To the untrained eye there appears to be just 33 chapters on this disc, which by any standards would be perfectly acceptable. However, for no apparent reason there is three copies of the film print on this disc and this is nothing to do with the extra languages or commentary track as those are just alternate audio sources on the original film. The last three seem rather odd choices over the usual European langauges. First off is Cast and Crew which is a filmography that lists all the principal actors but only supplies the necessary details for Saffron Burrows, Thomas Jane, Samuel L. Jackson and director Renny Harlin . There are five Deleted Scenes spread out over eight minutes, which, in similar fashion to The Land Girls , can be viewed with or without director's commentary, such as two scenes that tells us that Janice and Jim were originally an item - something completely omitted in the final version and would've suited the film well, unlike the remaining deleted scenes.
Subtitles also appear during the two featurettes.
An animated menu, with the film's creepy score, sets the scene just before a shark gnashes out at you and the options appear to start the film, select a scene, choose a language or watch the extras. Director Harlin can usually be relied upon to make a worthwhile action film, his only big stinker being CutThroat Island with ex-wife Geena Davis , although this balance was restored with The Long Kiss Goodnight which also featured Samuel L. Jackson in a lead role. It's worth noting a couple of things about this film that pay homage to Spielberg 's classic shark-chaser, one being that the number plate trapped in the teeth of one shark here is the same one taken out of the stomach in the 1975 film and the way the final shark's guts explode and fall back to the sea is identical too. It was once rumoured that a remake of Jaws was to be made with a CGI shark, but I'm glad they haven't done that.
