Deep Blue Sea (1999)

Corrected entry: In the beginning when the blonde-haired ex convict was in the tunnel surveying the sharks, the sharks co-ordinated an attack in which they both hit the tunnel in the same second. How could they have done this? Becoming smarter does not give them the ability to communicate.

Correction: No, but being smarter might allow one to observe the other's preparation to attack, predict the attack, and work in tandem in order to secure a piece of the kill. Intelligence advanced enough would allow them to follow a predictive logical process and act on their conclusions.

Deep Blue Sea (1999)

Corrected entry: The sharks cut the electricity for the lights when they were trying to catch Carter. However, when the helicopter comes Brenda is using a spotlight.

Correction: They probably could only attack the circuit to the underwater lights; in the surface shots when Whitlock is being loaded into the helicopter, lights are visible around the perimeter.

Deep Blue Sea (1999)

Corrected entry: Just before the two sharks simultaneously attack Carter while he is diving through the underwater cage-like corridor with his harpoon we see the rest of the crew monitoring this with the help of tree monitors displaying the pictures of the underwater cameras in the cages (later destroyed by the sharks). The view on the left screen is taken from a camera that keeps moving backwards while Carter swimming towards it. This displayed shot can't be taken by one of the fixed observation cameras.

Correction: The camera isn't moving backwards, the tech is switching the feed from one camera to another farther down.

Deep Blue Sea (1999)

Corrected entry: In the scene where the cook is trapped by the shark, the water in the kitchen is about waist-high. When Preacher jumps out of the oven, the shark turns to get him and you see that the shark is completely underwater. Those sharks are supposed to be really big, so you should at least see the fin when it's underwater.

Correction: The water surface and the fin are offscreen in that shot, so it's impossible to say that the fin is not showing. Furthermore, in almost every other shot, the fin is shown above water.
