The problem with this movie is, that there is nothing for nobody there. As you may easily guess, this movie can never be taken seriously as a movie a la Jaws (whose story it completely rips off with addition of the military for good measure), because the budget is too low and the actors aren't up to par. So all you are left with is the kills and the so bad it's good factor. But the movie disappoints on both fronts. The kills are mostly pretty boring and not very fun (also the special effects really aren't great obviously, in fact they are terrible) and the rest of the movie is too well made (relatively speaking of course) to contain much funny stuff. No real laughs or really, really bad cgi or whatever else. The end is clearly the best, since most ridiculous, scene, but not enough to recommend watching the whole movie for it. You see some pretty ladies in bikinis, but I guess that stopped being a reason to recommend a bad movie when the internet started to take hold some 20 years ago.

Two years before the atrocious Sharknado series started, there came this cheaply made and bound-to-be awful straight-to-DVD shark movie, the title made it obvious what to expect, and I had my assumptions of how ridiculous it would be. Basically an oil drilling accident occurs, and beneath the ocean a gigantic primordial shark is released, the shark has evolved due to toxic elements released. The shark has also gained the ability to walk on land, it has developed bulletproof skin and jump high heights in the air, and it is on its way to cause terror in the beaches of Los Angeles, during the summer season when a bikini contest is taking place. Marine biologist Dr. Katherine "Kat" Carmichael (Sarah Lieving) hires drunk captain Skipper Chuck (Tim Abell) to drive her to the oil rig owned by Traymore Industries to investigate the accident, later the sole survivor from the accident mentions the harmful chemicals used to bore through rocks and a shark pulled down the rig. While the super shark attacks a US Navy submarine, and kills the winner and runner- up of the bikini contest, as well as the photographer, Carmichael and Skipper have sees the creature for themselves, they find that it is attracted to radio waves and can disrupt radio reception. Carmichael is fired from her job for harassing oil company executives, she accepts a suitcase full of money to go away, which she accepts, Skipper finds her drunk in a bar, they later get emotionally close, and seek to contact the military to kill the super shark. The military, commanded by Colonel Caldwell (Rick Cramer), lure the super shark to a beach with the help of a boombox, a remote-controlled tank that can walk and jump is unsuccessful in shooting it, but Carmichael lures the shark into a cave on the beach, there she drops a bomb of C-4 explosives into it's mouth, it is blown to pieces, she survives with chunks all over her and temporary deafness. Also starring John Schneider as Roger Wade, Jerry Lacy as Stewart, Ted Monte as Dr. Miller, Trish Cook as Captain Marshall, John L. Curtis as Brody and Kylee Nash as Bikini Contestant. I knew from the start, including the silly theme tune by Harvey Scales, that this film was going to be bad, the actors seem to be taking it all seriously, even with the stupid script, it is a simple concept, a shark mutated and going on a killing spree, but of course the shark and bloody deaths are highly unconvincing due to the absurdly awful special effects, a waste of time and rubbish science-fiction action film. Poor!

I watched this knowing it was going to be bad. A giant shark that flies, swims and walks on land and fights a walking tank what else would you expect? What I was hoping was for something to laugh at. Instead what I got was a bad movie trying to lecture me about the evils of oil companies and even throw in a mean spirited dig at Sara Palin. My question to the makers of this claptrap is did you use wind or solar powered equipment to make this? If not then you were powered by oil you so despise. The only appreciation I can have is the irony of a bad movie that only accomplished wasting energy in being made. This movie crossed the line from bad to insufferable.

Another reviewer said it was not quite "laughably bad", just "bad bad". I disagree. It's so bad that it became a comedy, although admittedly that was not the intention of the writer or director.I also want to add that after seeing this movie, whenever you think low budget, this movie will forever be IT.Despite the horrendous acting from most, Sara Lieving and John Schneider actually do a good job. I am just kidding. The best actor is the shark.So, the next time you can't find a good comedy, just look up the other work of this movie's writer and director.
