Hey didn't I just have a topic only moments ago about another shark film?  Man, sharks are really in thing in the killer creature circuit!

According to the official description I got from Amazon, it said the following:

QuoteMakes ''Jaws'' look like ''Flipper''!

I haven't seen the film but I call shenanigans on that remark!

QuoteAn offshore drilling accident triggers the release of a giant prehistoric shark.

I saw that film, it was called Megalodon.

QuoteWhen marine biologist Kat Carmichael (Sarah Lieving) arrives, she runs up against corporate front man Roger Wade (John Schneider, ''The Dukes of Hazzard'', ''Smallville'', ''Desperate Housewives''), who plots with Stewart (Jerry Lacy, ''Dark Shadows'') to disrupt her investigation. With the help of Skipper Chuck (Tim Abell, ''Soldier of Fortune, Inc.'') and disc jockey Dynamite Stevens (Jimmie ''JJ'' Walker, ''Good Times''),...

What a cast!

QuoteKat tries to find a way to defeat the monster which has evolved to a state where it can walk on dry land and fly...it's the SUPER SHARK!

The shark can fly?!  Well that is totally new for killer shark films!

So... what you guys think?  Quality film making or another silly CGI shark fest?

Poor John Schneider. He needs a new agent.  :teddyr:

Syfy original? It certainly looks bad enough. And who's the female lead? She definitely looks familiar...

Oh, yes.
I have the audio of this trailer. Listen to it with your eyes closed, and it's still hysterical. :cheers:

I saw the title of this movie and thought "wow, finally - after all of these years of killing people in movies, one shark has finally decided to give back to the world and fight crime as 'Super Shark'", but no luck.  Oh well, at least we had the Street Sharks...

Is this the one with the walking tank?  I know I saw a trailer for a shark film where the giant shark fought a 4-legged tank. 
At least, that's what Gary Busey told me...

Yes, and it looks based on a WW2 Sherman M1A2. Like I said, it's wonderfully insane.

If it's true what they say, that GOD created us in His image, then why should we not love creating, and why should we not continue to do so, as carefully and ethically as we can, on whatever scale we're capable of?

     The choice is simple; refuse to create, and refuse to grow, or build, with care and love.

But does that film have flying sharks in it?  No I tell you!  Just silly old piranhas being bicycle kicked!

While it does look like it could have/should have been a Syfy Original, alas, it was not.  It went straight to DVD.  Still waiting for my copy to arrive.  Amazingly Amazon sold out.

QuoteAnd who's the female lead? She definitely looks familiar...

I think it's Sarah Lieving who was also in Mega Shark vs Crocosaurus (2010).


Take care,

The previous trailer didn't have the walking tank in it.  You've GOT to see the walking tank.   :thumbup:

The piranha don't fly, but they are invulnerable, they can leap tall buildings in a single bound, and they sometimes explode!

They didn't so much "leap tall buildings".  They skewered themselves on them!   :teddyr:
