weirdest

by context movies that are rated out of 10 for how jaw-droppingly derivative they are, how factually good they are, and how entertainingly bad you think about everything if we start From the beginning.

What came out of the door was bucklyow, a trashy Brazilian parody that, as we can see from the poster, is not funny, the beast is a giant cod annoyed that humans keep eating their relatives, so he decides to turn as many as he can in plastic skeletons. the only thing worth knowing is the ending where the townspeople forget to kill the fish before serving it in a banquet which leads to this much better than buckleyow and definitely more fun it's creepy that plays out like jaws only diamond with a bear christopher george is the brody richard jakel the hooper and it's up to joe dorsey to ignore them both as the mayor no need to close the park 40 million viewers didn't seem to care how familiar it was and turned grizzly into the clone of Jaws most lucrative of the era that led many members of the underpaid crew to dismiss winning court cases to executive producer and distributor Edward Montouro, a grisly sequel almost followed the first film in 1983, but the project was almost completely abandoned. it's the producer joseph ford proctor revealed he hadn't raised the funding he claimed and disappeared leaked online an unwatchable print of work is very bad but in 2019 the completion funds were raised maybe thanks to pre-famous charlie sheen, laura dern and george clooney were among the cast and the film finally began limited screenings as Grizzly 2 Revenge in early 2020 before work began on a grisly sequel.

The original movie spawned a couple of its own rip-

offs

. It was as big as the claws of a house. in the markets it was called a grizzly while in Canada it apparently went by grizzly too ironically it feels as incomplete as the bootleg work printed from the official sequel b-e-a-r i didn't believe them science knows how the snow beast has a lot in common with grizzly except that you never see the beast that is a bigfoot the most popular mythical shark in a subgenre that rarely deals with fictional creatures it's ok if you like tv melodrama maybe i'll know it when i see her face she doesn't have one she's too the Bigfoot catch in which a perpetually angry mayor must have been in the sauce again no where the hell is he hires local thugs to catch a man in cozy looking overalls even less effort was put into how the catch sounds thing that in the way it looks.

The first jaw-influenced shark movie was a largely forgotten TV movie and rightly so. The shark's mouth, the jaws of death, tried to provide some balance by painting sharks as victims. It's an evangelical outburst against jaws supposedly written before Benchley's novel and sees Richard Jakel play almost exactly the same character he does in Grizzly, which was released a few weeks earlier. here he is a shark guru who uses telepathic powers and violence to protect the animals from confused fishermen after bears, the most often reviled mammal in early jaws clones as canine dog ogs get heavy on science with two goofballs, one smarmy and one renegade strutting around a college campus trying to make labradors look scary while the dean refuses to make a fuss. their dogs at home at night give me a test funny george weiner plays a lothario it seems our simple handshake has caused an uncontrollable surge of electricity and the movie fourth of july at the beach is a dog show in a backyard toddlers let the kids have a dog the show are you crazy? perhaps more interesting to fans of the genre is the pack writer director robert klaus who brought in the dragon and equally important jim carter jim cutter had some great ideas like introducing characters through their dogs and commenting on animal welfare and environmental pollution by combining. the two problems, both movies have the same problem, although dogs may be a bigger potential threat than rabbits, but at the end of the day they're just dogs, at least they're scarier.

Ants, this whimsical made-for-TV movie features an eclectic cast that includes Barry, son of Dick Van Dyke, Robert Foxworth, Linda Day, George, Bernie, Casey, Brian Dennehy, and Hollywood legend Mirna Loy in one of their final papers would you bring me five more martinis but you overwhelm them with a weak adversary it's the ants i don't know how i don't know why but that's what it is to answer ants not these ants it's the most like a jaw of the many killer bug movies of the time, but while bees can engulf their victims in a cloud of flying ants they can't do anything.

The corridor escape response requires nothing more than working legs, preferably with shoe-toes, because to kill, ants must cover an unconscious or stupid victim almost completely and bite them hundreds of times. water a broom or a slight vigilance will save you from the doom dance not only did brazil beat italy in the jaws cart with a buckle whoop but so did thailand at least that's what one dealer said in English that renowned local kwiki rumbling at the elephant like elephant jaws wanted the Europeans to think it was nothing like Spielberg's movie, but the production company behind it wasn't above stealing from another proto-blockbuster a couple of Years later, Sompot sandpapers the filmmaker behind Thai versions of Ultraman Cayman Rider and Jumbo Gace delivered a genuine Thai Jaws rip-off in the tedious Crocodile second half in particular works as Jaws with Brody Quint and Hooper at sea hunting down the beast until it explodes almost inside the frame in 1980 arenas retrieved its mechanical monster from storage and made another killer crocodile movie that claimed to ause it The presence of sharks in Southeast Asia meant you had to rely on reptiles during the post-jaw killer animal frenzy, but sharks live in Thai coastal waters while crocodiles don't, in terms of rarity, that's the the tip of the iceberg never touch the bird the deep was one of the first mainstream films to try to capitalize on the public's new interest in sharks based on the follow up novel by joel author peter benchley has a lot to do with the Crime and melodrama being cut from the Spielberg film, there are plenty of familiar elements, including Robert Shaw, but it's a moody update of the shark-movie scavenger hunt rather than a jaw-dropping clone and despite a cast of first level, he's too cool and funny to be much fun, same goes for orca who is dead serious despite being as goofy as any oddity in b Underestimated in a foreign language, it's a jaw-dropping reversal in which humans are the monsters and the vengeful. the whale hatch as a plan to blow up their fuel tank apparently the whales have a working knowledge of impact resistance combustion pyrology and industrial safety features while mainstream hollywood failing to engineer a jawbone clone viable, his underbelly kept churning out garbage four disposable disasters worth seeing maybe a barracuda blood beach humanoids from the depths and from the depths barracuda was the first example of jaw splitting to use ma Contamination made by n as a device from the plot and features a dubious medical research facility spewing toxins that spawn hungry fish and angry humans on the beach of blood.

John Saxon takes on a monster we see less than the boom mic and offers not-too-subtle tributes when You Thought It Was Safe To Go Back In The Water. You can't get to him on humanoids from the depths. Everyone over 25 in body warmers and everyone under 25 in bathing suits. I brought that up because there's nothing else to talk about other than the worrisome stuff. huge fan base the undisputed winner of this duel of good evil grudge rises from the depths directed by tarantino favorite charles b griffith the writer who penned little shop of horrors bucket of blood and death race 2000 for roger corman the mix of The film's parody and sincerity belies a lengthy argument between Griffith and Corman with the legendary producer feeling that its auteur should take the job more seriously.

Typically, Corman wanted a thrilling imitation of t The chaotic jaw-hunting scene, but Griffith gave him an army of idiots wielding spears, crossbows, cooking utensils, and a samurai sword. The tropes are gleefully subverted and the calm, rational guy who usually survives to save the day. okay there are so many better characters guys are thankful i got a business proposition before earl if you don't get out of here i'm going to get you killed obviously not every killer animal or shark movie counts as jaw blowing so we should probably define what jaws are and where they come from the original book and movie were influenced by two works in particular henry gibson's play an enemy of the people which we can thank for the tension between keeping the tourists safe and the open beaches and herman melville's moby dick novel that gave us quint in the last third of the story not sure how faithful this version is in terms of movies peter benchley steven spielberg and karl gottlieb the writer who adapted and the benchley's developed script has cited the thing from another world came from outer space the us version of the original godzilla the creature from the lagoon black and king kong had had disaster movies the proto slasher and alfred hitchcock among others the least we can do is provide the right atmosphere the most important elements that contributed to the clean and relentless structure and characters of the film the every man whose warnings they ignore each other the officer who ignores them the grumpy expert with meat the clumsy expert with a title and the beast just an animal doing its thing, the shark in the jaws has no unnatural agenda or personality beyond what we project onto it, the Setting is also key, Martha's Vineyard represented friendship, but it can be contained anywhere and on the edge of the animal's domain, these are just core ingredients.

jawsploitation

is quite specific many animal horror movies have been labeled as scams jaws just from surfing a wave of thematic popularity and more belong to the Nature Strikes Back subgenre that usually traps a cast in the domain of unnatural animals, often motivated by revenge if we're lucky Leslie Nielsen might fight a bear some movies take borrowed just a few little jewels in the white buffalo the wild bill hickok by charles bronsonhe returns west to face his past and find the subject of his nightmares a great white beast rings many bells but it's no scam and neither is the depths of bermuda which, like the white buffalo, presents ghosts, dreams and oddities in a pittance that matches the genre about a giant turtle. the trend of killer animal movies rightfully combined it with the domestic kaiju formula the plot sees a huge pterodactyl egg hatch on mount fuji just as a plesiosaur wakes up in a nearby lake, though it is often described as a jaws clone, it only takes weird elements, like the scene of the panic on the beach caused by kids pulling pranks.

The same goes for Attack of the Killer Tomatoes, which just parodies the weird moment, plus parodies of trash and weirdness, some genuinely great jaws. The clones appeared in the late '70s, often overlooked as the car about a seemingly demonic, driverless custom Lincoln that arrives in a small desert town to feed on the locals. It features all the tropes from the small community to the public event that must go ahead and the fact that the antagonist is a machine rather than a living creature is unrelated. This is Wade. We can't let it go, no matter what. the monster the movie was gutted by critics at the launch ruth bacheler of the los angeles free press writing it's hard to believe eliot silverstein directed blue cat or a man called horse because e in this picture he didn't even direct traffic ok the alligator is another 70s b movie that deserves more attention, robert forster is outstanding as a disillusioned detective investigating the apparent chicago sewer murders your alligator is a very romantic creature and henry silva is hilarious as the arrogant big game hunter called to kill what turns out to be an alligator the beast grew massive eating dogs subjected to bad science but the movie doesn't spend much time moralizing thanks to that already juggling mystery satire horror suspense shlock and even character details i'm fighting baldness of the male fathers i'm a little sensitive on the subject i hope you don't bring it up again i'm coming or a sequel that's really more like a reboot 11 years later and it's good or at least good bad I've always been amused by this cop casually fishing body parts out of a lake in front of a kid now that he ate the bomb can that thing explode at any time even though the appeal is largely ironic? has a strong cast including richard lynch as an alligator hunter we would have been the headstrong world of cuba came out with an army steven spielberg's favorite jaw clone is piranha though i doubt he ever saw ghosts supposedly universal hark wanted to take legal action to prevent Its release presumably before realizing that director Joe Dante and writer John Sayles tweaked and added a fair amount to the formula. the main characters don't really fit the archetypes there is a different backstory an even simpler structure and the whole movie keeps tongue in cheek people eat fish grogan fish don't eat people the impeccable script is directed by the drunken hermit of bradford dillman paul grogan trying to rescue his daughter from a summer camp about to be invaded by military grade piranhas plus dick miller they are lucky to be fed kevin mccarthy barbara steele and paul bartel is the perfect mix of humor and horror. what about the damn piranhas? they're eating the guests sir the follow up is a winner too and not just because the fish can fly now james cameron was supposed to direct the movie but video producer assatas replaced him on set.

Cameron's writing is evident in lead Anna Kimbrough, though she's one of the best conceived and most believable jaw-exploiting brodies. A capable woman who steps up and saves the day almost alone. She goes back there. before dark is even dumber than the first movie, for some reason the original piranha was remade for tv in 1995. Nothing interesting is added to the mix unless you count a young milo kunis or this impersonator of spielberg uh everyone just call me terry and us. just got a watered down retread with softer actors hey cool your squirts honey i didn't ax murder your young mate i can't help you i haven't seen them i haven't seen them or anyone else so thats why i live here in the wild im sorry i cant help it its like watching a cover band rehearse my daughter is down there the piranhas are coming you have to believe me unbelievably its better than the name o only the 2010 remake which, like more recent sharp movies, replaces the jaws template with bad cgi lazy misogyny and this kind of acting: this particular piranha disappeared from the face of the earth over two million years ago right on camera in an even more depressing cameo Richard dreyfuss appears dressed as hooper to embarrass himself double d tracking piranha ok tell me you didn't fire our old lifeguards and replace them with strippers strippers certi Tentacles was a co-production with AIP and features a sleepwalking John Houston strung up on Shelly Winters and completely immobile Henry. fonda on a garbage heap on a giant octopus sets a defiant tone by opening up on baby death and then mixes jaws in movies like they came from under the sea on land it looks great and in the water it's fun what it gives two points about the big alligator in this story of an angry alligator god who eats boats full of extras sergio martino releases native legend disaster movies and barbara barks at us but it's no use and martino's screams aren't one of many movies either b aliens from the late 70s which are often mistakenly believed to be jaw rip-

offs

, some others include killer cyclone shark shark ase but and the shark hunter in which franco nero needs nothing more than a parachute and a knife to validate the film's title director enzo castelleri may have ignored jaws in shark hunter but he made up for it a couple of years later in the last shark.

This is the movie that effectively brought the first jaw-dropping conspiracy era to a close and probably took things a bit too far, even if we ignore some of the counter-legend alternate titles, the notorious Carbon. The copy was initially released in theaters in the US, where it did well until legal intervention by Universal saw it effectively banned for being so original that it may have a higher limit. ed variety of attack techniques, but even the mechanical shark seems to be based on bruce Late home video releases mean there are plenty of ways to watch the latest shark these days, but still no good reason why Piranha 2 and the last shark represent the end of the first.

The double-exploited phase of these kinds of movies got thick and fast in the late '70s, but when The Last Shark garnered adult attention at Universal, the party seemed to be over and for a couple of years jaw-punching lay flat. dead in the water With a few foreign language exceptions from left field, the elevator is a dutch horror about an elevator with a taste for blood, needless to say, it doesn't quite suit jaw-exploiting ammo, but it's surprising how much it manages to borrow in a few months we'll have that fusion with the americans involved that's going to mean more work for everyone this is not the time to pick up trouble trouble the DIY effects and weird dubbing make it undeniably fun mommy when do i get tars? it's when you learn not to talk at the table while we eat better known as turkish jaws the amazing arcan chineet begins as kamal and every man left in shark infested waters for the bad guy doesn't really fit the epithet despite presenting lumps of the score by john williams but the sharks are great and the direction by prolific copy-culture pioneer chetin and arch is as dynamic as ever the best of these international obscurities is the taiwanese kung fu crossover renshi darjang that goes through calamity of snakes in the west and it's part comedy part gold genuinely disturbing reptilian snuff movie no other killer animal movie hates his animals so much he kills a few snakes every day now lives as happily as anyone else his business is good too come have some snake soup thousands of snakes are cut skinned razed and slaughtered on camera and in graphic detail and when they're not being killed people talk about killing them this cobra is going to be sliced ​​to death and you will enjoy it a lot because it will make you very very healthy.

It will make you feel good when he opens it up and gives you the good stuff. We cut the juice. We'll go in and pull out the bladder. The bladder that has the juice that will make you feel healthier than ever now look here we go let's get started right away and you'll never see anything like this again yeah the bladder there it is and a good juice look at it it was a healthy snake look at the Heartbeat, Jaws, Conspiracy's second wind came in the summer of 1984 and among the first interesting movies was Razorback, given that every square inch of Australia is home to something that wants to kill us.

Not surprisingly, the country eventually embraced the genre. But despite selling like jaws on trotters, the story of a murderous boar terrorizing an outback community is more than just a clone. sense of place eight that is only emphasized by some colorful characters something about flying a razorback that brightens up my whole day contrasting with the stern tone of razorback is the absurdity of shark paradise one of the hidden gems of jaw mining unfortunately this TV movie about a Madman luring sharks to the coastal waters of surface paradise has not been released in home format since its 1987 video debut.

The aesthetic of Miami Vice Meets Neighbors is unique and the tone is all over the place. Dr. Baxter, has anyone had access to your research? Killer crocodile Hokum Dark Ages is the closest to the jaws of this Antipadian triptych. The premise involves a dispute between an Aboriginal community and the residents of a neighboring resort town over how to handle the beast that Aboriginal people believe houses the souls of the dead. An interesting concept well executed on the whole, but for many, the main takeaway will be the presence of alf stewart at home and away, who would want to come here on holiday when there is a chance of being eaten by crocodiles soon after the release of hunchback italian exploitation industry returned to jaws conspiracy with devil fish aka red ocean devouring waves jaws attacked two sharks and monster sharks despite not being a shark sergio martino the director of the great caimán co-wrote the script which was written by lamberto barva and anyone familiar with any of the he filmmakers should know what to expect stars the great michael sopkief as an electronics wizard forced to help hunt down a beast that leaves mutilated victims on florida beaches, and it usually turns out that a mischievous scientist has the blame for it all and his inevitable death might just be the best part of the movie.

I wonder which jaws attacked too. One of Devilfish's alternate titles was meant to be a sequel to this nice williams movie that was released as Attack of the Jaws and the Knight of the Shark four years after the devilfish stayed in Italy. Killer Crocodile in its sequel is more derivative but less entertaining despite all the silly crocodile stuff filmed back-to-back in the Dominican Republic. Both movies at least look good, but the highlight is real. it's all you need deep blood it's no better and much more forgettable in fact all you'll probably remember are teenagers thrilling to the images of the ultimate shark a fate that could have fallen upon cruel jaws the jewel in the Italian crown of double exploitation if it were so It's not so funny that this Bruno Mate TV movie, infamously known as Jaws 5 in many territories, was made using the Troll 2 method, in which Italian producers swarm a US town for sardines like the deep blood, it's full of youngsters and the role of the shark seems to be to add to their problems, but unlike the deepbloods, these youngsters are fun, what the per son in charge of you wants you have to know dick brain dick brain brain dead yeah that's how i get over it too dude he steals not just jaws scenes but entire lines of dialogue and all they really know how to do is swim eat and ha cer baby sharks and things not in the movie like this joke liftedtake for take jaws 3.

Don't you know, you dirty little devils, you're polluting the ocean by doing that and the gangster subplot from Benchley's original novel for its own good sadly is? It's not true that the author was unknowingly credited for his contribution, but it's true that he steals footage of jaws, though I'm not brave enough to show it, and much more comes from deep blood and the last shark anyway, including the climactic explosion of the shark appearing. in all three movies, the jawbone score is absent for once, though John Williams is there in spirit every time the Star Wars theme almost happens.

At least it's a movie with a message. Sharks are really bad. h continually insists on the importance of not seeing lobsteroids miss queen there is no other way around it you have to stop the rock you don't understand miss queen thousands of lives could be at stake here is an amateur production about a town infested with killer lobsters during the build up to a music oh i don't care thankfully there are jaws parodies doing things right the blades take place at a country club preparing for the big annual golf tournament but the settings are smooth thanks to the inventiveness with which screenwriter director thomas rondinaya tackles important jawbone scenes like the mass hunt leading to the capture of the wrong beast they even do the autopsy is brilliant and the revealing fifth part monologue interrupted by an attack and a One day management brought in new machines, Japanese machines, oh sure it had a wider cutting radius, but dad didn't care. he spielberg produced arachnophobia is full of jaws jeff daniels and director frank marshall watched the movie repeatedly for inspiration taking brody's fear of water and exaggerating it into the titular phobia it's a really effective movie taut and funny he found one of the offending spiders a couple of hours ago you might have brought it with you actually it's probably still on the sole of my shoe while we're on the subject of spielberg let's take a look at the dual sequels i wanted nothing to do with jaws 2 was a repeat of the first movie with a lot more brody i've had some experience with sharks and it's as redundant as jules 3d it's ridiculous set in an underwater aquarium it focuses on the brody kids now adults and all he has is simon mccorkindale this movie is a fucking retirement annuity on the fact that it ain't jules revenge oh while steven spielberg avoided going back to sea p ether benchley never left the creature that warns of d The wrath of the shark-hybrid men is a television miniseries adapted from his novel of the same name, but it's boring as hell if you want sharp man shlock try hard sharp man now it's over shocking than human if you really want to see a jawbone like the 90s miniseries written by peter benchley then try to make it the exact same thing just with a squid until founders day tomorrow the celebration is worried we had considered canceling it but we decided not to.

Still not very interesting though and the 90s gave so much it's our tank aka Bollywood the jaws the stars the Hindi icon Dharmendra in a tragic love story bad men and worse. sharks it's pretty much what you'd expect which means things like this happen it won't be for everyone but the ending where our hero kills the fish and takes out the villain with a harpoon is amazing as Hollywood and the rest of the world began to lose interest in jaws as a movie model one man kept the flame burning around the turn of the millennium refugee cannon movies avi lerner released the first in what would become a giant wave of low-key killer animal movies budget croco tell was directed by toby hooper and relies on jaws only occasionally in what is a fairly generic movie what story do you have there one aspect it brings up to date is the fate of the ubiquitous pet dog who contrary to the rules of a room century old jaws plot lives today tiny dogs always survive in these kinds of movies back in the days when they were fish food the se sneaks off the jaws to do his thing which yeah the octopus was released around the same time as the crocodile and somehow gets into the cuban missile crisis marine biology russian smugglers an embassy bombing nuclear trash cia agent us navy submariner international terrorist sean connery and for some reason a cruise ship hijacking what is this is your team those things leave little room for the giant octopus and even less for jaws the sequel though answers the question of how it is they would see the jaws if it happened in new york and it was a stupid detective nick hartfield is a badly injured police diver that cott ons about the presence of a giant octopus in the hudson river apparently that storm we had in june brought a lot of water south from near nova scotia and it is possible this creature was dragged inside it is trapped or nesting in the hudson i' not this and sure that giant octopuses are native to Canadian waters.

The urban setting is an improvement over the submarine from the first film and, like Alligator 2, the mutation proves that cities are an underutilized commodity and jaws drop. The acting is better too which makes it feel more like a proper movie, if not quite so proper at its

worst

, the octopus looks like something that should be bothering 1970s Doug McClure and for some reason a six piece from what I'll assume is a mix of archival and stolen material that we needed to blow it up. i didn't edit that there's actually one, two, three, four, five, six different explosions and look at this the final explosion happens in the background of this middle shot of our heroes but they disappear in the middle of the shot again i didn't edit it i just slowed it down to full speed it's easy to miss the brain sees a cut it's presumably a post production error but it's weird weird it's kind of a feature of these movies so let's take a short break the shark himself acknowledges how weird he is dub characters that are underwater with regulators in their mouths, jimbo, are you okay, yeah, I'm okay, dude, yeah, we're okay, ok, it doesn't work like that, jesus, you gotta shut it down? the beach what this thing's funny shark attack may be the only movie franchise in history best known for its third entry but the others are almost as good come on mate the first one sees casper van dien marine biologist investigating the disappearance from a friend just to race ernie hudson bioengineered sharks and some intricacy the acting and dialogue is memorable so you the one who stole my punches and gave it to him and he used it to kill the tour business yeah literally simple economics the more sharks the fewer people first your crazy sharks hit all the fish and kill the fishing now that was beautiful but when the hacker told me about your little thumpers well that was just dubai the first sequel features a different set of characters stumbling around in a cape town aquarium but this time among them is someone attractive are you kidding tv actor thorsten k is brody hooper hybrid dr nic k harris might even let you on my show now excuse me i have to go sign some autographs and he knows exactly how to play the material like this, him talking to you and me, it features a lot more jaws than the first movie and they even try the legendary dolly zoom, you know sharks are evil they must be destroyed get a crocodile Dundee out of my face but the masterpiece of the series. and avilerna's great gift to mankind is shark attack 3 megalodon the last major shark movie good and bad and perhaps the most revered example of such a thing ever made john barrowman stars as harbor patrolman ben carpenter and this is what you have to deal with.

Some of Mr. Tolle's employees said that you were diving near the cable yesterday. something broke through the protective cover and damaged part of the fiber optics. There's a little bit of everything, including actors trying to keep a straight face. We found a guy's leg near a beach where he was playing frisbee with his dog. I've been running non-stop all day, why don't you take a break? Inexplicable plot devices like making everyone jump into the water to escape the shark in the water and the best use of stock footage you'll ever see if you're wondering what that day-for-night print shot deep blood looks like. the answer and then there's this you know i'm really connected what do you say i take you home and eat you because i live in a country where john barrowman became a star i saw him explain this s on a chat show it was a joke to me make her laugh they left it in the fucking movie it's a movie i might let my niece's nephew watch and they always said uncle john goes to why you say i take you home during the early years of the new millennium these flashbacks represented the last Jules Ploytation hit the B-movie cover while also lurking beneath a motley collection of junk that offered conflicting visions for the future of the low-budget shark movie. references, yeah this is going to be better, what was the name of that shark? be the answer someone else wants to play i have more games i think i'm playing with you everything could have been so different a few years before advances in technology seemed poised to unleash era of killer animal movies with money real actors and self-awareness deployed in anaconda and sea deep blue despite working in similar fields the makers of these films mostly rejected dual exploitation sadly this hopped shlock never really took off but occasional echoes hopping around the multiplex while the naughties dressed in theaters became home to thrillers from High mid budget concept with no sense of humor much earlier on the cheap and silly end of the market. -Cheap shark movies can't help themselves and the craze is for goofy references rather than heists, which has made jaws more of a joke than a game plan.

We're going to need a bigger helicopter. Cruel Jules already did. We need a bigger Helicopter This is where I jump ship These things have appeal but they're not heartfelt unlike Cruel Jaws or Shark Attack 3 they're exactly what they're supposed to be so there's no charm or humor in their failure. If you want big, dumb mutant animals, check out the gamma super monster. He has an armored space shark and a rocket-powered turtle. Water ski on a skyscraper-sized killer squid. star wars superheroes anime footage one of these whatever this is a japanese schoolboy playing camptown lady on the electric organ and what else do you want and
