Gubaba Posted May 18, 2009 Posted May 18, 2009 Wow...The Asylum has gone viral. The trailer for Mega Shark vs. Giant Octopus has scored over a million hits on MTV.com and on YouTube this past week. But with all the hype it's generated, will it just fizzle like Snakes on a Plane? No, it'll fizzle just like Snakes on a Train...
reddsun1 Posted May 18, 2009 Posted May 18, 2009 LOL, that Justin Timberlake look-alike was so bad he was funny. No, seriously--the guys who made this utter shite should be ceremoniously bludgeoned to death, with old movie reel canisters containing the collective works of Ed Wood and Roger Corman...
Beltane70 Posted May 18, 2009 Posted May 18, 2009 Deborah Gibson?! Talk about someone's career taking a turn for the worse!
areaseven Posted May 18, 2009 Posted May 18, 2009 Deborah Gibson?! Talk about someone's career taking a turn for the worse! I guess the money she got for her disastrous Playboy stint wasn't enough to pay the mortgage.
Wanzerfan Posted May 20, 2009 Posted May 20, 2009 Deborah Gibson?! Talk about someone's career taking a turn for the worse! Looks like Lorenzo Lamas' career didn't fare so well, either.
taksraven Posted May 21, 2009 Posted May 21, 2009 I guess the money she got for her disastrous Playboy stint wasn't enough to pay the mortgage. Both Debbie Gibson AND Tiffany were huge rip-off merchants. They should have done their playboy at their peak, not the 40+ stage. In fact, Bill Hicks had the right idea about what those girls should have done and thats all I am saying on the matter. Taksraven
taksraven Posted May 21, 2009 Posted May 21, 2009 Supernova was a godawful film too. Dunno about it being the worst ever, but it really sucked. Taksraven
anime52k8 Posted May 21, 2009 Posted May 21, 2009 Supernova was a godawful film too. Dunno about it being the worst ever, but it really sucked. Taksraven Supernova was actually not that bad. actually the theatrical version where Francis Ford Coppola went in and butchered it was crap. the director's cut of the film was much better.
areaseven Posted May 21, 2009 Posted May 21, 2009 After seeing that 747 clip, I'm tempted to remove Mega Shark vs. Giant Octopus from the list of worst sci-fi films. Unlike The Asylum's other works, which are simply garbage, Mega Shark is actually a bad movie you'd want to keep.
Gubaba Posted May 21, 2009 Posted May 21, 2009 Both Debbie Gibson AND Tiffany were huge rip-off merchants. They should have done their playboy at their peak, not the 40+ stage. That would've been illegal.

Hey, leave Roger Corman alone. Death Race 2000 is one of the best dystopian future movies of the 70s. Graham
Graham Posted May 21, 2009 Posted May 21, 2009 Heh, I've gotta see that movie, the Youtube clip is hilarious. Graham
areaseven Posted May 21, 2009 Posted May 21, 2009 (edited) Someone's already uploaded the whole Mega Shark vs. Giant Octopus movie on YouTube. Don't know how long it'll be online before The Asylum will actually threaten to take it down. Mega Shark vs. Giant Octopus Edited May 21, 2009 by areaseven

That's why those would make the perfect symbolic instruments of death for whoever made that shark vs octopus crap. *best Beavis voice* The streets will run red with the blood of the infidels!!! *ungh heh heh, heh* Edited May 21, 2009 by reddsun1
reddsun1 Posted May 21, 2009 Posted May 21, 2009 Don't know how long it'll be online before The Asylum will actually threaten to take it down. HAH!!! What? are they afraid this'll actually cut into their profits or something?!?
Bowen Posted May 21, 2009 Posted May 21, 2009 (edited) Someone's already uploaded the whole Mega Shark vs. Giant Octopus movie on YouTube. Don't know how long it'll be online before The Asylum will actually threaten to take it down. Mega Shark vs. Giant Octopus And a little plot summary from Wikipedia: Off the coast of Alaska, oceanographer Emma McNeil (Deborah Gibson) is aboard a submarine studying whales when, without warning, a sonic device dropped from a military helicopter awakens a Megalodon (a gigantic shark) and a Giant Octopus from their 10-million-year slumber. In no time at all, both creatures wreak havoc all over the ocean, terrorizing oil platforms and mutilating whales on their way. The Megalodon destroys the Golden Gate Bridge and even devours a 747 airliner from several thousands of feet in the sky. When several attempts at stopping both creatures from inflicting further damage fail, McNeil, Professor Lamar Sanders (Sean Lawlor) and Japanese scientist Dr. Seiji Shimada (Vic Chao) decide that the only way to stop the mayhem is to have the Megalodon and the Giant Octopus fight each other to the death. Allan Baxter (Lorenzo Lamas), a veteran commando, is assigned to lure both creatures out of civilization and stage their "Thrilla in Manila." In the end of their undersea showdown, the Giant Octopus kills the Megalodon and they both sink, never to be seen again. EDIT: F'ing hell that's a SPOILER! Some of us actually wanted to watch this crud you know! Edited May 21, 2009 by Dangard Ace
Kelsain Posted May 21, 2009 Posted May 21, 2009 Even when I first heard about this flick on Pharyngula, I said "Hells yeah!" Now I see it has Debbie Gibson & Lorenzo Lamas!! All it needs now is the "Chairman" from Iron Chef America and it's gold!!1!

areaseven Posted May 22, 2009 Posted May 22, 2009 EDIT: F'ing hell that's a SPOILER! Some of us actually wanted to watch this crud you know! Oh, that's not the half of it... From Wikipedia: Following the buzz generated by the release of the film's trailer, Gibson hinted on an interview that a sequel may be in the works. "Because God knows what else is in the ocean, she said. "I thought maybe a seahorse? Maybe a 500-foot lobster would be good. But yes, there is the potential for a sequel, and I would absolutely love it."
Graham Posted May 22, 2009 Posted May 22, 2009 Yeah, the movie would've been fun with Mark Dacascos. He does have a movie with The Asylum, though. I Am Ωmega Trailer Heh, I thought that trailer looked pretty good actually. Graham

areaseven Posted May 22, 2009 Posted May 22, 2009 Oh, have the mighty fallen. If only William Katt had brought his red suit with him in this film... AVH: Alien vs. Hunter Watch the movie here, if you dare.

areaseven Posted May 25, 2009 Posted May 25, 2009 Any one ever see Mac and me, ruddy terrible It used to be really bad, but over the years, many other films turned out even worse. Just look at The Asylum's catalog, for example.
anime52k8 Posted May 25, 2009 Posted May 25, 2009 Any one ever see Mac and me, ruddy terrible god is the alien in that unintentionally creepy. strait up nightmare fuel.
Gubaba Posted May 25, 2009 Posted May 25, 2009 god is the alien in that unintentionally creepy. strait up nightmare fuel. I dunno...I think Los Neuvos Extraterrestres really gives Mac and Me a run for its money... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6VOeDpZRUko (You have to fast forward to about two and half minutes to get the full effect...)
