Shark Attack is a 1999 television film directed by Bob Misiorowski and starring Casper Van Dien and Ernie Hudson. The film is about a marine biologist that searches for some answers about the shark that killed one of his friends.

The film was notable for a realistic death scene featuring an attack on a scantily clad woman with a boombox on her shoulders. The vibration of the music from her Argos branded boombox attracted a great white shark, which ultimately bit off her leg.

A doctor on examining her leg delivered the dramatic line "She will never walk again", but viewers were later treated to the sight of the still attached leg under her sarong.

The film was followed by two direct-to-video sequels, Shark Attack 2 in 2001, and Shark Attack 3: Megalodon in 2002.
