Bull sharks are known to swim 4000km inland (even 1100km in US).
I think you'll find that in the US they've been known to swim about 680 miles inland.
646374.4 Smoots

They don't have to swim that far to get to Cambridge, the only place in the US where they use Smoots.
There are around 8 to 10 major dams or weirs between the ocean and Paris.
They could swam before they have been built, or to paraphrase Jeff Goldblum: "Life, err, finds a way". Are you one of those people who believe dams can protect you from bull sharks? Do you know why faucets have little mesh on the outlet? That's right! Tiny bull sharks could bite your fingers when you wash your hands.
This is so good. I'm already halfway through the screenplay for "Baby Shark". The poster will have someone dangling their finger in water in a sink and a tiny bull shark coming up to bite it.
this is primarily why marijuana is considered so dangerous. letting a pothead into your home will inevitably lead to them taking the aerator screens from your faucets to prevent hot ash from being inhaled during their pursuit of madness. in turn millions of minor finger injuries occur every year. spread awareness!
Sharks only eat like once or twice a week and are very shy creatures, so not much to worry about. You're more likely to be killed by a coconut.
It was a joke about a silly movie premise
That comment might also have been a joke, ironically and intentionally missing the point that perhaps there aren’t that many sharks in the Seine.
Or coconuts.
One could be carried there
Not by a Swallow
It could grip it by the husk
So could a shark
Oh my.

“Based on: An original idea”

I suppose so…

it's entertainment, not science. if it fulfills that purpose then it's good. nothing else required.
I mean, you need some plausibility to the imaginative leap. It can be crazy but as long as it doesn't disturb the audience's suspension of disbelief, you're fine, and that's a strange line.

There's nothing wrong with mocking the premise of this movie; I saw it and it deserves no defense.
