Notes[]
- Unlike most other Syfy original movies, there were never any complete views of the monster Hammerhead. Although, there were quick scenes using CGI graphics while the rest of the scenes used a costume portrayed by Anton Argirov.
- The monster in the film shares a similarity with the monster from the other Syfy original film Mansquito. Both films were released in 2005 and both films involve half-animal mutated monsters. Another similarity that the film shares with Mansquito is that the film is also known as "Sharkman" and had another DVD cover designed featuring a blue man with a mouth full of shark-like teeth and a shark-like nose. The text of the Sharkman DVD was the same style as the Mansquito DVD of which is also known as "Mosquito Man" just like Hammerhead: Shark Frenzy is known as Sharkman.
