- 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.

Jonas Taylor: [on radio] Look at the sonar. Let me know what you find.
D'Angelo: So far nothing new, my friend. It just keeps getting worse.

Dr. Minway Zhang: Since 1875 we've all believed the Mariana Trench was the deepest place on Earth. I've had a theory that we think is the bottom might actually be a layer if hydrogen sulfide. Beneath that cloud, and a freezing cold thermocline there could be a completely different world.
Jack Morris: Wow.
Suyin: The Origin is about to see if my father is right. If there is warm water below, that means we're going to be the first to see it.
Jack Morris: And what if you're wrong?
Dr. Minway Zhang: Then you have wasted $1.3 billion.
Jack Morris: [laughs] You're kidding. He's kidding, right?
