Tropes used in Shark Attack 3: Megalodon include:
- Corrupt Corporate Executive - Tolley, the real villain in the piece. He knew about the sharks and did nothing!
- Fan Service - Bikini shots, cleavage shots, nude skinny dipping, lustful references to Jennifer McShane's bum, a hot Shower Scene and John Barrowman. Just...John Barrowman.
- Karmic Death - the above mentioned Mr. Tolley. And an executive steals his girlfriend's life vest and dives overboard straight into the mouth of the shark.
- Logo Joke: The logo of Apex Communications features a bright red arrow plunging downwards, lampshading its impending financial prospects. Though one doubts even bad investors expect to be eaten.
- Megalodon
- Monster Is a Mommy - Or in this case, Monster Has A Mommy. One big mother of a mommy!
- Noisy Nature - Sharks do not roar. Especially underwater.
- No Time to Explain
- So Long, Suckers!: The Corrupt Corporate Executive abandons his sinking yacht on a jet-ski while giving an Evil Laugh only to drive right down the throat of the giant shark.
- Somewhere a Paleontologist Is Crying - Megalodon were thought to be shallow water predators. So surviving millions of years in a deep sea vent? Not very likely. Surviving millions of years without anyone noticing? Also not likely. At least the latter point gets a lampshade on it.
- Subverted by the fact that this is one of the most predominant theories espoused by proponents of the Megalodon's survival. The latter is somewhat justified considering how little of the ocean we've actually explored. Having said that, it's still unlikely.
- Steel Ear Drums - Carpenter suffers no apparent ill-effects from an underwater torpedo explosion.
- Too Dumb to Live - In the climactic yacht attack scene, the passengers, upon realizing their predicament, proceed to fetch life preservers and begin jumping INTO THE WATER with the shark.
- Throw It In
- Barrowman's ad-libbed line (referred to by many "fans" simply as "The Line"), which remained in the movie despite initially only being a joke, he said, hoping to "loosen up" his female co-"star", Jenny McShane, on the request of one of the production staff. The line is a bit lewd, and Barrowman was surprised they decided to leave it when he went back for ADR. Here it is, in its "not safe for work" glory.
- The safe for work Edited for Syndication version (what Barrowman recorded in ADR) is "Whats say I take you home and watch I Love Lucy?"
