Deep Blue Sea

Continuity mistake: When Preacher says "Leave that to the white folks, brother," to Franklin, you can see that Preacher looks rather serious. When it cuts, Preacher is instantly smiling. (00:19:20)

Continuity mistake: When Carter is swimming down to the hatch, just after the technician has been eaten, you can see that when there's a shot showing what he can see, there's a straight beam of light presumably from his torch as that's the only source it could come from. However, when the camera moves back to see Carter swimming through the water, you can see that the torch he is carrying is moving around violently as he is trying to swim to the hatch. There's no way Carter could have held that torch straight enough for it to produce such a straight beam of light, especially since he's busy trying to escape being eaten by a freakishly smart shark. (01:17:35)

Continuity mistake: Throughout the film, people's clothes get drier/wetter instantly. Most noticeable after Whitlock is attacked and rescued by the helicopter - everyone gets soaked but inside are dry. (00:42:20)

Ssiscool

Continuity mistake: At the start of the film when the man is trying to remove the licence plate from the sharks mouth you see a shot of him holding on to the fin on the huge shark from above the water. you can see the man is a good bit away from the mouth of the shark yet when we see the underwater shot he is just finger tips from the license plate. (00:09:20)

Continuity mistake: Look carefully at the licence plate when Blake removes it from the shark's mouth. It bends and flexes as though it's made out of rubber or even cardboard. Of course in the next scene when he throws it on the walkway, it's an ordinary licence plate. (00:09:30)

Continuity mistake: When Preacher is cutting through the oven, between the shots from where he is, and the view from the section of oven above him, the damage is entirely different. (00:53:50)

Ssiscool

Continuity mistake: In the part where they are climbing up the ladder and there's fire on the roof, just after the shark attack Preacher comes and pulls them up with knotted clothes, then he pulls it in with them through the door. When they go back the knotted clothes are there again.

Continuity mistake: Carter puts a bandage on his right arm because of the blood. When he tries to shot the shark the bandage gets larger.

ozwal13

Continuity mistake: When the shark is attacking the oven which the preacher is in, the shark severely damages the oven's glass door. Later, when it cuts to a shot from outside while the shark is bashing against the door, only a few cracks are visible in the glass. (00:53:40)

Mortug

Factual error: Near the beginning when the boat pulls up and the guy on the boat tells the blond convict he's got a beauty 13 foot "Tiger shark" that's up in some sort of sling, the so called tiger shark is actually the same robot mako shark from the rest of the movie, just with stripes on it. Tiger sharks have a blunt rounded nose, not a pointed one like a great white. (00:07:35)

Russell Franklin: Just what the hell did you do to those sharks?
Dr. Susan McCallister: Their brains weren't large enough to harvest sufficient amounts of the protein complex. So we violated the Harvard Compact. Jim and I used gene therapies to increase their brain mass, a larger brain means more protein. As a side effect the sharks got smarter.
Janice Higgins: You stupid bitch!

Trivia: All three sharks are killed in almost the same way the first three sharks is killed in the 'Jaws' movies. Blown up with gas, electrocuted and the last one is blown up.

Question: Was there supposed to be some more of the scene between Carter and Susan after she had killed the third shark?

Answer: I assume you are referring to the scene after Susan killed the second shark (she was killed before the third shark was killed). The comments LL makes to finish that scene do seem a little out of place with what they were talking about but the film does have a number of scenes cut out. Most of the deleted scenes on the DVD deal with character development and dialogue but there is no evidence the scene was cut as the DVD's deleted scenes dont have any extra footage on that scene or alternate dialogue.

Lummie

Answer: Yes, Susan and Carter actually share a kiss in the original ending. They grew smitten with one another in unreleased deleted scenes leading up to it. The kiss is interrupted by Sherman "Preacher" Dudley clearing his throat, who's still recovering from his wounds. This, of course, was part of the unreleased original ending that was changed at the last minute due to test audiences wanting Susan to die. The footage was never released but there are stills from said kiss and this was how it was scripted to end. Fans started a petition on the Change site asking Warner to release the original ending and even Thomas Jane is promoting it on his Instagram account. But as of now, the ending has yet to be released.
