Okay people, have you seen this one? Check out the trailer for a movie with the unlikely name of Mega Shark vs. Giant Octopus. Make sure you watch to the very last scene…I think you’ll know which one I mean when you see it:
Yeah, that’s right. The one where the mega shark jumps out of the water and eats an airplane. Oh, and the one where the mega shark bites the Golden Gate Bridge ain’t no slouch either.
There is a lot here that reminds me of Snakes on a Plane: the cheesy subject matter, the awesome title that leaves no doubt who this movie is intended for, the pre-movie Internet hype, etc. Just substitute The Renegade himself, Mr. Lorenzo Lamas, for Samuel L. Jackson and you have a movie. I’d guess that this was all intentional in an attempt to try to replicate what Snakes on a Plane had and try to get more money out of a cheaply made movie. But you know what? I don’t care! Intentional or not, cheesy or not, I can’t miss a movie with a title like that. In full disclosure, this is perfectly the type of movie I like to begin with, so it’s not like they had to do much convincing on my part.
According to the IMDB page, this movie is going to be released in 5 days, so they may have started their hype machine a little late, but I’m going to do my part to get the word out there!
