Aquaman: 22 Easter Eggs & References Explained

2. Jaws

Jaws Bigger Boat
Universal

After Black Manta is gifted some Atlantean technology by Orm, a ludicrous montage sequence follows where he builds his suit, incredulously set to Depeche Mode's ill-fitting "It's No Good."

The scene ends with him accidentally over-powering the suit's helmet, firing a stream of plasma which only barely misses him. Afterwards, a relieved David quips, "I think I'm gonna need a bigger helmet."

It's impossible to see this as anything more than a playful nod to the iconic "You're gonna need a bigger boat" line from Jaws, which is obviously the water-based action movie of all time.
