Line 18:
* [[All There Is to Know About "The Crying Game"]]: {{spoiler|Franklin's}} [[Sedgwick Speech]] is far more famous than any other scene in the movie.
{{quote| "[[Chappelles Show|They ate me! A fuckin' shark ate me!"]]"}}
* [[As the Good Book Says...]]: That's why they call him "Preacher".
* [[As You Know]]: It had to be brought up so that scientists could claim they hadn't. Even more awkward because it's Samuel L. Jackson talking Science.
{{quote| '''Russel Franklin''': I'm just amazed we've come so far so fast without genetic tampering.<br />
Line 67:
* {{spoiler|[[Sacrificial Lion]]: Russell Franklin, played by Samuel L. Jackson.}}
* [[Scale of Scientific Sins]]: Giving sharks, already apex predators, ''an intelligence boost?!'' Yeah, people are gonna die.
* [[Screw Learning, I Have Phlebotinum]]
* [[Shock and Awe]]: Another way to kill a shark.
* [[Short -Lived Aerial Escape]]: The [[Trope Namer]] is the director, after all.
* [[Stock Dinosaurs|Stock Sharks]]: Well, there are no dinosaurs here, but almost all shark attack films have the stock shark: the Great White. This one subverts it by making them mako sharks.
** Could be [[Shown Their Work]] too, as real makos are among the smarter and more agile of shark species. A great white wouldn't have done so well at navigating the flooded corridors.
Line 76:
* [[Supporting Protagonist]]: Let's face it. Preacher single-handedly kills one shark, miraculously saves everyone when one of their escape attempts fails, and in the end {{spoiler|saves the day by killing the last shark ''and'' giving Carter time to escape. Although escape would've been easier had Preacher not shot him in the leg with the harpoon gun while shooting the shark.}} He's also the only person in the entire movie who survives a direct attack by one of the sharks (the biggest one no less), even partially blinding it in the process.
** Carter also fits, as Susan is supposedly the focus of the movie (she's even in the poster).
* [[Super -Persistent Predator]]: The sharks; Tom Jane even points out that sharks don't particularly like the taste of people. Justified because {{spoiler|eating the people isn't the goal, getting them to open doors and flood the facility is. Although wiping them out is a beneficial bonus since no one else would know about the super intelligent sharks...}}
* [[Survival Mantra]]: Starts Biblical ("Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I shall fear no evil. For thou art with me. Thy rod and thy staff, they comfort me. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life.") then the blackness kicks in ("Because I carry a big stick and I'm the meanest mother fucker in the valley! Two sharks down, Lord! One demon fish to go! [[Crowning Moment of Awesome|Can I get an Amen?]]").
* [[Take My Hand]]: {{spoiler|When traveling up the service shaft, this happens with Carter trying to grab Janice out of the water when she falls in. The shark kills her.}}
