Never Split the Party | |
| The Deep (1977) / int_15adb9a8 | comment |
Never Split the Party: Gail gets some flak over how she first dives into a sunken ship (which David yells at her for — as well as he can underwater, at least), then wanders away from him to explore, violating the buddy system. The result? She nearly loses her arm and drowns when attacked by a moray eel. | |

Adaptational Villainy | |
| The Deep (1977) / int_20f689e9 | comment |
Adaptational Villainy: Coffin is only a Bitch in Sheep's Clothing in the film. In the book he is a dependable ally with fatherly feelings toward Treece. | |

Bitch in Sheep's Clothing | |
| The Deep (1977) / int_2764d432 | comment |
Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: Henri "Cloche" Bondurant introduces himself in a polite and gracious way while offering to buy an artifact David and Gail found for supposedly harmless reasons. When they decline to deal with him, he has them kidnapped, threatens to cut David's tongue out, and subjects Gail to a Shameful Strip. Coffin is introduced as a kindly old sea dog who is fairly tranquil about working a menial job, happily provides the main trio with information about the Goliath, and says he wants to recover the bodies of his dead shipmates onboard the wreck. Once he actually starts working with the main trio, it becomes clear that he's willing to betray and endanger them for the valuable morphine in the cargo hold. | |

| The Deep (1977) / int_3fe2b13f | comment |
Ungrateful Bastard: Treece saved Coffin's life when he "washed up on the beach" after the Goliath sunk, but Cofflin is willing to betray and endanger him during the treasure hunt. | |

Sexy Soaked Shirt | |
| The Deep (1977) / int_47b152f9 | comment |
Sexy Soaked Shirt: One of the most iconic examples ever, courtesy Jacqueline Bisset going diving in a T-shirt. With no bra underneath. The poster above is actually rather tame in comparison to the opening scene of the film, which is nearly nine minutes long and features extended shots of Bisset swimming around underwater in said T-shirt. | |

Have You Told Anyone Else? | |
| The Deep (1977) / int_60492b98 | comment |
Have You Told Anyone Else?: When salty treasure hunter Treece finds out that David and Gail have found a wreck he's heavily interested in, he asks who else knows about it. After a moment's pause, they truthfully reply that a local man named Bondurant has approached them about the wreck. However, it quickly becomes clear that Treece is a hero (or at least an Anti-Hero) and Bondurant is a ruthless crime lord. | |

Spared by the Adaptation | |
| The Deep (1977) / int_7453bc5b | comment |
Spared by the Adaptation: In the book, Treece loads his boat with explosives and rams Cloche’s boat after the salvage job, killing both men. In the film, Cloche dies earlier, in the underwater fight, and Treece survives. | |

Silence Is Golden | |

Silence Is Golden: The opening scene, where David and Gail are diving around the wreck and finding various artifacts, and Gail is going down in history as the all-time champion of Sexy Soaked Shirt, runs nearly nine minutes without any dialogue. | |

Shameful Strip: As if giving her a Pervy Patdown wasn't bad enough, Cloche makes Gail remove her white button-down shirt. And the bikini top she was wearing under it. | |

Ms. Fanservice | |
| The Deep (1977) / int_b032e4ed | comment |
Ms. Fanservice: Jacqueline Bisset as Gail hits pretty much every trope on the list, from Navel-Deep Neckline to Toplessness from the Back, with assorted stops at bared midriffs, Leg Focus, and most famously, Sexy Soaked Shirt (see below). | |

Everyone Has Standards: Coffin isn't a very reliable ally, but he looks shocked when he sees Bondurant's men chumming the waters so that sharks will endanger the three main characters during their diving trip. | |

Composite Character: Cloche has a slightly expanded presence and his role envelops those of minor book villains like the man who tries to buy the first vial of morphine and the diver who is killed by a moray eel. | |
