I recall a friend calling a nurse shark he worked with at the aquarium " Basically a water wolf. It's capable of being trained on a very basic level, will seek you out for attention like a canine, but can also if you make one wrong move horribly maim you. "
From what I've heard and researched, nursing sharks are the best type of shark to keep as a pet. They have a reputation of being very docile in the Florida Keys, to the point a diver out there told me they would pull them away from lobster dens without the sharks putting up a fight. Actually during our vacation there my brother ended up catching a young one (it was released safely) and our friend that was handling it remarked on it being docile and not overly freaked out about being handled. We've managed to get more than three thirds of the way through domesticating foxes, I'm starting to wonder if we should look to the wolves of the sea for domestication. Dolphins and whales are not good ideas, one side is too big and best left to its own devices, and the other is scheming and crafty to the point of committing many of the same crimes as humanity.
They have actually fully domesticated foxes. A group of Russian ( I think) scientists did it. They took only the most docile foxes and bred them. Then from those batches they again only bred the most docile. Rinse and repeat. The foxes from those experiments wag their tails around humans, etc. Their fur patterns have even started changing to patterns you’ll NEVER find in the wild.
@@alexanderglass2057 First off: we cant tell how far we are into domesticating anything. Second: three thirds, is 100% numb nuts. Third: it takes thousands of years to fully domesticate an animal. We are nowhere near having domesticated foxes, although we are making progress.
iirc nurse sharks (and the majority of shark species) are actually too small to do life threatening damage. they absolutely could take fingers and toes, but unless they get a major artery they probably won't kill you. also great white sharks get a lot of undue crap as they're usually pretty chill and don't like the taste of humans. they only bite people because their eyesight is horrible and they can't tell what tastes good until they take a bite. fighting back usually causes them to back off. The really dangerous ones are bull sharks and black tip reef sharks, which have a habit of going goblin mode when you fight back, ripping people apart, even if they don't actually eat them. take this all with a grain of salt because it was years ago when I did this research so I might be misremembering.
The fact that test audiences demanded they kill off Susan because she literally caused this whole mess by making hyper intellegent death sharks will always be hilarious to me. Like yeah she is doing this for a good cause, but at the same time, she chose sharks. It could have been literally any other animal, but she chose sharks. She deserves that.
Because the whole point was because sharks are immune to Alzheimer's disease due to how their brain is structured, so they altered them to grow their brains to be larger so they can take more samples.
From a filmmaking standpoint, they had Sam Jackson's character get eaten by the shark out of water because they wanted to give the audience the impression that no-one's safe. If you saw a big name actor amongst relatively unknown actors, you're immediately assuming they're surviving.
4:26 - Peter Benchley, who wrote the original Jaws novel and co-wrote the movie, said he had regret for his writing that contributed to the already misconceptions that sharks are evil, vicious monsters. He would then go on to be an advocate for shark and ocean conservation.
@@KillerChrono666Nowadays that's the bulk of it, but following Jaws's release there were mass killings that were celebrated around the world as great deeds, for several years, and even to this day killing a shark is seen as a good thing by the public. Something that isn't really reflected in virtually any other predator on the planet. People mourn when a bear needs to be put down, regret having to kill a lion, even a rabid dog is a huge shame, but killing a shark is reason to go get a beer at the pub.
Clarification: the team didn't choose to feed sharks to the sharks. The humans somehow learned that the sharks would eat nothing but other sharks so that's what they had to feed them in order to keep them alive. I could not figure out how they arrived at the conclusion that the sharks would only eat other sharks.
He didn't really watch the movie. That's why he thinks all 3 are enormous. The wiki authors didn't really watch it either, since they make the same mistake. Fancy that coincidence.
Not to write the story for the writers but maybe they started off with more sharks in each generation and found out they would only eat each other and figured they would try sending in other sharks as food
@@Marcara081 And you obviously didn't watch or pay attention to the video, because it's pretty clear just from the chosen scenes that the sharks are constantly changing size to fit whatever the scene requires them to be. The movie's creators played very fast and loose with shark sizing because it wasn't intended to be analyzed in this much detail and survive the scrutiny. It was just supposed to be another horror movie with sharks.
A fun fact about sharks. They are also extremely resistant to disease and their ability to heal is as close to wolverine levels as fish get. Bastards can swim away from a motorboat propeller shredding their back and so long as they don't die the blood loss they can heal up to just about as good as new. Freaking scary if you ask me. Edit: I appreciate all of the people trying to list things that are not fish as if they are fish. Makes me wonder what biology classes teach these days that so many people can't identify what a "fish" is.
I think she was using the sharks' hatred for her as a lure, in addition to the blood. Blood, they might just ignore, but blood specifically from the person who experimented on them, they couldn't pass up that opportunity.
Sharks can pick up on blood, but what really attracts them is motion in the water. Their bodies can feel motion just as far as they can smell blood. She could smell her blood, but felt that someone was swimming towards her and was a potential threat while she was trying to break through the fence.
Nah, the thrashing is super important. Sharks can detect blood, but they are drawn into flopping and splashing of dying or stressed fish. Sharks are the oceans garbage disposals. Mark Rover has a really cool video on sharks following blood trails and it informs sharks but it's not a huge huge motive for them.
Fun fact: during test screening the female scientist was suppose to live, but audiences felt she deserved to be unalive. So producers and writers had to come up with a way to unalive her.
One of my favorite movies growing up. Wished more movies utilized the Idea of intelligent sharks in a good film. I know there 2 other movies in this series but neither had that Sam feeling as the first
I always got the impression they made the lab in the middle of the ocean because of the "illegal" gene sequencing they were doing on the sharks. International waters and all that
Fun fact: the license plate he takes away from the shark is the same license plate taken from the tiger shark’s stomach in the movie “Jaws” by Hooper and remarked by Brody as “he didn’t eat a car, did he?” It may or may not be the same prop, even. It’s clearly a reference to a much better movie.
@TheBomberman122 Jaws basically started the whole blockbuster nonsense and you can even argue was the start of the death of cinema. With all the BS sequels it received. I mean it laid out the formula for modern trash.
@@SpecialistkayNonsense? You mean being a masterpiece and insanely popular film? Nonsense is the fact that we let humans copy each other and not punish the lack of creativity among us. Jaws didn't ruin anything. Your did, your parents generation did. The fkn Star wars stans did. Buyimg mer h when the movies suck And the fact that 99% of the human population is beholden to hormones and not even remotely their intelligence.
The male anglerfish are notably smaller than the females, and they do not use the same bait females do to hunt. They are constantly in a search for females to mate with and have evolved in a sort of a parasitic life partner to them. When a male anglerfish encounters a female, he latches onto her using his sharp teeth. What happens next is quite fascinating. As time passes, the male starts to fuse with the female physically. He attaches to her skin and bloodstream and begins to lose his eyes and internal organs. Eventually, all that is left of the male is the testes. A female usually carries around six males on her body, although there are cases when it is even more than that.
I remember reading about the life cycles of anglerfish. The switch from separate organism to parasite is both interesting and distinctly horrifying. I could be wrong but anglerfish are unique in that they have the greatest size discrepancy between male and female.

Yea, my grandmother had dementia and Alzheimer's, now my my is starting to show signs and it's really freaking her out, knowing that her brain is starting to fail.
@13shadowwolf it is scary just some tips. Socialization and learning new things can slow cognitive aging. It might help slow the progression. And like Roanoke mentioned physical exercise helps slow progression.
I legit just fuckn died snort laughing at the "its about sharks so if you think we arent going to talk about angler" and just the sudden stop. Perfection
Bruce Willis suffering from dementia breaks my heart. One of my favorite actors. I wrap presents every year while watching Die Hard. And yes, Die Hard IS a Christmas movie!
The most ridiculous thing about shark films is that they would want to eat us. Humans make terrible eating. What we should do is team up with sharks to wipe out the real menace of the oceans, dolphins.
I think the demon fish missed Carter on purpose in the wet-lab. It was trying to herd the survivors to flood the lab and the room Carter escaped into was non-flooded, thus furthering their plan. Also, only one of the second gen female shark was over 45 feet long, the other two males were smaller. As for the scientific knowledge you covered, I am in no position to question. You're videos remain awesome, hilarious and insightful and I am always super pumped to see new content from you!
@@Backstabmacro I think they even mention in the film that the female was actually the pack leader. The smaller males were more docile and followed her lead.
Carter was really a shark in a human suit, they had to at least look like they were trying to get him to avoid arousing suspicion. it was an inside job all along.
@@bradymenting5120 Preach: Hey Carter, you sure it was just three sharks? Carter: Yeah. Preach: Oh, okay. *Carter looks directly into camera and smiles* *Saw theme*
Also I think the sharks goal was to destroy the scientists AND their lab. So herding Carter towards different places to allow more flooding is key to the overall goal of making sure those stupid humans can't do **all this** again
I was LITERALLY just thinking about how it would be great if you made a video about this movie! It was my favorite as a kid and fueled my love for sharks haha
I’ve had that happen a few times with Roanoke. I’ll be going through my day and “Wonder if Roanoke’s ever gonna do that.” I’ll get on YT and there it is lol. Man’s got the ESP.
Given the size of his audience, I am willing to bet all but the most obscure movies have someone thinking about a movie just before he does it. I guess the question is if you should buy a lottery ticket because it's your lucky day or if Roanoke used all your luck up.
The first gen sharks were larger than normal size but not half the size of the 2nd gen. The 2nd gen was larger because a result of enlarging the brain was growth of the shark. Which explains why two of the sharks could get in the facility easier.
Flying a helicopter is, first and foremost, a balancing act, and the winch was mounted slightly off to the side and above the center of mass. Imagine that you are lifting something that is to one side of you. Now imagine that, instead of standing on nice solid ground, you are balancing on top of a large ball. You CAN still do it, but it ain't as easy as you think. When the cable was pulled, it pulled that side of the helicopter down slightly. Tipping the helicopter to the side causes it to fly in that direction. The pilot now has to figure out exactly what the heck is going on, compensate, and then apply power to pull away.
This movie left such a big impact on me, i was 6 at the time, but instead of being terrified of sharks now i became really interested in their biological functions and evolutionary history, and im so glad that you chose to cover it!
I remember being 8, waking up from surgery for a broken arm, and this movie being on in my hospital room because my dad was watching it. I was woozy, in pain, and immediately see Stellan Skarsgard get his arm taken off. Good times.
I was a film student in high school and when my film teacher was trying to shut the class up, he would say “SHARK BAIT” and we had to respond “OOH HA HA” instead of clapping or counting or whatever. Idk that reference just reminded me of that. He was my fave teacher. Probably helped that he was only 9 years older than me and we had the same interests.
Used to love the ocean as a kid. But once on a trip to Bali we were snorkelling about one of the small islands off the coast and I wasn’t watching where I was swimming looking at the fish, all of a sudden the nice tropical water became very cold and I looked down and the sea floor had just gone vertical straight down into pitch black. I had never been more terrified in my entire life looking down into the abyss with scattered fish and other creepy things and one very large, I am guessing sail fish. I immediately swam back to the shore faster then I have ever swam before and in nearly twenty years I’ve never gone too far into the ocean ever again.
I was just watching Open Water 5 minutes ago and thought it was strange there was a tropical bottom with a coral reef one second and then a bottomless black pit the next. Didn’t know it was a real thing until reading your comment lol

Okay, hear me out, the fear of the open ocean is a completely rational fear. Even the strongest Human swimmers can only swim for a day or two without succumbing to tiredness and then drowning. The fear of the open ocean has probably kept humans alive. Anyways another thing to think about; Humans have no natural predators, or much reason to fear the open air in daylight. We can comfortably take a stroll outside during the day. Sure we COULD get mugged or whatever but the likelihood of that is relatively low so long as we stay in familiar territory. This is probably how sharks feel when swimming around.
I’d almost prefer smart sharks, because the ones right now only kill people mainly due to mistaken identity. It’s like a kid biting into a chocolate chip cookie and finding out it’s actually sugar free oatmeal raisin
At the very beginning of the video when you said the ocean is a scary place I just heard Mitch Hedberg saying "If fish could scream the ocean would be loud as shit"😂
That feeling in subnautica the first time you approach and look down a sheer cliff into pitch black darkness knowing you have to go down ( I've never felt so terrified in a game ) 😂
I love that you have covered so many of my favorite creature features! I hope to see you do sharktopus or feast 2 where they do an autopsy of the creature or even Peter benchley's creature!
My malamute could open door handles easily, then she figured out how to open door knobs-- yes, door knobs-circular bulbs, with her mouth. Maybe the hyper intelligent shark figured out how to turn the door hatch wheel with its mouth? That would have been hilarious to have in this movie. Like it's so silly at the end when the giant, final shark sniffs the water for Sarah's blood, literally looks like a cartoon character smelling the wafting aroma of a pie.
Did it say the sharks in this movie were 45 feet long specifically? Because I think Makos only get like 10ft long normally. 45ft is like small Megalodon size.
30:45 "Now is the time of the movie where I hold my breath to see if I could actually survive....." I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one who does this 🤣 I definitely did it more as a kid or teenager but that got me good. Also I love all your Halo references Roanoke, never change good sir 👍
Tigersharks and makos are very distantly related. Tigers and bullsharks are closely related and they are in one major group, whilst makos and white sharks are in the other major group.
Please do a video on how much tech a person can replace their body with before the brain rejects it. Like the Adeptus Mechanicus 40k, robo cop, or cyberpunk.
40k is a special case. The machines grafted onto humans would rot and decay if a techpriest doesn't administer spiritual maintenance. Hyperefficient antibiotics on a dripfeed would be child's play. 40k is very interesting, as all the Empires' computers are biological and human in origin. Even some door lock security panels are still living human skulls, physically 'programmed' to react with certain stimuli. Typing machines- human servoskulls. On board missile tracking systems- disposable living biological processing servoskulls. All machines have souls more or less, and have to be tended to by prayer or they'll at best stop working, at worst become corrupted and possessed by daemons. 40k is just lovely, ain't it?
5:45 At least the sharks will kill you. Dolphins just leaving traumatized after what they've done. Dolphins would legitimately stop halfway through say "I'm just stuck that into you" and leave.
iirc, dolphins will also deliberately attack puffer fish to make them puff up and then gently jab themselves on the spines to get high on the toxins, even passing a puffer fish around the group like a blunt. then there's the whole CIA Dolphin Experiment from the 60's. dolphins are straight up psychopaths when they're not performing for treats. @@RoanokeGaming
@@kassassin_brahgawk Oh. I haven't seen that movie in over twenty years. It was actually pretty scary until the climax with the baseball bat and the water.
@@BioGoji-zm5ph totally worth the rewatch. I think the scariest part is when Beau the kid says she can't sleep and needs water because there's a monster outside of her window And then there is There are some really funny moments also. All and all a great movie. :) 👽🛸🌽⛪
True story: the Vikings used to take Greenland sharks and eat them. But the shark's flesh is so poisonous, even a tiny bit of it will kill you. What the Vikings did was bury it in the ground for several months, let it ferment, then dry it and eat it. It smells like cleaning fluid.
The sharks in this one is one of the most iconic monsters in films, they move with such ferocity and looks truly sinister and menacing, a mix of speed and smarts, shows you really they are super intelligent rather than natural predators and actually enjoys toying with their preys like serial killers. Second best shark film ever after Jaws IMO.
I disagree on toying with their victims. They have a plan and humans are not even major obstacle after their plan has been set into motion. They are much more opportunistic about their attacks as well.
Mako's aesthetics are much cooler than a Great Whites. Longer pointer face and nose, teeth jutting out in all directions, much larger black eyes. The sharks look a lot more menacing than like Jaws with it's beefed up Great White. Best thing about the film is because of that little changeup.
Partially explained by the fact whites and makos come from the same family, mackerel sharks. Mackerel sharks are also some of the only fish to have evolved metabolic endothermy (or at least something close to it) that they can switch on and off.
The guy strapped to the gurney getting slammed into the glass was what freaked me out the most as a kid. I was totally ok with Susan getting got. She was too smug, manipulating mother nature in the way she did.
@Kingdeathtrooper is that what Industry told you. No its Father Time and Mother Nature. Somebody call the cops creepy uncle Industry is over here diddling the kids again
As someone who does have Alzheimer's prevalent in the family, and who seems to be very likely doomed with Alzheimer's in the future, I very much appreciate your little segment about how to... lessen it. To this day not that many people know about that. And (obviously) not many "movie monster" channels touch on it either. So thank you for spreading the word and just a little positivity in the face of an absolutely terrifying disease ❤
I had a mythology teacher in college who was a lawyer. She had no other credentials for teaching that class. She treated us like kindergartners. At one point she said that humanity is getting increasingly stupid and cites some study that shows our brains are shrinking. She said that this is why we are becoming dumber, and each generations brain is getting smaller. She was an awful teacher. The brain getting smaller NEVER JUST MEAN we are getting dumber. It could be a lot of complex reasons. The CPU the brain of the computer and it's like 2 by 2 inches. A smaller brain might just mean it's getting more efficient at storing information.
@@censoredduetowrongthink She didn't even have any proper studies in mythology the only thing on her resume was that she was a lawyer. I have no idea how she got the position. You expect her to at least have a degree in Ancient History.
An interesting note on the Ocean Gate thing; there's a TH-camr named Thunderfoot who suggested that if the sub sank due to a small hole rather than explosive decompression then the passengers would have died due to the air in the sub being compressed to the point it was no longer breathable. That or they died of hypothermia.
I think there was a line somewhere in the movie stating that 1 shark was larger than the others. I always figured the smaller ones got inside the hallways while the big one stayed outside.
This can also be Gender Dimorphism. Believe or not, Shark Females Can Be Bigger than their Male Partners! This is true for Great Whites, and true for some of the Predatory species. And these fictional Makos basically take up those genetic properties.
@@Necrowolf81well if it was a single line, then that could be easily missed just by like zoning out for a few seconds or getting distracted. I think it’s a stretch to say he didn’t watch or pay attention to the movie.
@@Necrowolf81I mean I watched the movie at least 5 times over my life, and I completely missed the fact that only one was huge. I've always just attributed it to movie magic, like the shark suddenly becoming a massive bus at the end.
When I was a kid, I went through a phase where I was obsessed with creature features like this. Jaws started it, but then there was The Beast about a giant squid, Lake Placid...some other alligator movie that was so bad I haven't bothered to remember the name...and of course, this movie. Which is also pretty bad, but in a way that keeps you coming back. As a kid it shocked me a bit that the "final girl" didn't make it, but she was also and awful person and this was all pretty much her fault and it's all just kind of amused me more and more with age.
Some other alligator movie that was so bad you didn’t bother remembering the name. Gives me hope that it was one of those SYFY channel original movies like Dinocroc vs Supergator. Or the one with I think a bunch of drug dealers that just said “fuck” what felt like at least a thousand times in that movie.
@@hollowgetsuga425I'm wondering if they were thinking about the 1980 movie Alligator starring Robert Forster. Although, in my personal opinion, that movie is actually very good. And some of the effects of the giant alligator they built were really damn good. And that movie freaked me out when I was a kid, especially the part at nighttime where the giant alligator was chillin in a swimming pool at a house and a kid gets pushed off the diving board by his "friends" into the pool with it and gets chomped!
So I just started my job at an elite marine biology lab that was built on a secret base on the Moon. We're going to be breeding vacuum-resistant Angler Fish. We're hoping to get the budget needed to outfit each Angler Fish with it's own special mech suit designed to operate in space and survive re-entry through a planet's atmosphere.
Roanoke always gives multiple reasons a video to leave a like. Always such good script/off script jokes and riffs. Also at the same time a better movie reviewer then half of TH-cam... without even trying!
Sure sure. Don’t make me laugh. He either didn’t actually watch this movie or didn’t pay close attention. The movie clearly states only ONE shark was 45 feet.
1:55 I straight up choked on a cup of coffee in order not to spit it up all over my screen. My dog is confused as to why I'm equal parts laughing and crying. Never change, Roanoke Gaming.
You do know only one of the sharks is 45 ft. Watch Samuel L. Jackson's death scene again and pay attention to when he's being eaten. Also it's stated many times throughout the movie that there's one giant female and two smaller ones.
What my mom taught me was to let the eggs cook in the pan for a bit first to get some of that white non-mixed part, and then you gently stir it up with some cheese
@7:55 reminds me of that line in the hangover 2, where cho kills his prized chicken fighter Wallace. "what the hell do you feed that thing?!" -'Cocaine, and chicken.'
Your story is eerily similar to why I don’t swim in the ocean anymore. During hurricane sandy the waves were super big and my father asked if I wanted to go night swimming. Even at sunset it was bright enough for me to see an absolute FUCKING UNIT of a shadow swim under me. I set records hitting the beech. I’ve never once swam past chest hight water since.
This movie has always been my moms favourite movie of all time. Whenever I was home from school sick as a kid, there was an approximate 100% chance of watching this movie with her. It hold such nostalgia for me and I’m so excited to see you cover it here! Definitely going to have to rewatch the movie with my Mom and then show her your take on it!
Just to add to your probably long longer list of movies. Think it’ll be cool if you looked at Godzilla vs spacegodzilla. Because spacegodzillas origins is kinda nutty 😂
@@RoanokeGaming Man, speakin' of Godzilla, it may not relate to anything here on the channel, but you should go see Godzilla Minus One while it's in theaters here in the States. Just saw it today, and it's fantastic!
I always thought it was odd that they picked Makos in particular, like maybe start with a little mini port jackson in an aquarium before we start on the Makos in retrofitted navy bases?
I've never clicked a notification this fast! Roanoke releases a video about Deep Blue Sea? Stop and drop whatever your doing, this is way more important!
@@RoanokeGaming Buddy, you've got me hooked since you cracked the line "Momma didn't raise no bitch" in a necromorph video couple of years back. Thank you for making these videos!
A lovely way to start my morning, an upload from my favorite biologist, scientist, and anglerfish hater. Have been binging a lot of your videos on a kick lately, was curious if you might ever visit the 2003 Tremors TV show. It had some interesting creatures and themes from what I remember as a kid (it divulges from the main creatures of the movies) and I think seeing something from that would be cool. Hope you're having a good one!
@@RoanokeGamingthey're actually massive Makos which I'm glad they used a different shark that wasn't the Great White or the Bull which sadly the sequel will do. But yeah I wonder 🤨 why they didn't make a Tiger Shark animatronic that looks like an actual Tiger Shark. The company is amazing at making realistic sharks to the point they're even used in Zoos. In universe I don't know...maybe cross breeding.
Dude, I was so excited reading the title! You do great videos all around IMO, but when you go over a movie that's special to me, it's that much better. I wish you and yours the best.
I was under the impression they were not feeding the shark to the sharks, they were just putting them together and the reason why the guy sees it and is surprised is cuz that's not supposed to happen and realizes theres something wrong with the other sharks. I havent watched the movie in a while so not sure
The reason they put the Tiger shark in the tank with them was because the genetically altered sharks would only eat other sharks. I think they explained it before they put the tiger shark in the tank. They tried other food like tuna an other fish but the Smart Sharks will only eat other regular sharks for some unknown reason.
They had her survive in the original screen tests and the audiences were so frustrated that she survived that they changed it and reshot what they needed to have her get ate and the crowd loved it. Her getting ate and Sam Jackson getting ate are two iconic deaths from sharks in my mind. Like who's Jaws? These sharks were what I was afraid of when I was younger.
Wait, wait... was that RONNY COX at the start of the movie? Ronny Cox... NOT playing the villain in the sci-fi movie!? Man, this film is just full of surprises.
You forgot to cover the part about the survivors not getting capped by the bends at the end after being under enormous amounts of pressure for hours in the facility without decompressing before surfacing!
Every since that moment anything that’s live in the ocean catch these hands on sight 😂😂 funny asf love Roanoke got me dying love this channel been growing strong for about 3 & and half years now I’ll be here till the end.✊🏽👏🏼👏🏼
Man, I'm going through some tough life shit and Roanoke's jabs on the angler fish make me happy. Thanks dude, you're the only channel that keeps me coming back to YT!
I remember my mom told me I could get any VHS for my 6th birthday. I chose this movie, because I liked sharks and ended up being traumatized, but still obsessed with this movie. It is still the single reason for my thalassophobia.
Imagine being a biologist at all when you could’ve been a gigachad physicist. Love the content Roanoke! I hope they cast you as an extra in a Dead Space live action movie so you can tell them how to correctly design necromorphs (starting with the feet).
You weren't kidding when you were talking about dementia coming on rapidly in the first minute or so of the video. My mom was showing signs of some cognitive impairment before we knew about her dementia--she would get stuck in loops of asking the same questions or making the same statements. Within just a few months of me noticing this (we're not close, so I didn't see her often), she had declined so much that she'd stopped paying her bills, taking her medication, etc. She went from high functioning to functioning at about the rate of a five year old in under 5 months. I have no idea why her brain is breaking down so quickly vs. other women her age, but there have been a few studies linking trauma and mental health to dementia--and she had a lot of unpacked baggage. Maybe something about unhealthy coping for decades upon decades made her brain/body sacrifice some wiring (or proteins idk) for other functions until it just couldn't anymore. She would have been a perfect case study if she weren't so far gone already.
I remember watching this as a teen and trying to figure out who'd get out alive. Also brilliant to stand with your back to the water while maneating sharks are in the water. Also horses are smarter than humans, because horses would never consider making a hyper predator hyper smart and then going in said hyper smart predator's world as a good idea.

The foxes from those experiments wag their tails around humans, etc. Their fur patterns have even started changing to patterns you’ll NEVER find in the wild.
@@alexanderglass2057 First off: we cant tell how far we are into domesticating anything.
Second: three thirds, is 100% numb nuts.
Third: it takes thousands of years to fully domesticate an animal. We are nowhere near having domesticated foxes, although we are making progress.
@@alexanderglass2057 Nurse sharks, not nursing sharks.
iirc nurse sharks (and the majority of shark species) are actually too small to do life threatening damage. they absolutely could take fingers and toes, but unless they get a major artery they probably won't kill you.
also great white sharks get a lot of undue crap as they're usually pretty chill and don't like the taste of humans. they only bite people because their eyesight is horrible and they can't tell what tastes good until they take a bite. fighting back usually causes them to back off. The really dangerous ones are bull sharks and black tip reef sharks, which have a habit of going goblin mode when you fight back, ripping people apart, even if they don't actually eat them.
take this all with a grain of salt because it was years ago when I did this research so I might be misremembering.
The fact that test audiences demanded they kill off Susan because she literally caused this whole mess by making hyper intellegent death sharks will always be hilarious to me.
Like yeah she is doing this for a good cause, but at the same time, she chose sharks. It could have been literally any other animal, but she chose sharks. She deserves that.
Why didn't they just choose something like chickens?
Who would watch a movie about super smart chickens?
@@robertnelson9599me glances over at the Jurassic park/World Series
Because the whole point was because sharks are immune to Alzheimer's disease due to how their brain is structured, so they altered them to grow their brains to be larger so they can take more samples.
@@JeffyisaninterestingguyGreed got them I guess. 😂
From a filmmaking standpoint, they had Sam Jackson's character get eaten by the shark out of water because they wanted to give the audience the impression that no-one's safe. If you saw a big name actor amongst relatively unknown actors, you're immediately assuming they're surviving.
Like Ryan Reynolds in Life
4:26 - Peter Benchley, who wrote the original Jaws novel and co-wrote the movie, said he had regret for his writing that contributed to the already misconceptions that sharks are evil, vicious monsters. He would then go on to be an advocate for shark and ocean conservation.
I can't remember the exact number, but it's something like 60-80% of the world's shark populations have been killed since the release of jaws.
@@Vrikrar Mostly due to gill nets and poachers wanting fins for a fucking bowl of soup.
@@KillerChrono666Nowadays that's the bulk of it, but following Jaws's release there were mass killings that were celebrated around the world as great deeds, for several years, and even to this day killing a shark is seen as a good thing by the public.
Something that isn't really reflected in virtually any other predator on the planet.
People mourn when a bear needs to be put down, regret having to kill a lion, even a rabid dog is a huge shame, but killing a shark is reason to go get a beer at the pub.
I always hated the pandemonium that jaws created about sharks. It makes me so angry how misinformed the average joe is about them.
Clarification: the team didn't choose to feed sharks to the sharks. The humans somehow learned that the sharks would eat nothing but other sharks so that's what they had to feed them in order to keep them alive. I could not figure out how they arrived at the conclusion that the sharks would only eat other sharks.
He didn't really watch the movie. That's why he thinks all 3 are enormous. The wiki authors didn't really watch it either, since they make the same mistake. Fancy that coincidence.
But they were enormous compared to regular sharks 🦈
came here to say this lol
Not to write the story for the writers but maybe they started off with more sharks in each generation and found out they would only eat each other and figured they would try sending in other sharks as food
@@Marcara081 And you obviously didn't watch or pay attention to the video, because it's pretty clear just from the chosen scenes that the sharks are constantly changing size to fit whatever the scene requires them to be. The movie's creators played very fast and loose with shark sizing because it wasn't intended to be analyzed in this much detail and survive the scrutiny. It was just supposed to be another horror movie with sharks.
I was obsessed with this movie as a kid. I was convinced I would grow up to be a "shark wrangler" but then got mad when the sharks swam backwards
but now we have the get rotated, idiot technology lol
A fun fact about sharks. They are also extremely resistant to disease and their ability to heal is as close to wolverine levels as fish get. Bastards can swim away from a motorboat propeller shredding their back and so long as they don't die the blood loss they can heal up to just about as good as new.
Freaking scary if you ask me.
Edit: I appreciate all of the people trying to list things that are not fish as if they are fish. Makes me wonder what biology classes teach these days that so many people can't identify what a "fish" is.

What's insane is that Susan didn't even have to jump into the water to attract the shark. She could've just let some blood drip off!
With the intelligence of the sharks, it probably required a visual confirmation.
I think she was using the sharks' hatred for her as a lure, in addition to the blood. Blood, they might just ignore, but blood specifically from the person who experimented on them, they couldn't pass up that opportunity.
Sharks can pick up on blood, but what really attracts them is motion in the water. Their bodies can feel motion just as far as they can smell blood. She could smell her blood, but felt that someone was swimming towards her and was a potential threat while she was trying to break through the fence.
Nah, the thrashing is super important.
Sharks can detect blood, but they are drawn into flopping and splashing of dying or stressed fish. Sharks are the oceans garbage disposals.
Mark Rover has a really cool video on sharks following blood trails and it informs sharks but it's not a huge huge motive for them.
Apparently that was the original plan but the test audiences didn’t like it.
Fun fact: during test screening the female scientist was suppose to live, but audiences felt she deserved to be unalive. So producers and writers had to come up with a way to unalive her.

Sharks have existed as a species long enough that they have witnessed two galactic rotations of the sun around the center of the milky way.
What did the marine biologists do to this man to make him hate them so much
The male anglerfish are notably smaller than the females, and they do not use the same bait females do to hunt. They are constantly in a search for females to mate with and have evolved in a sort of a parasitic life partner to them. When a male anglerfish encounters a female, he latches onto her using his sharp teeth. What happens next is quite fascinating.
As time passes, the male starts to fuse with the female physically. He attaches to her skin and bloodstream and begins to lose his eyes and internal organs. Eventually, all that is left of the male is the testes. A female usually carries around six males on her body, although there are cases when it is even more than that.
NOOOOOOOOOOOO! I WANTED TO FORGET THIS; YOU PRICK! LOL
Another reason why Roanoke should hate angler fish
Ohhhh really???
So she's just got a bunch of Testicles hanging off of her?

I remember reading about the life cycles of anglerfish. The switch from separate organism to parasite is both interesting and distinctly horrifying.
I could be wrong but anglerfish are unique in that they have the greatest size discrepancy between male and female.

I think the demon fish missed Carter on purpose in the wet-lab. It was trying to herd the survivors to flood the lab and the room Carter escaped into was non-flooded, thus furthering their plan. Also, only one of the second gen female shark was over 45 feet long, the other two males were smaller. As for the scientific knowledge you covered, I am in no position to question. You're videos remain awesome, hilarious and insightful and I am always super pumped to see new content from you!
Yeah, I think the female was the 45-footer, and the other two sharks were significantly smaller, like 20 feet.
@@Backstabmacro I think they even mention in the film that the female was actually the pack leader. The smaller males were more docile and followed her lead.
Carter was really a shark in a human suit, they had to at least look like they were trying to get him to avoid arousing suspicion. it was an inside job all along.
@@bradymenting5120 Preach: Hey Carter, you sure it was just three sharks?

I’ve had that happen a few times with Roanoke. I’ll be going through my day and “Wonder if Roanoke’s ever gonna do that.” I’ll get on YT and there it is lol. Man’s got the ESP.
Given the size of his audience, I am willing to bet all but the most obscure movies have someone thinking about a movie just before he does it. I guess the question is if you should buy a lottery ticket because it's your lucky day or if Roanoke used all your luck up.
The first gen sharks were larger than normal size but not half the size of the 2nd gen. The 2nd gen was larger because a result of enlarging the brain was growth of the shark. Which explains why two of the sharks could get in the facility easier.
18:20 makes me chuckle, the shark just kinda flips its head up and Jim doubles in speed flying through the water
Flying a helicopter is, first and foremost, a balancing act, and the winch was mounted slightly off to the side and above the center of mass.
Imagine that you are lifting something that is to one side of you. Now imagine that, instead of standing on nice solid ground, you are balancing on top of a large ball. You CAN still do it, but it ain't as easy as you think.
When the cable was pulled, it pulled that side of the helicopter down slightly. Tipping the helicopter to the side causes it to fly in that direction. The pilot now has to figure out exactly what the heck is going on, compensate, and then apply power to pull away.
The crew chiefs should have just hit the cable sever button

I remember being 8, waking up from surgery for a broken arm, and this movie being on in my hospital room because my dad was watching it. I was woozy, in pain, and immediately see Stellan Skarsgard get his arm taken off. Good times.
For context, the science at the time of this movie's release was that consuming foods stored in tin was something that caused Alzheimer's.
I was a film student in high school and when my film teacher was trying to shut the class up, he would say “SHARK BAIT” and we had to respond “OOH HA HA” instead of clapping or counting or whatever. Idk that reference just reminded me of that. He was my fave teacher. Probably helped that he was only 9 years older than me and we had the same interests.
Used to love the ocean as a kid. But once on a trip to Bali we were snorkelling about one of the small islands off the coast and I wasn’t watching where I was swimming looking at the fish, all of a sudden the nice tropical water became very cold and I looked down and the sea floor had just gone vertical straight down into pitch black. I had never been more terrified in my entire life looking down into the abyss with scattered fish and other creepy things and one very large, I am guessing sail fish. I immediately swam back to the shore faster then I have ever swam before and in nearly twenty years I’ve never gone too far into the ocean ever again.
I was just watching Open Water 5 minutes ago and thought it was strange there was a tropical bottom with a coral reef one second and then a bottomless black pit the next. Didn’t know it was a real thing until reading your comment lol

Okay, hear me out, the fear of the open ocean is a completely rational fear. Even the strongest Human swimmers can only swim for a day or two without succumbing to tiredness and then drowning. The fear of the open ocean has probably kept humans alive.
Anyways another thing to think about; Humans have no natural predators, or much reason to fear the open air in daylight. We can comfortably take a stroll outside during the day. Sure we COULD get mugged or whatever but the likelihood of that is relatively low so long as we stay in familiar territory. This is probably how sharks feel when swimming around.
I’d almost prefer smart sharks, because the ones right now only kill people mainly due to mistaken identity. It’s like a kid biting into a chocolate chip cookie and finding out it’s actually sugar free oatmeal raisin

My malamute could open door handles easily, then she figured out how to open door knobs-- yes, door knobs-circular bulbs, with her mouth. Maybe the hyper intelligent shark figured out how to turn the door hatch wheel with its mouth? That would have been hilarious to have in this movie.

Did it say the sharks in this movie were 45 feet long specifically? Because I think Makos only get like 10ft long normally. 45ft is like small Megalodon size.

Please do a video on how much tech a person can replace their body with before the brain rejects it. Like the Adeptus Mechanicus 40k, robo cop, or cyberpunk.

40k is a special case. The machines grafted onto humans would rot and decay if a techpriest doesn't administer spiritual maintenance. Hyperefficient antibiotics on a dripfeed would be child's play. 40k is very interesting, as all the Empires' computers are biological and human in origin.

True story: the Vikings used to take Greenland sharks and eat them. But the shark's flesh is so poisonous, even a tiny bit of it will kill you. What the Vikings did was bury it in the ground for several months, let it ferment, then dry it and eat it. It smells like cleaning fluid.
The sharks in this one is one of the most iconic monsters in films, they move with such ferocity and looks truly sinister and menacing, a mix of speed and smarts, shows you really they are super intelligent rather than natural predators and actually enjoys toying with their preys like serial killers. Second best shark film ever after Jaws IMO.
I disagree on toying with their victims. They have a plan and humans are not even major obstacle after their plan has been set into motion. They are much more opportunistic about their attacks as well.
Mako's aesthetics are much cooler than a Great Whites. Longer pointer face and nose, teeth jutting out in all directions, much larger black eyes. The sharks look a lot more menacing than like Jaws with it's beefed up Great White. Best thing about the film is because of that little changeup.
Partially explained by the fact whites and makos come from the same family, mackerel sharks. Mackerel sharks are also some of the only fish to have evolved metabolic endothermy (or at least something close to it) that they can switch on and off.
Great Whites lose a little something when viewed head on. Namely, they go from "perfect ocean predator" to "Big Chumbus, the Ocean Potato."

This movie still has some of THE BEST practical shark effects I’ve ever seen
I think there was a line somewhere in the movie stating that 1 shark was larger than the others. I always figured the smaller ones got inside the hallways while the big one stayed outside.
True. The Gen 1s were the smaller males (about 15 feet IIRC). The Gen 2 was a much larger female (26 feet).
This can also be Gender Dimorphism. Believe or not, Shark Females Can Be Bigger than their Male Partners! This is true for Great Whites, and true for some of the Predatory species. And these fictional Makos basically take up those genetic properties.

When I was a kid, I went through a phase where I was obsessed with creature features like this. Jaws started it, but then there was The Beast about a giant squid, Lake Placid...some other alligator movie that was so bad I haven't bothered to remember the name...and of course, this movie. Which is also pretty bad, but in a way that keeps you coming back. As a kid it shocked me a bit that the "final girl" didn't make it, but she was also and awful person and this was all pretty much her fault and it's all just kind of amused me more and more with age.
I still enjoy creature features. It started with "Godzilla," which was furthered by "Jaws," and a lot of late nights watching "B" movies.
And then there's me, introduced to creature flicks through Tremors and Tremors 2. Cheesy series, but entertaining.
Some other alligator movie that was so bad you didn’t bother remembering the name. Gives me hope that it was one of those SYFY channel original movies like Dinocroc vs Supergator. Or the one with I think a bunch of drug dealers that just said “fuck” what felt like at least a thousand times in that movie.
@@Akutenshi1990Tremors was a delight...and utterly terrifying. You never see them coming.
@@hollowgetsuga425I'm wondering if they were thinking about the 1980 movie Alligator starring Robert Forster. Although, in my personal opinion, that movie is actually very good. And some of the effects of the giant alligator they built were really damn good.

Even at sunset it was bright enough for me to see an absolute FUCKING UNIT of a shadow swim under me. I set records hitting the beech. I’ve never once swam past chest hight water since.
That poor tree! 😋
This movie has always been my moms favourite movie of all time. Whenever I was home from school sick as a kid, there was an approximate 100% chance of watching this movie with her.
It hold such nostalgia for me and I’m so excited to see you cover it here!
Definitely going to have to rewatch the movie with my Mom and then show her your take on it!
Just to add to your probably long longer list of movies. Think it’ll be cool if you looked at Godzilla vs spacegodzilla. Because spacegodzillas origins is kinda nutty 😂
Lmao Ill have to take a look!
@@RoanokeGaming Man, speakin' of Godzilla, it may not relate to anything here on the channel, but you should go see Godzilla Minus One while it's in theaters here in the States. Just saw it today, and it's fantastic!
I always thought it was odd that they picked Makos in particular, like maybe start with a little mini port jackson in an aquarium before we start on the Makos in retrofitted navy bases?
Or a lemon shark. Let's start with the ocean puppies BEFORE we move onto making sentient carnivorous torpedoes.
@@MachineMan-mj4gji think a bottom feeding Shark is better...you know just in case
@@dariodramac Instructions unclear: giant mutant Port Jackson sharks developed a taste for human craniums.
@@MachineMan-mj4gj well its probably only 5 to 10 feet at Max... right?
@@dariodramac Big enough to be a problem.
Man I can envision the fellas from Japan shark hunting and Roanoke pulling up on a jet ski. He calmly gets off then just starts swinging
I've never clicked a notification this fast!
Roanoke releases a video about Deep Blue Sea? Stop and drop whatever your doing, this is way more important!
Thanks for watching bro! :)
@@RoanokeGaming Buddy, you've got me hooked since you cracked the line "Momma didn't raise no bitch" in a necromorph video couple of years back.
Thank you for making these videos!
A lovely way to start my morning, an upload from my favorite biologist, scientist, and anglerfish hater. Have been binging a lot of your videos on a kick lately, was curious if you might ever visit the 2003 Tremors TV show. It had some interesting creatures and themes from what I remember as a kid (it divulges from the main creatures of the movies) and I think seeing something from that would be cool. Hope you're having a good one!
Hope you mention the weird Tiger Shark that is just a Mako Shark with a Tiger Shark pattern.
Dude I cant remember if I did but I saw that and was confused myself, these are supposed to be Great Whites but why did it have that striping?
Sharks actually love to make hybrids, some of them can even survive for a couple of generations .
@@RoanokeGamingthey're actually massive Makos which I'm glad they used a different shark that wasn't the Great White or the Bull which sadly the sequel will do.
But yeah I wonder 🤨 why they didn't make a Tiger Shark animatronic that looks like an actual Tiger Shark.
The company is amazing at making realistic sharks to the point they're even used in Zoos.
In universe I don't know...maybe cross breeding.
@@Luminousreignthey do?
Holy moly there's one that is a mix of a Reef shark and a Blacktip
Watching gru casually pimp slap a shark was actually low tier funny
Dude, I was so excited reading the title! You do great videos all around IMO, but when you go over a movie that's special to me, it's that much better. I wish you and yours the best.
Dementia really is worse than anything a horror movie can come up with. Enjoy everything while you can.
I was under the impression they were not feeding the shark to the sharks, they were just putting them together and the reason why the guy sees it and is surprised is cuz that's not supposed to happen and realizes theres something wrong with the other sharks.
I havent watched the movie in a while so not sure
The reason they put the Tiger shark in the tank with them was because the genetically altered sharks would only eat other sharks. I think they explained it before they put the tiger shark in the tank. They tried other food like tuna an other fish but the Smart Sharks will only eat other regular sharks for some unknown reason.
Ocean critters? We're getting g awfully close to the great enemy, the Angler Fish.
Facing my fear one monstrosity at a time lmao
They had her survive in the original screen tests and the audiences were so frustrated that she survived that they changed it and reshot what they needed to have her get ate and the crowd loved it.
Her getting ate and Sam Jackson getting ate are two iconic deaths from sharks in my mind. Like who's Jaws? These sharks were what I was afraid of when I was younger.
Wait, wait... was that RONNY COX at the start of the movie? Ronny Cox... NOT playing the villain in the sci-fi movie!? Man, this film is just full of surprises.
You forgot to cover the part about the survivors not getting capped by the bends at the end after being under enormous amounts of pressure for hours in the facility without decompressing before surfacing!
If the facility was pressurized that wouldn’t happen
Every since that moment anything that’s live in the ocean catch these hands on sight 😂😂 funny asf love Roanoke got me dying love this channel been growing strong for about 3 & and half years now I’ll be here till the end.✊🏽👏🏼👏🏼
My Roanoke. We need the anatomy of the deep rising creatures stat!
I have been loving all the angler fish smack talk every episode lately haha it's becoming trademark and I love it
Deep Blue Sea: * exists *
Papa Roanoke: "ANGLERFI..."
Us: * rapturous applause *
Roanoke's rational fear of the ocean is always funny. Thank god I'm double landlocked, or else I would be the same way for sure 😂
What does double landlocked mean?
@@an-animal-loverit means that the state itself is landlocked and then every state surrounding it is also landlocked
@@Goblinhandler I see. Thank you
Oh hell yeah! I’m loving the constant stream of Roanoke gaming and Roanoke tales
Ayyy well Im happy to hear that, its alot but definitely enjoying the interaction! Ill also be streaming here soon as well :)
The angler fish hate has become one of my favorite jokes, not just on this channel, but on the internet itself.
I think I watched this in a hotel one weekend with my friends while being drunk af
starting the vid with back to back star wars references...I love this channel
Man, I'm going through some tough life shit and Roanoke's jabs on the angler fish make me happy. Thanks dude, you're the only channel that keeps me coming back to YT!
I remember my mom told me I could get any VHS for my 6th birthday. I chose this movie, because I liked sharks and ended up being traumatized, but still obsessed with this movie. It is still the single reason for my thalassophobia.
Imagine being a biologist at all when you could’ve been a gigachad physicist.
Love the content Roanoke! I hope they cast you as an extra in a Dead Space live action movie so you can tell them how to correctly design necromorphs (starting with the feet).
Listen here NERD
You weren't kidding when you were talking about dementia coming on rapidly in the first minute or so of the video. My mom was showing signs of some cognitive impairment before we knew about her dementia--she would get stuck in loops of asking the same questions or making the same statements. Within just a few months of me noticing this (we're not close, so I didn't see her often), she had declined so much that she'd stopped paying her bills, taking her medication, etc. She went from high functioning to functioning at about the rate of a five year old in under 5 months. I have no idea why her brain is breaking down so quickly vs. other women her age, but there have been a few studies linking trauma and mental health to dementia--and she had a lot of unpacked baggage. Maybe something about unhealthy coping for decades upon decades made her brain/body sacrifice some wiring (or proteins idk) for other functions until it just couldn't anymore. She would have been a perfect case study if she weren't so far gone already.
From some making of material, they said the big shark animatronic was 26 ft, 8000 lbs and the smaller two were 15 ft, one ton each.
I remember watching this as a teen and trying to figure out who'd get out alive.
Also brilliant to stand with your back to the water while maneating sharks are in the water.
Also horses are smarter than humans, because horses would never consider making a hyper predator hyper smart and then going in said hyper smart predator's world as a good idea.
"Startin from the hooves..."
I love how Roanoke bullied the marine biologist, then larped as a marine biologist the whole video 😂
