Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })A 2011 science fiction action film directed by Fred Olen Ray.An offshore drilling accident releases a giant primordial shark. When the shark flies and walks on land threatening to turn a bikini contest into a bloodbath, marine biologist Kat Carmichael (Sarah Lieving) arrives to destroy the shark and save beach-goers. Her efforts are stymied by corporate bad guy Roger Wade (John Schneider) and his flunky Stewart (Jerry Lacy) who are only interested in their own agenda of money, money, money. With time running out for beach loving humans, Carmichael recruits heroic skipper Chuck (Tim Abell) and fearless disc jockey Dynamite Stevens (Jimmie Walker) to help her blast the blood thirsty shark back to a watery grave.The film got a very negative reception, holding a rating of 2.5/10 on IMDb and a score of 27% on Rotten Tomatoes, based on 85 user reviews. It also got some infamy for being placed at the "top" of James Rolfe's 40 Worst Shark Movies list. note  Later extended into a Top 50 list. Super Shark remained the #1 pick. However, Sarah Lieving did still manage to win a Best Rising B Actress award at the 2012 B-Movie Film Festival for her performance.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })The film also has its own funky music video. It's about as insane as you would expect.

Beta Couple: Almost Inverted. Kat and Chuck get along pretty well from the beginning m, developing their relationship slowly and positively. Meanwhile, the closest we get to a Beta Couple is a drama-filled Love Triangle which is never properly resolved as all three participants are devoured halfway through the film.

The Sole Survivor also does not tell anybody except Kate about the giant shark in the hopes of Averting this, worried that he’ll be sent to the looney bin otherwise. He even tries to pass off his story as a joke to Kate when she initially appears to have her doubts about it.

Achilles' Heel: One of the soldiers manage to briefly drive Super Shark back into the water using a flame thrower, which is the first time the shark shows a weakness against anything!

Action Girl: One of the bikini contest winners at least tries to fight off Super Shark with a beach umbrella, but gets eaten for her troubles. Kat is a more straightforward example, after Taking a Level in Badass.
