DAY OF THE DOLPHIN:



How exactly was that supposed to work?

I don't know how it's supposed to work, but can anyone here honestly look at that poster and NOT want to see that movie?

It is not in the file! It is not!

From the SyFy files, I'll add MegaPiranha. Tiffany and her fellow "scientists" try to create a food source to feed the starving people of South America by genetically altering a group of piranha so that they never stop growing, absorb nutrients through skin so thick that it can withstand a nuclear blast (so that they can grow whether they eat or not), and can survive in salt water. If you were going to experiment on animals with this goal in mind, why on Earth would you use piranhas? They are not a food fish, nor are they so plentiful that they are readily accessible. But I guess killer tuna wouldn't draw as many viewers (although I'd probably watch that  ).

I saw that movie when it was first released and I still don't know how it was supposed to work.

Technically, he only trained it to understand English and even speak it a little. Then the military took the dolphin and trained it to carry a "ball" that could be attached to the hull of a boat. Naturally, the ball becomes a bomb after training.

I bought this DVD.

How about THE SUCKLING (1990), where an aborted fetus is flushed down a toilet and mutates into a monster in the sewer?  Now that's a movie to reckon with!

So the real threats in a sewer are not alligators but fetuses?  Wow, you learn something new all the time.

And that goes for dogs, cats, and sharks. I say, work on power armor with a limited A.I. It can't turn on you if it can't think for it's self.

For some reason every time I see the title of this thread I think it says "Craziest Reasons for Killer Clown Creation."

The Food O The Gods-"the Lord give it to us cause we"re deserving people and we pray regular"
The found the substance bubbling up out of the ground looking like it had been thrown up already-after they found out it wasn't oil they tried feeding to the animals who wouldn't touch it til they mixed it with their food

Zaat - 'the attack of the walking catfish'???  Wow, I had no idea that even existed!

Of course, Alligator (1980) is based on the old chestnut of something flushed down the toilet.  The alligator fed on the bodies of animals that had been pumped with growth hormone or something and grew to gargantuan proportions.  I remember watching that movie at a friend's birthday sleepover when I was 12 or 13, and even then we thought it was hilarious.
