- The film’s heroine Zhang Suyin was originally planned to be starred by Fan Bingbing, but Fan Bingbing chose to withdraw from the "Megatooth" crew because he could not coordinate to go abroad for filming.
- Actor Li Bingbing was afraid of water, so he refused the offer of Megalodon when filming "Mystery Nest" in Australia.
- In the New Zealand studio, the crew made a huge shark head model for filming, and its big mouth can almost fit four or five people.
- Li Bingbing plays the role of a scientist in the film, overcoming his inner fear and physical discomfort during the filming. During the underwater scenes, he was very unwell due to holding his breath several times.
- Film photographers also face great challenges in the process of underwater shooting. Because in the underwater environment, it is difficult to control the composition of the scene to the color and light, and it is difficult to complete the work without experience and ability. Therefore, director Joe Det Durbar specially invited Tom Stern to be the director of photography for the film.
- The film Megalodon made a few small tributes to Steven Spielberg's "Jaws". There are dogs in both movies, and they are both called by the same name.

A decent monster horror movie. The story, plot, and rhythm are all okay, the special effects are good, and the shark is fierce. The most interesting scene is at the end of the shark swimming into my South China Sea bathing beach to feed, triggering the spectacle of scrambled to cross and startled a beach of gulls and herons, which has a special sense of joy. As the director of "National Treasure", this film is too unambitious and pursuit: basically it is made into a modern deep-sea version according to "Jaws". There are piles of bugs in science, and it's really not that particular about it: if you go down in the 10,000-meter deep sea, go down and come up if you talk about it. Is the protagonist not a decompression superman? Big sharks live in the 10,000-meter-deep sea and never come up. What do they eat? The ancient megalodon lived by eating? Where are there so many large fish in the deep sea? The film's sense of technology and imagination is not good either. Is it still the old three of poison, GPS and explosives? In the co-production film, it is considered a general, it is basically OK, it is not very embarrassing, but the scenes of Chinese characters are still a bit awkward, especially the emotional scene between Jason Statham and Li Bingbing, it is still the way of Asian beauties falling in love with white tough guys. Finally, the best performance in this film is Ruby Rose and the Chinese girl.

Only when I got to Sanya Beach did I really have the feeling of some disaster films. The several crises in the front part were scattered and dull, and there was no progressive progression of tension. Except for the fighting power, there were not many depictions of the megalodon, and the audience could not devote more emotions. The love scene is embarrassing, but Li Bingbing is still very beautiful

Jonas Taylor: It's a megalodon.
Dr. Minway Zhang: Impossible.
Jonas Taylor: So glad I'm not crazy.

Suyin: You couldn't bring Toshi back? Why not?
Jonas Taylor: He closed the hatch. He saved us.
Suyin: You left him. You left him because that's who you are. You are the guy who leaves people behind.
Jonas Taylor: You go that deep, you take your life in your hands. It was your choice to send them down.
