!Tropes for the film:
* GasCylinderRocket: The heroes launch a couple of gas cylinders into the shark-built corpse dam by chopping off their nozzles with axes. The cylinders blast off and streak through the air to lodge themselves in the dam, yet [[ArtisticLicensePhysics somehow still have enough pressure left to explode]] and destroy it.
* MonstrousCannibalism: After the first dam explodes, an underwater shot shows several of the bull sharks reacting to blood in the water. One bumps sideways into a smaller shark, grabs it, shakes it until it goes limp, and swims off chewing on the carcass.
* {{Tagline}}: "These maneaters really give a dam!".
* ThreateningShark: A ferocious coastal storm sweeps several dozen bull sharks far upstream into a wildlife park, where for some reason they start emulating beavers by both hunting as a pack and building dams made up of equal parts floating logs and body parts from their kills as a combination of water trap and food locker. The fact that this kind of behavior has '''no''' precedent in reality is actually lampshades, but the film never explains it.
