    Storyline

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      In Caribbean legend, there is a half shark-half octopus monster known as the Lusca.
    • Goofs
      The Sharktopus has tentacles in place of a shark's tail fin. An octopus swims using a siphon under its head, not with its tentacles (which are for crawling on the ocean floor). The Sharktopus therefore lacks a means of propulsion through the water.
    • Quotes

      Captain Jack: Attention all hands. This is your captain speaking. We're getting more reports of this half shark, half octopus creature that's terrorizing the coast, but please don't panic. There is a way we can stop this thing. Virgin sacrifices. Yes, the Mexican Fish and Game Commission assures me the only way to appease this beast is to offer it a beautiful virgin, preferably 18 to 25 years old. I repeat - sharktopus wants our virgins.

    Best part of this movie - The title
    Saw this with beers and expected to laugh at the whole thing, but this was below all. I'm not sure why they made it in the first part...

    The name of the movie is really the best part of it all. Period.

    The effects are extremely unrealistic and there's no feel at all, as soon as the sharktopus shows up it's so detached from the environment to the point it feels like watching a cartoon blended with live characters or vice versa - in other words... too damn noticeable! Imagine a cartoon shark in a shark movie, would that put you off? If yes: Don't see this.

    Not to mention the poor bloopers in it (aside from the sharktopus), there are a lot of mistakes all the time that also made me disconnect from the "story". This is a piece of CRAP!
