Stupidity: Nobody in their right minds would take a nine-year-old child on a dangerous mission to locate and destroy a marauding, giant shark, a project that has already cost a number of lives.
The Meg (2018)
1 stupidity
Directed by: Jon Turteltaub
Starring: Jason Statham, Rainn Wilson, Robert Taylor, Ruby Rose
Factual error: Our heroes find a boat belonging to shark poachers, smashed to pieces by the Meg. Floating about in the debris are the bodies of a number of dead sharks. Sharks do not have swim bladders and dead sharks do not float - they sink.
Jonas Taylor: You're going to tell me your story and I'm going to say no. You're going to offer me money and I'm going to say no. You're going to try to appeal to my better nature and I'm still going to say no because I don't have one.
Trivia: When Jonas is swimming out to the meg to shoot it with the tracker he is singing to himself "Just keep swimming, just keep swimming..." This is the same song that Dory sings to Marlin in Finding Nemo.
