They are now a genre in their own right.
He probably spat them out.).
Ive tried to avoid giving away too many surprises, but it may still be vaguely spoilerish.

25.Jurassic Shark(2012)
Jurassic Sharkhas the same plot line as 2002sMegalodon.
And Eli Roths rumored future projectMeg.
And every other creature awakened from a millions-of-years-long hibernation flick.
Finally they decide the monster must be killed, in case it somehow reaches a crowded beach.
Even though its currently trapped in a deserted LAKE.
However, everyone agrees its cool if the animals kill each other.
MegaSharkwas followed by three sequels:Vs Crocosaurusin 2010;Vs Mecha Sharkin 2014 andVs Kolossus, in 2015.
So the killer shark is called Paul, which I think is a movie first.
Not to mention the predator-style (and very growly) landlubbing sharkman.
It was successful enough to result in two sequels, the last being the most sublime.
(Because… large sharks are mythical creatures?)
Best death scene:Never say I wish I was dead within earshot of a shark.
20.Ghost Shark(2013)
Youve got to hand it to the writers ofGhost Shark.
Best death scene:So many to choose from!
For performance alone my pick is the guy who finds an unfortunate surprise in his drink.
His writhing and gurning as the shark kills him from the inside is a sight to behold.
At worst, its a disappointing payoff from a promising idea.
Well, would you put your hand in its mouth?
Luckily the characters are so irksome, you cant wait for them to get chomped up.
Best death scene:The one involving a flying shark and a surprise decapitation.
Its a simple rule, but one thats forgotten by an astonishingly high number of characters here.
But who could say no to that face?
Scientists have created sharks who can be remotely controlled by microchips in their heads and used as military protection.
Actually, dont; its unwatchable).
Apologies, as always, for splitting an article over more than one page.
(Never a good sign when a movie has multiple names, is it?)
Its an AWESOMELY cheesy and terrible film with the best 1980s music ever; watch it now.
Best death scene:Oh no!
This gives you an idea of the amount of care and thought put into the writing.
But I did learn some salient life lessons.
Two: Sharks explode if you shoot them.
Three: Michael Caine can keep his clothes dry even when hes climbing out of water into a boat.
Some of the actors, for reasons known only to themselves, are pretending to be American.
The rest stick with their Australian accents, resulting in a confusing mishmash of nationalities.
Best death scene:When the triumphant cries of I can make it, I can make it!
are interrupted by a leaping shark.
First, she is trapped within the confines of a water park.
Jaws breaks into Seaworld in a desperate rescue attempt; tragically, her baby is already dead.
For instance, the now infamous scene when she breaks through glass is seen from the side.
Best death scene:The view from inside the sharks mouth as she devours her prey.
Best death scene:Well, I feel guilty about this now.
But its the one with the jet-ski and an airborne shark.
No rocks, no seaweed, no squid.
Ex-Beverly Hills 90210star Ian Ziering stars as Fin (subtle, no?)
Its a cheerfully ridiculous romp which requires zero brain power and has countless flying maneaters.
Watching them make a bad situation into a disaster is almost unbearably frustrating.
Definitely not one to watch before your backpacking trip to Oz.
There is also some unintentional comedy when Jaws sets fire to a boat.
Having said that, the last few minutes are incredibly tense.
Whats not to like?
and a theme of the hubris of man preceding his downfall.
When someone says What in Gods creation…?
dont say smugly Not His.
It just wont end well.
Best death scene:The infamously surprising one.
If youve seen it you know the bit I mean; if you havent, watch it now.
Did she really break her ribs as she was whipped back and forth via a harness?
Although careful listening reveals that she did say It hurts!
she has since denied that she was genuinely injured.
Whod be in showbusiness, eh?
