Continuity: As soon as the three survivors are coming out of the lab through the hatch underwater, they all signal each other to rise to the top. Look at Safron Burrows, her cheeks are full of air and you can almost see the surface above her head. You can also see the exact same shot when she is about to be eaten by the last shark. And what's with that hand gesture - to cut or for the shark to stop?

Revealing: At the end of the film, when Preacher is fighting the shark, we can see that it is a white stuntman doing the scene for LL Cool J.

Revealing: When the sharks first attack and bite off the man's arm - you can clearly see his arm under his shirt as he's scrambling away from the water.

⇓

Continuity: In the scene where L.L. Cool J. is in the flooded kitchen and the shark comes in through the door, he climbs up a shelf then falls in the water then climbs out again. Before he makes his way to the oven you can clearly see that under his pants he is wearing knee pads.

Revealing: Near the beginning when the boat pulls up and the guy on the boat tells the blond-convict fella he's got a beauty 13 foot "Tiger shark" that's up in some sort of sling, the so called tiger shark is actually an animatronic great white with stripes on it. Tiger sharks have a blunt rounded nose, not a pointed one like a great white.

Continuity: Towards the end of the movie, the character played by L. L. Cool J stabs the shark through his left eye with his cross, yet in the next scene where the shark returns to eat the female doctor his eye is clearly intact.

Factual error: A double oven has a double or triple insulating wall between ovens, not a single sheet of flimsy steel.

Revealing: In the shot when the helicopter is about to crash into the building, take a look at the blade. There is a wire holding the helicopter.

⇓

Revealing: When Samuel L. Jackson is attacked and killed by the shark, you can clearly tell that he is CGI. His arms and legs are segments and it looks really corny.

Edit Time

⇓

Continuity: Near the end scene, when the three characters came to the surface, L.L. Cool J. was taken by the shark. When he was taken underwater and when he surfaced, the shark had him in her mouth on the right side. When they went under again and resurfaced, L.L.Cool J. was on the left of the shark's mouth. What? Did the shark not like him on the right side so she switched him underwater?

Factual error: Since the water was always waist high, how could the huge sharks swim inside? Not to mention the corridors...

Edit Time

⇓

Continuity: When the shark first smashes the glass with the gurney carrying the man who was first bitten who failed to escape on the helicopter, he releases the gurney about 50 feet away from the glass. How could the gurney maintain its speed underwater?

Edit Time

⇓

Factual error: Sharks can swim quite fast (some up to 65kmph). How does Preach, wading at a relatively slow speed, escape the shark the first time he sees it?

Edit Time

⇓

Continuity: When the shark is brought up to put the needle in his head he bites off the guys arm leaving only a bit left there, yet when they are wheeling him to the helicopter you see that he's got more arm than before.

⇓

Continuity: When LL Cool J is standing on the shelf and reaching for his bird on the pot, it is clear that he could easily reach the pot if he clenched his fingers. Yet, in the next clip, the pot is shown from a different angle and is at least 1 or 2 feet away.

Other: The explosion at the end of the movie would have killed Carter, he simply would not have survived the concussion wave.

Continuity: When McAlister cuts herself and jumps into the water, you see blood in the first shot. Then when she is swimming and wading etc., there is completely no sign of blood at all.

Continuity: Carter pries open a door with a knife that is on as sheath on his leg. The knife breaks and he throws it away. In the final scene, when Carter and Preacher are laying on the wreckage, the knife is clearly visibly back in the sheath on Carter's right leg.

Plot hole: Considering the size and power of the sharks, why didn't the female just jump the fence at the end of the film. It was only 3 or 4 feet above the water at that point.

Continuity: When Preacher is talking to the Lord about his wrath, he is in a wide area of the corridor with "Sub Level 1-A" written on the wall behind him. In the next shot he is approaching the wide area with the sign again.
