Goofs

Here are some slight errors that were made in the making of this film.

In the beginning, when Deacon and Weaver are at the old power plant, Weaver is turning the valve to the pipe releasing the toxic sludge underwater and we see he's wearing a hat and a green shirt. But, in the next shot, he is wearing a red shirt with a gray fleese-jacket and the same hat.

Near the ending, after the sharks have attacked the beach, we see a man dragging another man who can't move because his leg had been bitten off by one of the sharks, and his shorts saturated in blood. In the next shot, when a Para-Medic comes in to wrap up his leg with a band to prevent anymore blood flow, there is absolutely no blood on his shorts.
