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:

Continuity: On several occasions, there is a long shot showing a boat moving through the water, immediately followed by a closer shot of the boat in which it is obvious that the boat is not moving.

Quotes:

Chuck Rampart: I know where we can get explosives; no questions asked.

Megalodon? More like MEGA AWESOME!!!!

If you ever had doubts of a cinematic higher power this is your proof. For surely such a perfect movie could not exist with the limited abilities of mere mortals.

I applaud you Shark Attack 3: Megalodon. Bravo. Had I been in charge I probably would have called it quits thinking I could never top the super smash hit Shark Attack 2, but you prove me to be a fool.

Number one: The Chemistry between Barrowman and McShane...WOW!!! Like a modern day Romeo and Juliet these two decide to take on a shark that ranges from 10 feet or so to a whopping 900 feet. Roy Scheider should be ashamed of himself. Jaws was an okay movie, but he is certainly no Barrowman, far from it. With love on the line, I don't think I could be the man Barrowman is. He truly is a hero among heroes.

And let us not forget Viktor Chichov's unforgetable performance as "Male Tourist". Viktor hammers home the point that there are no small parts.

With mind boggling effects that will blow you away, Shark Attack 3 is without a doubt the greatest Shark movie ever.

Tracy and Hepburn got nothing on Barrowman and McShane. I can only pray there is a Shark Attack 4.
