was pretty glad that they killed the lead researcher in the end (huge thanks to the test audience feedback for getting us that ending). Although her intentions were good and she does have some character growth, it felt wrong for her to survive with a romantic interest when she had been acting selfishly for most of the film while the rest of the cast were dying. Her having the gall to use herself as bait (esp throwing her whole body into the water, away from the ladder) and to expect that she still had a chance of surviving honestly made her surprise death feel warranted. I was glad to see that the chef character survived, he really went through it
I always refer to this movie as Jurassic Park with Sharks because they experimented with such a deadly creature that they put everyone nearby in deathly peril
One of my favorite movies of all time. I wish they had kept the original ending with Susan living and it would have been perfect honestly. Her character had a good arc in the film that sort of didn’t get to finish. They cut out some scenes that make her more likable as well, once they decided to change the end at the last minute. Still a great flick though. I’d love to see the original ending!
There's a movement growing to get the original ending released (via an online peti tion - check it out). Believe me when I tell you the entire third act is vastly superior and different to the theatrical cut.
(At 48:35) to be honest I don't feel bad Susan died. *ALL* of THIS was on her. Also, I realize that… everyone who wore those diving suits… still died! Guess that big shark was attracted to those suits Samuel L. Jackson suggested.
when ari said back to basics at the end, were the sswimmer dude explains how to blow up the shark, my brain scrambled it into, he's giving her the michael baysics, which is a hillarious way to explain to someone that things are about to blow up
It's confusing, because apparently the film crew built really accurate models of mako sharks - and then painted stripes on one to use as a tiger shark (despite mako and tigers looking very different in real life).
@@iapetusmccool yeah that’s one of the mistakes I’ve realized in the movie My guess is that since they were building these animatronics for 8 months they were in the middle of work to create a tiger shark but instead of wasting another few months they decided to paint one the animatronics with stripes to look like a tiger shark. Another difference we can tell are the CGI versions the Makos are a bit larger than the tiger shark
(At 5:15) looking back, I just realized something… that's NOT a real tiger shark. Their snouts aren't triangular. And their teeth don't look like that.
Such a fun watch, a perfect B-movie vibe but elevated by its self-awareness, cast and production value. The Sam Jackson twist was so well done - at the time (coming off 'Pulp Fiction', 'The Phantom Menace' etc.) he was _easily_ the biggest star in the movie so we all thought he was gonna be the main guy. (and bonus points for featuring _surely_ film history's only instance of "Chekhov's shark dodge" :)
Hahaha a Chekhov’s shark dodge indeed! It really was a fun ride. Making the sharks smart only elevated the film. Plus the incredible practical effects and sets. Definitely made it into our list of favorites!
I remember watching this with my buddies & the main thought within us was "If anyone gets injured, they'll be fine, they're scientists." So I like the fact that when they are getting the scientist to the helicopter, Susan says "I'm not this kind of doctor," because it shows that even with people like that, they're not safe.
Highly recommend Deep Rising! It's from the maker of The Mummy and was supposed to be a prequel to a future King Kong movie. The movie went straight to vhs due to studio interference, but it's totally worth a watch for some horror fun.
I recommend u good how high can shark jump out of the water, it was literally the first episode ever of Shark Week. A Great White Shark can jump 8-10 feet out of the water, the record even records is of 15 feet. Just imagine the speed n force of impact combined with there bite force with those sharp teeth. They literal cut there prey in half, even light bite made just to tests if things are food or not taken body parts n must of the time kill the victim by blood lost. PS: Thresher Sharks, the ones with that long pointed tail can jump 20 feet, and the Shortfin Mako has recorded jumps of 30 feet off the water. Half fun at the Beach n boats on open Ocean.
So I don’t know if this is a fact or a joke, but people say that LL Cool J made history by playing the first black character to survive to the end of a horror/thriller film. 😂 Love this movie.
One of my favorites! Lampshades every trope about shark movies with a big old tip of the hat to other flicks. If you want another cool ocean-themed one, I recommend Underwater. Crazy twist ending for that one too.
23:49 Yeah. Crank phones were some of the first phones in the 1930’s. This type was around up until 1983. Although, the crank-type communication in some cases has made a decent back-up in case main communication lines are down
If they didn't have the Samuel Jackson speech scene, do you think people would remember this movie as fondly? If there are respect points given out for having certain decisions in movies, for sure this one earned the movie enough on its own. Was also reminded how good practical effects can be and how much of an authenticity it gives to the audience's suspense.
Absolutely! We can imagine his death becoming iconic. It came out of nowhere and it’s definitely one of those movie moments you don’t forget! The practical effects in this and the sets were top notch!
Everytime Denise says "what do you mean" I think about the mem from Hotones where Jennifer Lawrence says "what do you mean" when Sean dabbs The Last Dab.
Imagine being from the generation who saw Jaws on the big screen, or at the drive in. Then Deep Blue Sea comes along and does it all over again. And since this was in the 90s. we still had Imax theaters. LOL. I love both films and your reactions to them. Good job.
Thank you so much for checking out both reactions! That means the world to us. These films have been fantastic. We’ve been honestly blown away by the technical aspect but also how much fun they’ve both been!
Saw this movie in the Theater with my family! We all Loved it. It has characters with personality, LL Cool J and Samuel L Jackson were great Characters in this movie!
Have to admit the audio work in this movie was impeccable. The dvd dolby digital track was amazing to experience on a good hometheatre setup. Cascading water asmr :)
I'm definitely a 90's girl too, and it's about time for me to find my favorite 90's horror comedy again, Idol Hands. At the risk of sounding old, they just don't make em like that anymore. I watch it to kick off every spooky season!
The part where that guy pulls the license plate out of the sharks mouth....was the same license plate that they used in Jaws when they pulled the license plate out of the sharks tummy. The exact same license plate. 🦈
24 years after jaws, 25 years after deep blue sea, we are due for a new epic practical effect shark movie, we have driverless vehicles.... we have the tech to make an amazing practical effect shark
This is my favorite shark movie. It had a combo of horror, intensity and some comedy humor in it. No one expected Jackson to die. It`s LL Cool J`s second best acting role. His best role was the movie called In Too Deep, which had some brutal moments.
@09:32 - not a floppy disk! They were called Zip Drives, and could hold an unbelievable 100 megabytes of data, as compared to the 1.4 megs a floppy disk could hold, where meg does not refer to a shark ancient or otherwise. Movie note: Samuel Jackson agreed to do this movie only if his character got killed by the shark.
I was about to comment that them calling a Zip Drive a floppy made me feel really old, since I had already owned my own PC for well over a decade before they even first appeared.
I was 14, 15 years old when this came out, watched it at the movies probably three time, and i still love it. It scared the crap out of my younger brother though, who refused to take a bath in the tub for like a year after watching it. lol
Sharks actually breach alot when hunting as they usually attack from the bottom to the top, that allows the shark to track its prey better against the surface light while keeping it camouflaged as the top half of their body is darker rendering it invisible for the prey. Not all species of sharks do this, the same way not all sharks are dangerous. 😀
Just FYI, that "resident badass" who swims with sharks IS Thomas Jane, and (IMO) His Most-Badass Movie Ever was "The Punisher" ('04). Y'all might wanna check it out...😉👌 Samuel L. Jackson and LL Cool J ( the Chef) worked together again in another Intense Action Thriller called "S.W.A.T." ('03)!!
This is actually my favourite shark movie! I'm a big fan of monster/horror movies from 90s-early 00s. So happy to see your insight on this movie, it makes me appreciate and love it more❤
I like the fact Samuel L. Jackson wanted to get eaten by a shark lol he wanted to get killed because that wouldn't be expected. I think makers didn't agree on it first...glad they did! I'd always get scared on that scene even i had this movie on DVD and knew it🙈. Liked hpw they were not typically Great White but Mako Sharks. And i always wondered how did they do the CGI on that 🦈 that Carter brought up? Later read it was a robotic shark 🦈(like JAWS). don't mind me i was born the same year this movie was released 😅
I first saw this movie when I was around 12 or 13.... Every time i watch it, it gives me messed up dreams, not nightmares, legit a weird recurring dream every time i watch it, which is sharks swimming in a beer cooler, no idea why, but that is how it has always been :| haven't seen it in years, maybe i should test to see if i still get that dream.
Sharks in a beer cooler!? Sounds like the sharks are threatening to destroy the very thing we love…beer Let us know if you happen to get another weird dream 😂
I loved this! Such a great reaction clip. You had so good audio both from the movie and also yourself. And you really seemed to enjoy the movie. Also you had me at start saying you liked Jaws ;) hehe
one of the few good movies about sharks made in recent decades. and as for the bad ones, we saw sharks not only on land, or in a tornado, but even on the moon!!

Perhaps the ORCA movie from the 70s another time?
Love how the shark looked at and recognized Susan, before killing her. It's like it was letting her know that what she did was messed up.
Yeeesss!! It was like she was telling Susan that this was personal - and therefore inevitable. So wonderfully creepy!
the creation getting Revenge on the creator.

He clearly didn’t miss we see that. When he brings the shark into the lab he only shoots it once, it was awake the entire time because it needed two.
Right!!! These sharks were so damn smart, and it makes it that much more eerie when you realize the shark waited for the right moment to strike...
Just to let you know he said "it took two to slow it down & he was talking about a Gen 1 male, being that the Gen 2 female is 2 times the size of the males & she was 45 feet & it was a 25 foot boat

Mako sharks are not that big. Did they increase their size as well? They are roughly 12 feet.@@OfficialMediaKnights
And Makos are among the fastest sharks, but I forget if that’s overall or by body length.
that "He's pissing into the wind how brilliant can he be?" Line always gets me😂
The shark switching the oven on will never not be amazing!
Whenever you get someone was talented, charismatic AND good-looking as Thomas Jane and they don't quite get the career that they clearly should have had, my first thought - male or female - is always "who did they refuse to sleep with?"
Yeah, I've never understood how he never became one of Hollywood's top leading men?
*61 was a good movie.
Exactly, Hollywood is filled with perverts and degenerates.
And all of those vote blue across the board.
You are the company you keep.
The thing about Sam Jackson's death scene was that if it had been ANYONE else, we'd all have seen it coming because: 1. Carter warned him not to get too close to the pool; 2. He was the only one with his back to the pool with everyone else literally on the other side of the room; and 3. He was making the obligatory "inspirational speech".
23:46 It's called a Navy Crank Phone. It's a military invention from WW2, because in a water-rich environment, having a constantly powered phone could introduce a shock risk. So, when you need a connection, you spin a crank, which spins a magnet inside a coil of wire, creating electricity. The other half of the system is that the handset is sound-powered, so that the crank "calls" the phone of that you have selected on a separate dial, and then the phone itself converts sound waves into electricity to send along the wires. It's a pretty robust technology, so much so that it is even still used today on a lot of ships that spend a lot of time out on the water... think tankers, cargo ships, even military ships like the Nimitz-class aircraft carriers.
Called the sound powered phone system and it is still in use by the NAVY.
" just beacuse you can, doesn't necessarily mean you should "
That's a Jeff Goldblum quote from Jurassic Park
Exactly!! He said it best!!
The animatronic sharks were done by Walt Conti Productions while the CGI sharks were done by Oscar Winning VFX company Industrial Light And Magic as well as 10 other VFX companies to bring the sharks to life
They did a fantastic job! Both the animatronics and the people behind the vfx! Not to mention the crew that built those sets. All the work done was very impressive!
@@OfficialMediaKnights the cool part was that the animatronic sharks were fully able to swim and were wireless so there were no cables hanging from them. pretty damn cool
Actually, the studio that did the CGI effects was Hammerhead Productions.
My favorite shark movie ever. The "You ate my bird" line always me smile😂 Jaws started it all and Deep blue sea pump it up by making these sharks way more smarter
Haha facts, this movie is definitely up there in our favorite shark movies!!
Na the shark from JAWS was way smarter!!!! He took them out to the deep water & kept them all there & was smart enough to breach onto the top of the boat to sink them!!!! These sharks are smart but kinda mad autistic also 😂
@@maralinekozial9131these are literally genetically enhanced. They're def smarter.
My favorite shark movie. The simple idea of making sharks smart just added a whole new dimension of "you're fucked" to the movie. I'm also a sucker for smart predators in movies, so that helped.
Also, a black guy survived a 1999 movie ! Progress ! Although I chuckle that their way to solve the "kill the black guy" trope was to just add a second character of color.
That’s exactly what we thought while watching! Making the sharks smart definitely elevated the stakes. It was such a thrill to watch! Also yes 😂 a black dude surviving at the end of a 90s horror is a rare thing to see but glad this movie tackles things differently. Also giving us a very iconic death scene to balance things out a bit
What’s funny is Jackson asked to be killed by a shark if does the movie. And the cook never dies in any movie he’s in
"Shark is an asshole". Sums up the movie quite well. Great reaction to such a fun movie. Kudos to the director, especially.
*The director was Finnish film director/producer/screenwriter Renny Harlin, who also directed "Die Hard 2 - Die Harder" (1990) , "Cliffhanger" (1993), "The Long Kiss Goodnight" (1996), "Mindhunters" (2004), "The Covenant" (2006), "Cleaner" (2007), "12 Rounds" (2009),.....* 📀📡📺
I remember those old Zip drives (@9:32). They costed a fortune, held next to nothing and were replaced by USB thumb drives about 18 months after they came out 😂
This whole time y’all watching this y’all didn’t know the chef is LL Cool J, the famous rapper from the 80s. lol
One of my favorite classic movies from the 90s. 👌🏿😎🌴🌙
My thoughts exactly! Like how did they not recognize him.
Killing off Sam Jacksons Character right in the middle of his heroic, uplifting speech was a genius move by the Filmmakers.
This was the first time I noticed a film pull something like that (decades before Game of Thrones became popular), and it's surprising how rarely you see it pulled off. Like, it definitely happens more in horror films, but I feel like they just did it so much better in this gimmick film than it had any right to.
@@M4TCH3SM4L0N3
Oh Definitely!
And NEXT ya’ll gotta react to the movies, “Lake Placid”, “CRAWL” (underrated), and “The FALL” (you easily figure everything out very early, but it’s still entertaining in a way).😄
Best line of the entire movie was " What does a genetically enhanced mako shark think about"? The answer is the movie title. It thinks about the "Deep Blue sea."
The Meg may have been the best shark movie since Jaws, but Deep Blue Sea is the coolest. LL Cool J is first class.
Lolz the Meg??? That was 🗑️😂😂😂 The Shallows was a million times better ❤️
The Meg had not a single moment in it that even made my kids jump or take it seriously 😂 they all laughed at it
Jaws, Deep Blue Sea, The Reef, and Open Water are awesome.
@@maralinekozial9131 That's likely because your kids are weird.
@@MermaidMusings7 don't forget the shallows. Now if we're talking about TV movies. I recommend red water with Lou diamond Phillip and Coolio and spring break shark attack
@@SuperiorPhantom-dx6vh I don't like The Shallows. I've seen Red Water, it's an ok movie.
I know there are many shark movies, mostly not that good. But "the Shallows" is another great and underrated one
Thanks so much for the recommendation, we are always game for fun shark movies!!
YES. The Shallows is the best shark movie since Jaws. Blake lively is as great as she is gorgeous. The bird gives a strong performance as well 😀😀😀
@@OfficialMediaKnights Hoping you guys react to the Shallows. Its a great movie! ^^
This IS one of the better shark movies out there. Honestly when I first saw this it was completely terrifying. I was sweating profusely from the intense action. =)
Hahah man we can imagine, this had us clenching our buttcheeks the entire time 😂
Give The Shallows with Blake Lively a shot. Its honestly better than this imho. Only bested by the original Jaws.
@@clevelandcbiJaws is pretty boring imo
Like, it’s an amazing movie, but even when I was little and saw it for the first the I wished the shark did more and didn’t find it scary
Then I found deep blue sea and worried one of those smart bastards would swim up my shower drain 😂😭
Idk there’s just so many good shark movies out there now, it’s weird how people won’t let Jaws go 🤷♀️ or at least bring it down a peg 😂 it is not all that
This movie has one of the greatest death scenes in cinema history.
Nice reaction guys....I saw this film for the first time when I was like 8 years old or something and it scared the hell out of me lol...I absolutely love LL Cool J and Thomas Janes' characters
It’s such a thrill! We’re so happy to bring this into the channel and have so many 90s kids share their story’s of when they watched this for the first time. They both were amazing!
Listening to the audio commentary on the dvd with Renny Harlin,the director and Samuel L Jackson,when Jackson's character gets killed,Samuel L Jackson says something to the effect of "Well I'm dead,so if they can kill me off then nobody's safe!",always remember that lol.😂
Fun fact about that big scene where the water crashes through the glass with that big practical effect- it was a mistake. They were supposed to swap in the stunt doubles but something went wrong and the water dumped too soon so it was the actual actors!
Whaaat, no way!!! Imagine being the actors, that must have been terrifying 😳😳😳
I never knew that!!! Great information
It brought the realness to it tho cant fake it in a sense
Last year I worked in the place this movie was shot! In Baja Studios, where the Titanic was also shot! In fact, those studios were created just to shoot Titanic! They built a giant pool and they literally built the Titanic in it!!!
29:47. I love the fact that he gets into an Industrial Strength Oven to protect himself in, though it’s only for a brief bit. What’s also noticeable is the fact that Sharks have some blind spots! Meaning that while they can see forwards, they can only see what their trying to attack for brief windows :)
So these scenes are handled really well.
I watched this movie as a kid, and it’s still the single reason I have a fear of the sea.
I was pretty glad that they killed the lead researcher in the end (huge thanks to the test audience feedback for getting us that ending). Although her intentions were good and she does have some character growth, it felt wrong for her to survive with a romantic interest when she had been acting selfishly for most of the film while the rest of the cast were dying. Her having the gall to use herself as bait (esp throwing her whole body into the water, away from the ladder) and to expect that she still had a chance of surviving honestly made her surprise death feel warranted. I was glad to see that the chef character survived, he really went through it
Yes, the doctor had good intentions, but as my Mother always said, "The road to Hell is paved with good intentions!"
"Some of the worst things imaginable have been made with the best intentions!"
Sam Neill, Jurassic Park 3.
I always refer to this movie as Jurassic Park with Sharks because they experimented with such a deadly creature that they put everyone nearby in deathly peril
And it's a Skeleton crew on a remote location, compromised by a storm and human error, all the sharks are female
One of my favorite movies of all time. I wish they had kept the original ending with Susan living and it would have been perfect honestly. Her character had a good arc in the film that sort of didn’t get to finish. They cut out some scenes that make her more likable as well, once they decided to change the end at the last minute. Still a great flick though. I’d love to see the original ending!
Indeed, she was the true hero of the film. Everything was worth it for that cure.
There's a movement growing to get the original ending released (via an online peti tion - check it out). Believe me when I tell you the entire third act is vastly superior and different to the theatrical cut.
My favourite shark film of all time, even though I don't watch Shark killing films now...
It was such a great time! Fun summer blockbuster 😄
(At 48:35) to be honest I don't feel bad Susan died. *ALL* of THIS was on her.
Also, I realize that… everyone who wore those diving suits… still died!
Guess that big shark was attracted to those suits Samuel L. Jackson suggested.
"DEEPEST, BLUEST....My hand is like a shark's fin!!!!"
- James Todd Smith AKA LL COOL J
Such poetry...such wow
when ari said back to basics at the end, were the sswimmer dude explains how to blow up the shark, my brain scrambled it into, he's giving her the michael baysics, which is a hillarious way to explain to someone that things are about to blow up
11:38 just to correct you guys
It’s actually the test sharks killed the tiger shark, so it wasn’t one of their own.
Ah thanks for that!! Appreciate the clarification!
It's confusing, because apparently the film crew built really accurate models of mako sharks - and then painted stripes on one to use as a tiger shark (despite mako and tigers looking very different in real life).
@@iapetusmccool yeah that’s one of the mistakes I’ve realized in the movie
My guess is that since they were building these animatronics for 8 months they were in the middle of work to create a tiger shark but instead of wasting another few months they decided to paint one the animatronics with stripes to look like a tiger shark.
Another difference we can tell are the CGI versions the Makos are a bit larger than the tiger shark
Glad to see LL Cool j I didn't die in this movie famous rapper from the 80s and 90s
(At 5:15) looking back, I just realized something… that's NOT a real tiger shark. Their snouts aren't triangular. And their teeth don't look like that.
Yeah, it’s like a genetically Hybridized Mako with some Tiger Shark in its DNA.
Such a fun watch, a perfect B-movie vibe but elevated by its self-awareness, cast and production value. The Sam Jackson twist was so well done - at the time (coming off 'Pulp Fiction', 'The Phantom Menace' etc.) he was _easily_ the biggest star in the movie so we all thought he was gonna be the main guy.
(and bonus points for featuring _surely_ film history's only instance of "Chekhov's shark dodge" :)
Hahaha a Chekhov’s shark dodge indeed! It really was a fun ride. Making the sharks smart only elevated the film. Plus the incredible practical effects and sets. Definitely made it into our list of favorites!
Wtf is chekov shark dodge
The Ending Song by LL cool J is always on my playlist
I remember watching this with my buddies & the main thought within us was "If anyone gets injured, they'll be fine, they're scientists."
So I like the fact that when they are getting the scientist to the helicopter, Susan says "I'm not this kind of doctor," because it shows that even with people like that, they're not safe.
I'm loving that y'all appreciate the movies I grew up with and enjoy them as much as me and my generation. Excellent reactions to this movie 👊👍💥🦈🤞
Highly recommend Deep Rising! It's from the maker of The Mummy and was supposed to be a prequel to a future King Kong movie. The movie went straight to vhs due to studio interference, but it's totally worth a watch for some horror fun.
I seriously wish someone would by the Rights to that film so we could Get that Monsterverse Crossover!
One of my faves ever! 💜 I feel like you two would love Pitch Black similar genre another favorite!
Ohhhhh my gosh, that is actually an awesome recommendation, thank you!!! We are definitely adding it to our list!
I recommend u good how high can shark jump out of the water, it was literally the first episode ever of Shark Week. A Great White Shark can jump 8-10 feet out of the water, the record even records is of 15 feet. Just imagine the speed n force of impact combined with there bite force with those sharp teeth. They literal cut there prey in half, even light bite made just to tests if things are food or not taken body parts n must of the time kill the victim by blood lost.
PS: Thresher Sharks, the ones with that long pointed tail can jump 20 feet, and the Shortfin Mako has recorded jumps of 30 feet off the water. Half fun at the Beach n boats on open Ocean.
So I don’t know if this is a fact or a joke, but people say that LL Cool J made history by playing the first black character to survive to the end of a horror/thriller film. 😂 Love this movie.
Ice cube was the first in anaconda lol
One of my favorites! Lampshades every trope about shark movies with a big old tip of the hat to other flicks. If you want another cool ocean-themed one, I recommend Underwater. Crazy twist ending for that one too.
Such a fun ride! We’re doing all the summer blockbusters so definitely appreciate the recommendation ❤️
23:49 Yeah. Crank phones were some of the first phones in the 1930’s. This type was around up until 1983. Although, the crank-type communication in some cases has made a decent back-up in case main communication lines are down
Thanks so much for taking the time to give us some of this info, we hella appreciate it!!
This is like the best shark movie ever made it has two marvel characters both Nick fury, and the punisher
If they didn't have the Samuel Jackson speech scene, do you think people would remember this movie as fondly? If there are respect points given out for having certain decisions in movies, for sure this one earned the movie enough on its own. Was also reminded how good practical effects can be and how much of an authenticity it gives to the audience's suspense.
Absolutely! We can imagine his death becoming iconic. It came out of nowhere and it’s definitely one of those movie moments you don’t forget! The practical effects in this and the sets were top notch!
Everytime Denise says "what do you mean" I think about the mem from Hotones where Jennifer Lawrence says "what do you mean" when Sean dabbs The Last Dab.
Omg finally someone caught the reference, thank you!! That moment was so hilariously iconic 😂😂😂
(At 46:10) That's the best thing about LL Cool J back then… He's too badass to die.
Imagine being from the generation who saw Jaws on the big screen, or at the drive in. Then Deep Blue Sea comes along and does it all over again. And since this was in the 90s. we still had Imax theaters. LOL. I love both films and your reactions to them. Good job.
Thank you so much for checking out both reactions! That means the world to us. These films have been fantastic. We’ve been honestly blown away by the technical aspect but also how much fun they’ve both been!
The actor who played CARTER, WAS the 1st PUNISHER. ALSO staring John Travolta.
Oh hell yes, we gotta check that one out too!
actually, he was the 2nd punisher the first punisher was Dolph Lundgren from the 1989 punisher film.
LL Cool j who played the chef he was big in the 80s and 90s also on the hit TV show NCIS Los Angeles on CBS season 14
Saw this movie in the Theater with my family! We all Loved it. It has characters with personality, LL Cool J and Samuel L Jackson were great Characters in this movie!
I would put this behind jaws as top tier shark films .... loved this film
Absolutely agreed, it had all the thrills, the carnage and suspense!!
Its literally a million miles behind Jaws. 😂
@@lyndoncmp5751 My O.P.I.N.I.O N
The licence plate is the same one used in jaws,when hooper cuts it out of the tiger shark.
Have to admit the audio work in this movie was impeccable. The dvd dolby digital track was amazing to experience on a good hometheatre setup. Cascading water asmr :)
I'm definitely a 90's girl too, and it's about time for me to find my favorite 90's horror comedy again, Idol Hands. At the risk of sounding old, they just don't make em like that anymore. I watch it to kick off every spooky season!
I watched this with my best friend. We had to keep pausing it to settle our nerves. afterwards we watched Alien 3 to relax. 😬
The guy who survived at the end with ll cool j played the punisher from the early 2000s...thomas jayne
Yeeeesss, the OG Punisher!! We've been meaning to check that one out!!
@@OfficialMediaKnights Good film
The part where that guy pulls the license plate out of the sharks mouth....was the same license plate that they used in Jaws when they pulled the license plate out of the sharks tummy. The exact same license plate. 🦈
Yeah! That’s pretty freakin’ awesome! I actually double checked the license plate while editing and yup! Same exact number 007 0 981
One of my fave shark movies 😂 it’s just fun lol. Also u guys are killing the reactions just now 😊 🏴
This one makes our favorites list as well! Thank you for watching this with us! It means the world ❤️
49:32 that laugh was so infectious, oh my god.
Such good vibes with y’all, man.
As a chef I personally love LL Cool J's character especially the parrot 🦜.
24 years after jaws, 25 years after deep blue sea, we are due for a new epic practical effect shark movie, we have driverless vehicles.... we have the tech to make an amazing practical effect shark
This is my favorite shark movie. It had a combo of horror, intensity and some comedy humor in it. No one expected Jackson to die. It`s LL Cool J`s second best acting role. His best role was the movie called In Too Deep, which had some brutal moments.
Jaws, Deep Blue Sea, and The Reef are the best shark movies IMO.
@09:32 - not a floppy disk! They were called Zip Drives, and could hold an unbelievable 100 megabytes of data, as compared to the 1.4 megs a floppy disk could hold, where meg does not refer to a shark ancient or otherwise.
Movie note: Samuel Jackson agreed to do this movie only if his character got killed by the shark.
I was about to comment that them calling a Zip Drive a floppy made me feel really old, since I had already owned my own PC for well over a decade before they even first appeared.
One of my favorite sharks movies. Loved watching with you guys ❤
Thank you for rewatching this with us! It definitely became one of our favorites!
Renny Harlin is such a amazing director. You should watch Cliffhanger with Stallone, also from Harlin. Nice Video 😁.
This is honestly one of my favorite shark movies
I don't think it tops jaws tho
This is a lesson for all of us. Mankind should never temper with nature because monsters are always born.... These sharks and Godzilla for examples.
I was 14, 15 years old when this came out, watched it at the movies probably three time, and i still love it. It scared the crap out of my younger brother though, who refused to take a bath in the tub for like a year after watching it. lol
Sharks actually breach alot when hunting as they usually attack from the bottom to the top, that allows the shark to track its prey better against the surface light while keeping it camouflaged as the top half of their body is darker rendering it invisible for the prey. Not all species of sharks do this, the same way not all sharks are dangerous. 😀
9:45, not a floppy drive....a Zip Drive...those babies could hold like 100 MB. You would never run out of space with those. LOL
Ahhh the days were we calculated storage in MB instead of GB
Deep Rising, Mimic, The Relic, Anaconda, Lake Placid, Tremors, all are other great fun 90s creature feature flicks you guys should check out
Just FYI, that "resident badass" who swims with sharks IS Thomas Jane, and (IMO) His Most-Badass Movie Ever was "The Punisher" ('04). Y'all might wanna check it out...😉👌 Samuel L. Jackson and LL Cool J ( the Chef) worked together again in another Intense Action Thriller called "S.W.A.T." ('03)!!
He was The Punisher!? Oh we gotta watch that!
@@OfficialMediaKnights Indeed He was...👍
I love this movie so much, the best part is the two unexpected deaths that no one saw coming… that’s what makes it so memorable
The license plate that came out of the shark’s mouth was the same state and number as the one in Jaws
This is actually my favourite shark movie! I'm a big fan of monster/horror movies from 90s-early 00s. So happy to see your insight on this movie, it makes me appreciate and love it more❤
I like the fact Samuel L. Jackson wanted to get eaten by a shark lol he wanted to get killed because that wouldn't be expected. I think makers didn't agree on it first...glad they did! I'd always get scared on that scene even i had this movie on DVD and knew it🙈. Liked hpw they were not typically Great White but Mako Sharks.
And i always wondered how did they do the CGI on that 🦈 that Carter brought up? Later read it was a robotic shark 🦈(like JAWS). don't mind me i was born the same year this movie was released 😅
Great reaction video! Love Deep Blue Sea. It's my 2nd favorite shark movie (Jaws is the obvious #1). Keep up the great videos.
I first saw this movie when I was around 12 or 13.... Every time i watch it, it gives me messed up dreams, not nightmares, legit a weird recurring dream every time i watch it, which is sharks swimming in a beer cooler, no idea why, but that is how it has always been :| haven't seen it in years, maybe i should test to see if i still get that dream.
Sharks in a beer cooler!? Sounds like the sharks are threatening to destroy the very thing we love…beer Let us know if you happen to get another weird dream 😂
I know that this is a 6mo old post but the fact that Denise predicted so many moments right before they happened was pure gold.
I loved this! Such a great reaction clip. You had so good audio both from the movie and also yourself. And you really seemed to enjoy the movie. Also you had me at start saying you liked Jaws ;) hehe
one of the few good movies about sharks made in recent decades. and as for the bad ones, we saw sharks not only on land, or in a tornado, but even on the moon!!
