For the DVD release of “Sharktopus,” Roger and Julie Corman have recorded a commentary track. Curious to know what they’ll say about the movie?
SyFy has sent over a sneak preview of the commentary on a pivotal scene from the film.
An eight-tentacled nightmare hybrid of shark and octopus, “S-11” was created by genetic scientist Nathan Sands (Eric Roberts) as the U.S. Navy’s next super-weapon. But when its control implants are damaged during a training experiment off the Mexican coast, the beast escapes to Puerto Vallarta to sample the local fare — bikini babes, jet-skiers, and spring-breakers. With the ocean terror now out of control and seemingly invincible, a ragtag group – comprised of a hotshot mercenary, an investigative reporter, and Sand’s biomechanical engineer daughter – have come together to stop the unholy beast from turning a seaside tourist resort into the ultimate human buffet.
But it won’t be easy: it possesses problem-solving intelligence, attacks without mercy or warning – it even has the ability to walk on land. Not to mention a decided affinity to snack on bungee jumpers… Kerem Bursin and Sara Malakul Lane co-star, with a hilarious cameo by Corman himself.
The movie hits DVD and Blu-Ray on March 15. (Clicking on the links above will allow you to order a copy and help Slice of SciFi at the same time!)
Ugh… The Sci Fi Channel Original movies have lost whatever credibility they might have had; if they were aware of the atrocities they were producing before, they sure weren’t making it obvious. Nowadays it seems very tongue in cheek, and that doesn’t hold up next to what it used to be: guys making movies ironically, transcendently awesome. But also kinda boring
