Trivia: Stay after the credits. There's an additional scene where John goes to visit Chas' grave and leaves a lighter, then as he's walking away you see Chas with wings and he flies up into the sky. (01:54:40)
Trivia: Right at the end, in fact the very last frame, you can see a face in the snow as the shot fades out.
Trivia: One should really stay to the very end of the credits, as Johnny Depp (Mort) sings an amusing little tune.
Trivia: The real name of Chucky is Charles Lee Ray, which is derived from three well known real life killers - Charles Manson, Lee Harvey Oswald and James Earl Ray.
Trivia: Steven Spielberg "interviewed" over 100 trucks before finding the forboding, evil looking one for the movie.
Trivia: In the scene near the end of the movie, there is a board meeting on the tarmac. The Chairman of the Board is Stephen King who is the author of The Langoliers. (02:10:15)
Trivia: There are two different endings to this movie. In the first one (released on video and DVD in the US), the shark (inexplicably) explodes after being rammed by the boat and sinks to the bottom in a reuse of footage from "Jaws." When the camera cuts back to the survivors floating in the water, we see that Mario Van Peebles, though badly wounded, is alive after all. In the second ending (which can be seen on American Movie Classics in the US), Mario Van Peebles does not survive his fall off of the boat; when he falls, he lands in the shark's mouth and is killed. Also, when the boat rams into the shark, it does not explode but is more "realistically" impaled, blood pouring from its mouth as it dies. After the survivors are knocked off the boat, there is a shot of ship and shark sinking to the bottom, prow of the ship stuck in the side of the shark.
Trivia: The scene where Barbara crashes the car into the tree wasn't scripted originally; an accident that put a large dent in the car before the scene was shot prompted George Romero to re-write the scene in such a way that the dent is justified.
Trivia: In the original ending, Henry Frankenstein dies or is killed before the monster throws him off the windmill.
Trivia: Denise Richards as a kid tells the boy that she'd rather be boiled alive than dance with him. She dies precisely that way later in the movie.
Trivia: The vampire's last name was Sackville-Bagg - Bilbo Baggins' relations in The Lord of the Rings were the Sackville-Bagginses.
Trivia: No digital- or special effects were used in the film. The actors were in the water with real live sharks.
Suggested correction: You can see the edges of the pool the actors are in when there are "ships" on the horizon.
Not true. The film was shot on location, for three weeks, off the coast of The Bahamas. https://www.nationalgeographic.com/animals/2004/08/open-water-sharks-fear-real/#close.
