I remember being....6 or 7 and walking into my Aunts living room and this was one. All I remember was the big snake thing bursting out of the black guys (Mr.Hudson now) chest. My aunt came in the living room and I guess I had the remote in my hand and was crying my eyes out at the scene, and she asks me 'Why don't you just turn it off?'

 

my response?

 

'I caaaaan't' (tears running down my eyes)

 

Thus began my love affair with violent and chaotic imagery. Thanks Cinema.

I have this memory of someone getting attacked by a shark right at the end of the film, even though the movie isn't about sharks. Does that actually happen?

Kind of. The final set piece of the film takes place on the surface of the water and becomes Jaws. There actually are some sharks that start threatening our heroes, but the sharks bust on out of there once Pappa Leviathan shows up and starts eating some fools. Or because the post team ran out of shark stock footage...

I always get this confused with Deep Star 6.

Deep Star 6 was the one with Briana Evigan's dad.

Ernie Hudson was lucky enough to avoid the usual cinema tropes, making it all the way to the surface. I think it sounds Michael Carmine and a snake (well, sort of) going into his stomach. Easy enough to remember differently after all this time.
