Hilarious subtitle

In the film's climax, as the shark approaches Brody, one of the girls shouts "Get outta the way!" and a guy yells "He's coming!" Then, you hear another guy say "C'mon Chief, don't do it!" The subtitle for that last one is "He's gonna take hold of the wood!"

Now, I don't claim to have perfect hearing, but it's pretty clear what the guy says. "He's gonna take hold of the wood" doesn't even make sense at that moment 

If anyone has the Blu-ray (which looks and sounds great), give the finale a listen and put on the subtitles. It'll give you a chuckle I'm sure.

I keep my Netlfix subtitles on. i, too, was curious about that line when I saw it on the screen. I thought maybe a Korean studio wrote the dialogue or something, and 'eat the paddle' was roughly translated to 'take the wood' or something

I couldn't believe when I read his filmography that he played a toilet (no joke) in According to Jim
