In the subtitles when I watched it, it was spelled Pippin, which I really liked, because I named my dog Pippin, after Pippin in The Lord of the Rings :) but it's also still very close to Pippit from Jaws yes I love that too 💯
I haven't commented in awhile but just wanted to say again, I love your content. You two are an absolute blast to watch movies with. Also, The Meg was super underrated when it released. It's a very solid movie.
This is like...#5 in my list of best shark movies. JAWS, Deep Blue Sea, JAWS 2, The Shallows, The Meg. Ironically in the book he DOES kill it from inside after being swallowed and it WAS pregnant. They capture one of the pups in the second book and make it an attraction. Course the book is wildly different, takes place off California mostly.
Growing up in Arizona I had the same farmers tan until I started driving. Then my left arm was always more tan than my right arm, because I would drive around all the time with the window down and my arm on the car door. :D
You know, if you're curious. This movie is based off a series of books, by author "Steve Alten" by the same title "Meg". It's a very good read in case you interested. It really goes more into the science of how these sharks could exist. Very much worth the read. Also, you were correct in your assessment. It is not glass, it is in fact Lexan a very heavy duty plastic often times used in bullet proof glass.
Fun fact: Jason Statham did his own dives for this movie. He also entered as a diver for Great Britain in the 1988 and 1992 Olympic Games but unfortunately failed to qualify.
Truth. The explanation for how it got to the surface was WAY cooler in the book. I read that in the late 90's, WHILE at sea on an aircraft carrier. Read it in one day. Couldn't put it down.
I definitely enjoyed the novel better than the film. Unfortunately, this movie was a 'one and done' for me. The clichés and tropes added to the screenplay turned this into a mindless summer movie. I liken it to Jaws without the chemistry and grounding.
It has always surprised me that Deep Rising hasn't become more of a cult film since it's release. I saw it in theaters when it released and was shocked by how enjoyable and fun it was. Hope the Mr. and Mrs. get around to checking it out. I was the same when I was a kid, watching Deep Star Six, and Leviathan often.
When the doctor admits he was wrong, I like to imagine he was talking about the puncture just missing her liver, because it's not even in the correct quadrant of the torso. But I guess he's a better doctor than their navigator because the Mariana Trench is about 3000 miles from where they say it is.
the Megaladon WAS real it's not a question of IF. They went extinct many years ago. 23:54 the tube/cage that is designed not to break...there is a flaw in that they didn't consider...perhaps one that break might ACTUALLY be safer.
I'm really glad you did this one. I read the books which I really enjoyed. The movie strays from the novel quite a bit, but it's really a fun movie and probably a better story for a movie as the novel gets very complicated story wise. Plus it was just a fun experience. I really do think Statham is perfect for this kind of movie and I can't wait to see how they do the sequel since the story for that novel was even more complicated and probably would be hard to make into a two hour movie. A couple of notes...YES they did do a few Jaws homages in the final scene, like with the little boy wanting to go in the water and the little dog being named Pipit, which was the name of the black lab that was the second victim of Jaws in the beach scene right before the little boy gets eaten. You don't see him get eaten...just his owner throwing his stick in the surf for him to retrieve and then suddenly he's missing as his owner calls his name and looks for him. But Pipit will always be iconic as the Jaws Dog's name. Also, Sir, you have good intuition when you thought a baby was coming out at the end, because in the novel, MEG has two babies right at the end. One of which dies, but the second one, a female they actually name ANGEL, is the shark in the books sequel.
Speaking of people getting a fear of the ocean/sharks from Jaws, does anyone remember that some fast food place had these toys that came in the kids' meals for pools? They had a few different ones. I had the hammerhead and the great white. They were puppets and they could spit out water.
@@niklaslund2204 I think that you're right that it was McDonald's. I also did the same. Like I said, I had the hammerhead and the Great White one but I think there were other kinds. They were fun in the pool.
Seems like it was McDonald's or Long John Silver's (or maybe both). My brother and I had some of these as well when we were younger. I also remember having a Jaws game where the jaw was held open with elastic bands and these little pieces were placed in the bottom jaw. There was this miniaturized version of the extended pole with the hook on it like Quint/Hooper used in the movie, and we took turns trying to remove the little pieces out of the mouth. When the jaw became too light, the bands would cause it to snap shut, and the person with holding that little hook thing lost. Damn..... that makes me feel old.
@@Nimbus1701 I could see a number of fast food places having Jaws themed kids' meal toys for the twenty something anniversary of Jaws or something, I know the ones I'm thinking of were from the late nineties.
You guys nailed both my deepest fears, sharks & tornados. Tornado alley resident, Jaws too early viewer. A tornado narrowly missed me a few years ago. It happened so fast I had no time to experience actual fear, only blank shock & instinct. As for sharks, the ocean is far away but I know they're lurking in the lakes and behind those grates in public pools. Stay vigilant! It was cool seeing YM&TM pop up in the Star Wars trials on Film Threat. This movie's good fun like the newer Piranah movies, I don't think it would've traumatized me.
I sometimes use his line from the beginning of the movie when someone asks me to cover their on-call shift. "You're gonna tell me your problem and I'll say no. You're going to offer me money. I'll still say no. You're gonna appeal to my better nature and I'm gonna say no. Because I don't have one. We'll enjoy a couple of beers and i'll send you on your way."
I liked this movie as well, for the same reasons. It wasn't too cheesy, but it also didn't take itself too serious. "The Shallows" is a pretty tense shark movie that would scare the hell out of you guys. It's at the top of my shark movies. Also, have you ever watched "The Abyss"? If not, it is a must watch.
Same, Mr Movies, and Mrs Movies is probably spot on because I saw Jaws when I was maybe 5. I watch it every summer, but frequently still have nightmares about sharks, although rarely consistent with rewatches. I live about an hour from the beach and I don't go, unless it's to visit the boardwalk. It's severely irrational. I can have a panic attack in a swimming pool if the music pops in my head.
8:19 - 8:30 Well, there was a children program back in the 60s that about a pair of aquanauts in a nuclear submarine that explores the oceans and encounters several different underwater races. Good and bad. For those who want to know what the title of the show that I'm talking about, it is name of the creature that deleted Steve Irwin.
Agreed. I enjoyed this film (along with Deep Blue Sea, 47 metres down and The Shallows) and I'm excited for the sequel but Jaws is such a masterpiece that it can't be topped
@@marktrigg467 yes i get jaws is a good movie.. but alot of the time people tend to like first original movies just because they were the first. better ones can come after and it does happen
Halloween & Scream scared the piss out of me as a child, even the Halloween theme would make me cry & have my heart racing, but both of those are 2 of my all time favorite movies.
🤣.....I screamed & laughed when the lady couldn't talk. AHHHHHHH. It's funny, but isn't, but is. I talk that way sometimes since I had my stroke. My family laughs @ me all the time. Whenever my dumba$$ sister hears me talking crazy she looks @ me & says yabba dabba doo. 🤣 Even when I'm embarrassed, I laugh @ myself. Cain't help it.
"What does a giant shark eat?" Whales. Megalodon was a whale-killer. We have bite marks on fossil whale bones that perfectly match the teeth of Megalodon, and sometimes we even find broken tips of Meg teeth lodged in whale bones as well. But Megalodon was not invincible, nor was it unchallenged. It had a few rivals during the time it was alive, and the biggest of those rivals was a prehistoric sperm whale named Livyatan.
There was one predatory animal that the Megalodon feared: Leviathan. It's basically a sperm whale with giant teeth. Not only did it grow even bigger, they were also faster and being mammals, had much tougher skeletons and probably a bigger appetite as well. A Livyatan would easily crush the cartilage of a Meg.
No evidence suggests Livyatan preyed on meg or vice Versa. It’s possible that they may or may not have been around at the same time. And recent studies suggest the largest megs were bigger than livyatan
The tornado of “The Wizard of Oz” scared the crap outta me as a kid. That scene with Dorothy pounding on the storm cellar door while the tornado comes across the fields scarred me for life. I still dislike that flick. The irony is that I loved all the Oz books as a kid.
Great reaction and fun movie! The opening scene where the nuclear sub blows, if you frame by frame and pay attention, you can actually see the Meg’s outline for a brief second.
It's funny to see Masi Oka talk with a thick accent. He's actually rather plain and normal English speaking. I was freaked the first time I heard him speak in an interview back when Heroes was first on TV. He shocked me completely with how easily and smoothly he spoke. He reminds me of the actor that plays Shang Tsung in Mortal Kombat. That dude doesn't talk ONE BIT like his characters. HIS everyday speech is definitely not as polished and refined as Shang Tsung's. lol
Gedde Watanabe is a great example of this as well. Probably best known as Long Duk Dong from 16 Candles, though I prefer Gung-Ho personally; dude is from Utah and is incredibly well spoken when not playing a character.
I grew up in Oklahoma and later moved to New England, where I learned to scuba dive. I've experienced tornadoes AND diving with sharks in the Florida Keys. Both of those things are frightening as hell; especially the sharks. Of course, you lie to everyone and tell them it was "awesome" and that you weren't scared just so you can seem tough, but when you have a 10 foot reef shark circling you and two of his buddies show up you pretty much know your place in the food chain.
At the start when the Sub explodes with the people inside who they're trying to rescue? You seemed to think it was because it was a nuclear sub it exploded. What actually happened is THAT is probably the best movie representation I've seen of a implosion (like what happened recently with the submersible). The huge pressures involved at that depth cause the air inside the submarine to heat up to massive temperatures which is why you see what looks like an explosion. Also when you get down to the kind of depths they were at in the first half of the movie aquatic animals actually evolve to not even HAVE eyes a lot of the time!
That's not what happens. At all. During an implosion, the hull gets crushed and ruptured, so it's no longer watertight and pressurized. Therefore, the air inside it cannot compress and heat up. It just escapes through all the cracks. That's it. No explosions. No weird stuff or speculation. It's a fact. We know what happens. What you describe is nothing more than an urban myth. A silly one too. Something that somebody came up with to make it more dramatic and for whatever reason some silly people keep repeating. As for the the explosion you see here, let's just say it's either than silly myth or if you want realism, let's say it's the torpedo fuel. If that was a European submarine i'd say it might have even been hydrogen igniting. Sorry for pooping your party.
Oh and the submersible simply fell apart because it was badly made. The hull cracked, as reported by the crew itself during their last transmission and by the Navy. In fact they have recovered large parts of it. No scorching or any of that silly BS. Sudden change in pressure completely destroyed the bodies too. Stop believing in myths.
Theres a cool scene in the movie Underwater where the characters are in pressurized suits at the bottom of the ocean, and one of them implodes after his helmet starts to crack. Realistic or not it was pretty gnarly
@@hulkslayer626 Not likely given the huge pressure difference, however some animals can survive significant pressure changes, notably certain types of Whales such as Sperm whales, which dive to very low depths to hunt Giant Squid. If you want to see what a animal from the bottom of the ocean would look like at the surface, you only have to look at the very famous Blobfish. The common picture of a Blobfish you'll see is at the surface, which means it's at much less pressure then it's used to, and would look very different to how it would at depth.
Just imagine though the shark that they killed at the end of this movie wasn't even the real Meg, this was like the child because Meg 2 is coming out so clearly either a the shark that killed isn't really dead or that was the smaller one
There was Jaws and Jaws. 3. Then there's Shark Night. Next Frantic and the Shallows. And finally, The Meg mine biggest favourable shark movie so far. You said that sharks are your biggest fear. So that makes her number 2 scariest horror in your life. Hahahahaha!!!!
I also have had the Shark in the Simming Pool nightmare a few times as well.... but i had never seen Jaws films though when i had those nightmares 🤔to be honest i think seeing in person as a child of a feeding of a massive Cow leg to a shark and my dad saying you know the shark is basically in a massive swimming pool is the cause for said shark in a pool nightmare.
YES! I am just like your husband, in that I watched Jaws as a child, and it near traumatized me, but has always been my favorite movie. I was fascinated by the shark as a child.
Your reaction to this movie screams "Tell me you're a Land Locked Texas Desert Dwellers without telling me that directly." I mean I am an Albertan Land Locked Dweller. But I would love to go under the sea, in a well constructed submersible. I am glad you had fun with the movie. It's a Good Cheesey movie.
Megladon was a shallow water hunter so we would know if it was still around and it could not survive as a deep sea shark. The cooling of the planet caused almost all sea life to go extinct including Megaladon.
H.p Lovecraft also had a fear of the ocean, that fear influenced him in his Cthulhu and Dagon stories. Without a doubt the ocean is a terrifying place.
I love Twister... So I watched Titanic as kid and for years I didn't go on any boat... I feared it co much a got in panic mood everytime someone even talked to go on to boat etc.
My tense moment was whether Pippin was going to get eaten or not. 🐶🦈. I do look forward to seeing the sequel. Makes me wonder if Pippin will make a cameo since he’s on one of the movie posters.
"It's unbreakable, specifically designed for sharks." Maybe 2cm thick. With like 2mm wire grid on top. What were you thinking. You would need at least 1m or more if you want to stop that shark.

"Pippen" is a nod at "Pippit", the Black stick fetching dog in Jaws... there are a handful of nods to Jaws in The Meg

Fun film! The Novel was superior, but they made a great action film. Already have my ticket to see Meg 2 this Thursday night.
Truth. The explanation for how it got to the surface was WAY cooler in the book.
I read that in the late 90's, WHILE at sea on an aircraft carrier. Read it in one day. Couldn't put it down.

@@bighuge1060 After I read the book I was pretty disappointed with the movie. Wish they had followed the book more.
do you mean the book for jaws or the book for the meg?
@@lasfrxsas5764The Meg. There's actually a series and they're all really good reads.
4:42 "... i'm usually just uncomfortable as a baseline." 😆
It's great. A lot of fun. Definitely looking forward to the sequel. Stath v Meg: Round 2. 😁
I love ocean monster movies. Used to have a lot of them in the 80s-90s. I highly recommend Deep rising (1998).
It has always surprised me that Deep Rising hasn't become more of a cult film since it's release. I saw it in theaters when it released and was shocked by how enjoyable and fun it was. Hope the Mr. and Mrs. get around to checking it out. I was the same when I was a kid, watching Deep Star Six, and Leviathan often.
When the doctor admits he was wrong, I like to imagine he was talking about the puncture just missing her liver, because it's not even in the correct quadrant of the torso. But I guess he's a better doctor than their navigator because the Mariana Trench is about 3000 miles from where they say it is.
The ocean really is absolutely horrifying, I don’t even like swimming when I can’t see what’s under me, no way in hell would I ever do this lol
Despite Mrs. Movies always assuming things are cannibals or demons, she's -very- good at guessing the plot of things. :)
the Megaladon WAS real it's not a question of IF. They went extinct many years ago.
23:54 the tube/cage that is designed not to break...there is a flaw in that they didn't consider...perhaps one that break might ACTUALLY be safer.

The dog was named pippin the same name as the dog from Jaws that got eaten. And yes the young boy and his mom were a Jaws reference also
We've gotten some great animal type movies lately between The Shallow, Crawl, The Meg, now the Meg 2. And some B horror ones. Excited for more.
I sometimes use his line from the beginning of the movie when someone asks me to cover their on-call shift.

her brain stopped!!!!
Ironically im afraid of spiders but arachnophobia is one of my favorite movies

I’m genuinely convinced they bought the rights to the books just so they could do the “fin” joke at the end!

No one ever notices that the name of the little dog is the same name of the dog in Jaws that got eaten before the little boy did :D
When the Meg approached the beach, it basically saw a giant bowl of Fruit Loops.
The Reef is a great “stranded”open ocean flick with a terrifying scene that will keep me out of the ocean forever!
34:33 Fun Fact: The second death in "Jaws" was a dog. The dog's name was Pippin.

Pippen is the name of the dog that goes missing in Jaws
The ocean is both terrifying and fascinating.
I grew up in Oklahoma and later moved to New England, where I learned to scuba dive. I've experienced tornadoes AND diving with sharks in the Florida Keys.

One of those shark sticks that use a 12 ga shotgun shell will level the playing field. That will kill a great white.
I saw this in 4D in the theater which meant every time the Meg attacked above water I got sprayed in the face with water.
I enjoyed it, the sequel, The Trench comes out this Friday.
I am terrified by Spiders…. But I absolutely love to watch Arachnophobia 😆
At the start when the Sub explodes with the people inside who they're trying to rescue? You seemed to think it was because it was a nuclear sub it exploded.
What actually happened is THAT is probably the best movie representation I've seen of a implosion (like what happened recently with the submersible). The huge pressures involved at that depth cause the air inside the submarine to heat up to massive temperatures which is why you see what looks like an explosion.
Also when you get down to the kind of depths they were at in the first half of the movie aquatic animals actually evolve to not even HAVE eyes a lot of the time!
That's not what happens. At all. During an implosion, the hull gets crushed and ruptured, so it's no longer watertight and pressurized. Therefore, the air inside it cannot compress and heat up. It just escapes through all the cracks. That's it. No explosions. No weird stuff or speculation. It's a fact. We know what happens.
What you describe is nothing more than an urban myth. A silly one too. Something that somebody came up with to make it more dramatic and for whatever reason some silly people keep repeating.
As for the the explosion you see here, let's just say it's either than silly myth or if you want realism, let's say it's the torpedo fuel. If that was a European submarine i'd say it might have even been hydrogen igniting.
Sorry for pooping your party.
Oh and the submersible simply fell apart because it was badly made. The hull cracked, as reported by the crew itself during their last transmission and by the Navy. In fact they have recovered large parts of it. No scorching or any of that silly BS.
Sudden change in pressure completely destroyed the bodies too. Stop believing in myths.
What about animals that have evolved to deal with those kinds of pressure? Would it be able to survive near the surface?
Theres a cool scene in the movie Underwater where the characters are in pressurized suits at the bottom of the ocean, and one of them implodes after his helmet starts to crack. Realistic or not it was pretty gnarly
@@hulkslayer626 Not likely given the huge pressure difference, however some animals can survive significant pressure changes, notably certain types of Whales such as Sperm whales, which dive to very low depths to hunt Giant Squid.
If you want to see what a animal from the bottom of the ocean would look like at the surface, you only have to look at the very famous Blobfish. The common picture of a Blobfish you'll see is at the surface, which means it's at much less pressure then it's used to, and would look very different to how it would at depth.
MRS. MOVIE'S NEW TITLE IS STATER OF THE OBVIOUS. ❤❤❤ ( makes my day how she predicts things )
"too soon, too soon" 😢😂😂
Better than Jaws? You’re elevated ma’am.
Killing it from the inside is actually how he does it in the book.
There is a shark movie called ”Bait” that very few people seems to have watched. It’s Austrialian and one of my favourite shark movies.
Just imagine though the shark that they killed at the end of this movie wasn't even the real Meg, this was like the child because Meg 2 is coming out so clearly either a the shark that killed isn't really dead or that was the smaller one
We know more about space than we do our own oceans. Hell I wouldn't be surprised that if aliens ever do visit? They'd come from the ocean
Not glass it's acyclic that is used in sea aquarium to keep sharks, and killer wales. Also space station windows.
There was Jaws and Jaws. 3. Then there's Shark Night. Next Frantic and the Shallows. And finally, The Meg mine biggest favourable shark movie so far. You said that sharks are your biggest fear. So that makes her number 2 scariest horror in your life. Hahahahaha!!!!
How had Mrs. Movies not killed Mr. Movies yet? She is the butt of all of his jokes!
Thats true love right there!
At the end instead of saying the end it says "fin" which means the end in spanish but also means the shark's fin.
The Shallows is my second favourite shark film behind Jaws obviously
I also have had the Shark in the Simming Pool nightmare a few times as well.... but i had never seen Jaws films though when i had those nightmares 🤔to be honest i think seeing in person as a child of a feeding of a massive Cow leg to a shark and my dad saying you know the shark is basically in a massive swimming pool is the cause for said shark in a pool nightmare.
YES! I am just like your husband, in that I watched Jaws as a child, and it near traumatized me, but has always been my favorite movie. I was fascinated by the shark as a child.
Octopi don't have ink, squid's do.
Your reaction to this movie screams "Tell me you're a Land Locked Texas Desert Dwellers without telling me that directly."
I mean I am an Albertan Land Locked Dweller. But I would love to go under the sea, in a well constructed submersible.
I am glad you had fun with the movie. It's a Good Cheesey movie.
You would think the minisubs' lights would have simple on/off switches . . .
I watched The Howling as a kid, and since then, I have had issues with werewolves.
Megladon was a shallow water hunter so we would know if it was still around and it could not survive as a deep sea shark. The cooling of the planet caused almost all sea life to go extinct including Megaladon.
Fun fact, Jason Statham was a former Olympic swimmer
I never noticed that the dogs in Jaws and The Meg have the same name.
H.p Lovecraft also had a fear of the ocean, that fear influenced him in his Cthulhu and Dagon stories.
Without a doubt the ocean is a terrifying place.
Love all the tributes to all the shark movies in this! 😃
I love Twister... So I watched Titanic as kid and for years I didn't go on any boat... I feared it co much a got in panic mood everytime someone even talked to go on to boat etc.
My tense moment was whether Pippin was going to get eaten or not. 🐶🦈. I do look forward to seeing the sequel. Makes me wonder if Pippin will make a cameo since he’s on one of the movie posters.
30:44 Best moment EVER!!!!
"It's unbreakable, specifically designed for sharks." Maybe 2cm thick. With like 2mm wire grid on top. What were you thinking. You would need at least 1m or more if you want to stop that shark.
I am excited for the sequel and the scariest part of the movie was when the little girl was playing with her toy when the Meg came and bit the glass 🦈
