Trivia / Shark Night

• The Danza: Sara Paxton as Sara Palski.
• Dueling Movies: With Bait 3D, an Australian horror movie released later in the year.
• Follow the Leader: Following the path of Piranha 3D and possibly hoping to get that film's critical acclaim in the process. It didn't work.
• Science Marches On: The first documented attack by a cookie-cutter shark on a person came to light a year after this movie's release, although the actual attack took place a year before.
• Similarly Named Works: In one of the most egregious cases, the Russian title for the film is Jaws 3D, which has zero relation to the Stephen Spielberg's eponymous franchise aside from featuring killer sharks.
• Not Screened for Critics
• What Could Have Been: In a similar manner to Snakes on a Plane, director David R. Ellis wanted to title the film Untitled 3D Shark Thriller.
