Deep Blue Sea : Possible homage to all 3 Jaws Movies *spoilers*

Possible homage to all 3 Jaws Movies *spoilers*

I say 3 because the last one was so *beep* doesn't even deserve to be in the series.

Anyway, if you look how the first shark died, igniting the gas to explode it.
In Jaws 1, well, though an Air tank (and proved by Mythbusters that shooting an air tank doesn't explode it), still "igniting" the air by shooting it to explode it.

2nd Shark, Electrocution.
Jaws 2, Same...with the cable.

3rd Shark, filling bolt with gunpowder and sparking it up to explode it.
Jaws III, exploding by a Grenade (thus in a grenade is gunpowder and pulling the pin will spark it up causing it to explode)

Similarities so possible homage :)

Actually - I think this is in the trivia for this movie. There was a little salute to the first three Jaws movies. Look under Trivia under spoilers....

Hi, I'm Chandler... could I BE wearing any more clothes???

And the scene when the dr. undresses to just her undies with the shark lurking around?, it felt to me as homage to the S. Weaver's Alien scene in her panties calling later for "jonesie?" the lucky cat.

i also remember a helicopter meeting a bad end in Jaws 4 ;)

Re: Possible homage to all 3 Jaws Movies *spoilers*

This was actually originally going to be Jaws 5, but after the failure of the 4th one (hell, even the 3rd), they improvised and redid a few things, and we got Deep Blue Sea.

Re: Possible homage to all 3 Jaws Movies *spoilers*

Where's your source for that? Since Jaws is a Universal property and this was at Warner Bros, I doubt the latter would have had access to any secret Jaws 5 scripts.

I always assumed this was greenlit as a result of Jurassic Park. Comebine Spielberg's two famous monster movies and what do you get? The pitch for Deep Blue Sea.

It was Jaws 2 that had the helicopter. Jaws 4 had nothing memorable :-P
