6. Sharks Bear Nasty Grudges Deep Blue Sea (1999)
Now, youre probably thinking that were going to pick the death scene that everyone remembers from this shark slasher pic from hell (seriously this is not a shark movie. This is a serial killer movie set partially underwater). But no, this is not the scene youre thinking of, where Sam Jackson has his I AM SAM JACKSON GODDAMNIT pep talk rudely interrupted by a giant seagoing killing machine. No, that was priceless but this is more ridiculous. Gen-2, the shark with the biggest personality disorder, takes offence at part of her brain being used in an exposition scene involving really Bad Science, and manages to twist around in a manner that sharks shouldnt and bite a-hole researcher Jims arm off. Mayhem then comes to pass, during which Gen-2 escapes and Jim is fitted with an oxygen mask and strapped to a stretcher to be helicoptered to the nearest hospital. That absolutely does not happen, as a convenient storm overhead causes the winch to drop Jims stretcher back into the water. Gen-2 isnt finished with poor Jim, and goes for the stretcher, dragging it along underwater and towing the helicopter along with it, since apparently genetically modified sharks can totally do that. The helicopter crashes into the fuel storage for the laboratory, both of which explode more than anything has ever exploded before, and Jims stretcher, with a still-very-much-alive Jim still strapped to it, is then dragged underwater once more by Gen-2, who proceeds to flaunt the capture of her tormentor in front of the plexiglass viewing window and then use him as a battering ram to crack, and then shatter the glass, allowing the sharks access to the flooded laboratory. So, Jim is maimed, used as a fishing line to drag to hell the only means of escape and blow up half the base, and then broken to pieces against reinforced glass. Still not convinced? Fine, heres Sam Jackson being disrespected by a shark. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yMwmqp3GLMc
