• (at around 9 mins) The license plate pulled from the shark's teeth is the same one found in the tiger shark in Jaws (1975).
• This was the first movie Stephen King saw after his nearly fatal encounter with a van. He stated "My first trip after being smacked by a van and almost killed was to the movies. I went in my wheelchair and loved every minute of it."
• (at around 50 mins) The Gen 2 Mako is described as 45 feet long and 8,000 pounds. That would make it more than three times the length, and four times heavier than the largest Mako shark ever recorded, and twice the size of the largest known Great White Shark.
