Hey guys, welcome to a new column here on YDKS Movies entitled Speech of the Week! For now on, every Monday I will post a new scene from a movie that features a speech of some sort being given. After all, there are a lot of famous scenes in film where characters give an influential speech of some sort. Then again, there are also a lot of scenes where characters give a speech and it just comes off cheesy and lame. In this section, you will see both kinds. That's right, people, I'm giving you the good and bad of film speeches all wrapped up in one great big package. I hope you all enjoy.
This week's speech definitely falls into the bad movie category. However, I'm felling sick today so I need something like this to cheer me up. Deep Blue Sea is a terrible movie. On the other hand, it is also one of the most entertaining movies you'll see. Let's face it- this thing is pretty much hilarious. It's a B-movie and it definitely does not try to hide it.
In this scene, Samuel L. Jackson gives an epic, moving speech only to be eaten by a giant, fake looking shark right in the middle of it. Nope, I'm not making that up- it actually happens. And it's awesome. Enjoy below.
How great was that? Here's a full transcript of the speech for your full enjoyment:
"Enough! That's enough now, from all of you! You think water's fast? You should see ice. It moves like it has a mind. Like it knows it killed the world once -- it got a taste for murder. When the avalanche came, it took us a week to climb out. And somewhere, we lost hope. Now I don't know exactly when we turned on each other, I just know that seven of us survived the slide... and only five made it out. Now we took an oath that I'm breaking now. Swore that we said 'twas the snow that killed the other two. But it wasn't. Nature can be lethal, but it doesn't hold a candle to man. Now you've seen how bad things can get and how quick they can get that way. Well, they can get a whole lot worse! So we're not going to fight anymore! We're going to pull together and we're going to find a way to get outta here! First, we're gonna seal off this--") - after which he was shockingly grabbed, crunched, and split in half by a superintelligent shark

What an amazing speech.
My hat is like a shark's fin. Anybody remember the theme song by LL Cool J? I may be alone here.
You are alone. But man do I love you for it.
Here's a link to the video. Everyone must watch it.
SUCH a good movie theme song.
