That was the best scene of the movie, in my opinion.
Me three! When I mentioned finally watching the movie a couple pages ago in this thread I quoted it lol.
I had that Mega Shark vs. Giant Octopus movie but never watched it and think I might've sold it. Kinda wish I'd given it a whirl. :p Horrendous movies are fun from time to time.
Awesome video, but I couldn't ever see myself watching so many bad movies and am glad the only shark movie I've seen is Jaws (although the original Piranha kinda falls into the sharksploitation/Jaws-ripoff category).
Got it in a 4 or 5 pack with some other Asylum films and a couple public domain ones a couple years ago. Haven't watched it yet. Not impressed with the Asylum movies I have seen though. Their films seem to lack the passion and commitment that make bad monster movies truly fun. Maybe this one is different, it did become a talked about cult hit a little while after it's release. I have my doubts though.
As for what I'm watching I've been on a bit of a
Planet of the Apes binge, seeing the ancillary television programs for the first time. Got through the surprisingly dark and ambitious (for 1970s Saturday Mornings) cartoon series and now about halfway through the short lived live action TV show. Roddy McDowell is still a joy to watch in this, an argument could be made that he's basically the "soul" of the POTA franchise, but it's a shame his character is relegated to sidekick status for the somewhat boring Astronauts. Then again, considering he'd already had to have three cysts surgically removed from his face from spending too much time in the Ape make-up he was probably thankful for the reduced screen time and occasional body double.
The make-up is about on the level of
Battle for the Planet of the Apes, which is to say stiff and bad compared to the earlier movies. But the designs are still beautiful.
It's odd to see the heavily misanthropic and nihilistic world of POTA transformed into family-friendly fair. But some of the episodes are still pretty good and I can see why people who saw it as kids dig the show.
