More B-Movie Awesomeness!!

Anyone who knows me knows my enthusiasm for movies that are sooooo BAD they are AWESOME!! Such was the case with "Mega Shark vs. Giant Octopus", the instant B-movie CLASSIC starring Debbie Gibson and Lorenzo Lamas (how can you go WRONG!!) This Epic piece of cinematic genius featured the Mega Shark biting the Golden Gate bridge in half (right) and plucking a cruising jetliner out of the air at 30,000 feet!! Well, we coul be in for another duesy along the same lines...

LEGENDARY B-movie producer/director ROGER CORMAN is shedding a little more light on his upcoming made-for-the-SyFy-network masterpiece, "SHARKTOPUS".

Perhaps the most important info he parted with was this: Sharktopus will have TWO MOUTHS!!! Corman explains, "It has the shark's mouth at the front. An octopus, we did a little research on this, has of course the long tentacles. The tentacles grabs whatever it's after. It has a beak-like mouth, the tentacles bring the small creature, or in this case a large creature, to the beak like mouth, and it feeds itself that way."

Want to know more about Sharktopus??? OF COURSE YOU DO!!! He's actually created by the Navy to take on Somali pirates. He has implants in his brain so that he can be controlled . . . but obviously, something goes awry. Sharktopus is 40 feet long. His body is 10 to 12 feet, and his tentacles are 30 (I was kinda hoping for something a little bigger, frankly... something like is pictured left!)

By the way, before "Sharktopus" comes along, Corman has another masterpiece in the pipeline, called "Dinoshark". That one airs on SyFy next Saturday. What's next...?... OctoSaur?... Sharkasaurus Pus?
