10 Silver Linings To Godawful Films

5. Samuel L. Jackson's Hilarious Death - Deep Blue Sea

Deep Blue Sea is an undeniable cheese-fest, a cornball action film that's kinda fun to watch with a few (read: a lot of) beers, but is ultimately as dumb as a box of rocks, and highly derivative of the numerous shark-infested movies that have come before it. It's frequently singled out, however, for one brilliant, outrageous and hilarious moment that occurs unexpectedly as Russell Franklin (Samuel L. Jackson) delivers an epic rallying speech. In that typical Sam Jackson way, he says, "So we're not going to fight anymore! We're going to pull together and we're going to find a way to get outta here! First, we're going to seal off this...", and at that moment, a genetically engineered shark dives out of a pool and grabs Russell, pulling him back into the water and munching on him. The shocking, out-of-nowhere nature of the kill does imbue the film with a certain "anything goes" quality, though it basically goes back to being terrible straight away, with even the reactions of the other actors in the scene ranging from awful to just unbelievably non-existent. The effects may suck and it doesn't make a lot of sense, but it's pretty much the only cool thing this otherwise sucky movie is remembered for.
