Line 12:
* [[Designated Hero]]/ [[Designated Villain]]: A review of this movie on Jabootu.net named the tropes.
* [[Deus Ex Machina]]: The squid sinks Whip's boat, kills Osborn Manning, and nearly gets Talley, Marcus, and Whip when a sperm whale erupts out of the water and tears it in half.
* [[The End
* [[Even Evil Has Standards]]: Osborn Manning certainly does.
* [[Everything's Squishier With Cephalopods]]: Indeed.
* [[Extreme Omnivore]]: The squid is too dumb to tell the difference between living animals and inorganic matter, leading to attacks on boats and submarines.
* [[
* [[I Gave My Word]]: Both Whip and Manning operate on this principle.
* [[I Let Gwen Stacy Die]]: Marcus' girlfriend was killed by a box jellyfish. He's pretty much defined by it. And then, just as it seems he might be moving on with photographer Stephanie, she's killed by the squid.
Line 29:
* [[Science Is Bad]]: Whip chastises himself for putting faith in science, saying "The only thing scientists admit is what they know. What they don't know - what might be, all the stuff in the in the realm of the possible but unproven - they dismiss as myth." Something of a Wallbanger.
* [[Screw the Rules, I Have Money]]: Osborn Manning again.
* [[Sharp
* [[Smug Snake]]: Liam St. John; Osborn Manning might count too.
* [[Super
* [[Too Dumb to Live]]: Dr. Liam St. John, who first tries to kill the squid with dynamite, then rents a submarine...and promptly wastes one of his weapons on killing a shark instead of on the squid, leading to his death and that of his entire crew.
* [[Tragic Monster]]: The squid may be big, violent, and destructive, but Benchley makes a point of showing that it's only an animal in an unfamiliar environment, doing what it has to in order to eat.
