- I didn't even make it through Sharknado,
I'm sorry.
I can't even, I can't even discuss that.

Hi, my name is Gill McAndrew,
and I'm a shark dive tender here
at the Long Island Aquarium.
And I'm here to review the accuracy
of five classic shark movies.
Alright, Jaws was, well of course
it's the iconic shark movie.
Did happen back in 1975,
so there was a lot of
knowledge that was not known.
But looking back, they had sharks
ripping apart boats.
- We're gonna need a bigger boat.
- Usually don't need a
bigger boat for a shark.
Most great whites are large animals
and in certain areas of the world,
they do grow quite large.
For this shark, it was
30 feet, 6000 pounds.
That is just not an average
size for a great white shark.
I would say the average size
of a great white would be anywhere
between 14 and 16 feet, as an adult.
As far as shark knowledge goes,
it's really a one fin.
- Get out of the water!
Go!
- I watched half of that
movie and had to turn it off.
Sharks do not have to wait in an ocean
full of fish for one person
to come off of a rock
that they may or may not be on.
Remember, the shark is under the water,
the woman is on the rock.
Shark is not aware that
the woman is on the rock.
He's gonna go find food elsewhere.
Zero fin out of five.
(screaming)
- We would like to come back up now.
(screaming)
- 47 Meters Down was an interesting film.
It was terrifying to know
you were going to suffocate to death.
You were gonna run out of air.
The need for the sharks in the water
just teaming with great whites,
hiding, skulking behind rocks.
It's too ridiculous.
Sharks are interested simply in a meal
but they're not going
to expend tons of energy
waiting for somebody
to come out of a cage.
Just for the excitement,
I would give it three fins out of five.
- We're going to pull together,
and we're gonna find a
way to get out of here.
First, we're gonna seal off this room.
(screaming)
- Deep Blue Sea, I enjoyed it
because of LLCoolJ's
he ate my bird routine.
I thought that was funny.
- You ate my bird.
(explosions)
- But the idea that you
could take mako sharks
and put a chemical in them
to make them humongous and make them wild,
vicious killers, is it's too ridiculous.
Animals programmed for 400 million years
and we're just going to take
and put 'em in a lab and
put a drug in his brain
and he's gonna change
his whole personality.
It's too ridiculous.
I'll give it one fin for LLCoolJ.
Hollywood is not going for accuracy,
they're going for horror.
If I had one message,
respect them as part of nature,
one that keeps the balance
of the ocean in check.
And to remember that we
are far more their predator
than they are ours.
