YMMV / Red Water

• Alas, Poor Scrappy: Gene spends most of his screentime being a silver spoon Jerkass, but it's no fun watching him slowly bleed out while deliriously asking Kelly if he was right about the new energy source.
• One-Scene Wonder: All of the first three shark victims are more memorable than some characters with more screen-time and plot relevance.
  • Tricia, due to her decently expressive warning/Freak Out when she first sees the shark, her wardrobe, and the brutal way she gets repeatedly dragged under the water. Unusually, this is helped by something unrelated to her physical, on-screen appearance (namely her father putting a bounty on the shark offscreen, affecting the rest of the film).
  • The old fisherman who gets some humorous dialogue with his grandson before his death.
  • The nature tour guide, who gets the most memorable death in the movie (and the only one played for Black Comedy) when she's eaten off a low-hanging ripe bridge during the middle of a poignant Rousing Speech about how the sanctuary is a serene place worth protecting.
