Mega Shark vs. Crocosaurus Trailers

When the prehistoric warm-water beast the Crocosaurus crosses paths with that cold-water monster the Mega Shark, all hell breaks loose in the oceans as the world's top scientists explore every option to halt the aquatic frenzy. Swallowing everything in their paths -- including a submarine or two -- Croc and Mega lead an explorer and an oceanographer on a wild chase. Eventually, the desperate men turn to a volcano for aid.

Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.

You often hear of movies that are so bad that they become good again. That was true for Megashark vs Giant Octopus, but its equally hammy-titled sequel, Megashark vs Crocosaurus, shows that even making a good bad movie still requires some talent. The first MvsGO was a bad B-movie of the amusing kind, thanks to the ultra low budget and the ensuing limitations in production that were more than a little visible in the finished movie. However, where MvsGI was endearing, MvsC is mostly boring and annoying. It shows that every idiot with a camera and Photoshop can make a creature feature, but that not every idiot should, especially when it doesn't provide half the fun of its predecessor. Like in my review for MvsGI, I have some helpful remarks for the makers:After a successful first movie, a higher budget is often reserved for the sequel. That usually allows for the improved production values that sequels are known for. The ship exteriors and interiors, for example, are appropriate improvements, and adding sound effects to suggests that the deck guns are actually firing is a good trick. But don't get carried away. After all, this is still an Asylum production, not Godzilla. Don't hint at epic things to come for the entire 90 minute duration without ultimately showing them, such as a huge megalodon destroying the Panama Canal, or a nuclear submarine blowing up inside the shark. Having your characters describe entire chunks of plot from the inside of a helicopter works fine for one or two scenes, not twelve. Show, don't tell - rule number one of visual storytelling. So don't recycle the same shot of dozens of baby crocodiles over and over if they aren't seen eating people, or when they barely feature in the climax.Having half the film taking place inside a helicopter or inside a badly-lit naval ship is a good way to save money for the scenes that count. So is using static pictures to photoshop the visual effects in, and recycling footage from other sources. But at least make sure that the few money shots count, and don't look like something that an 8-year-old could create on an iPad with Pixelmator Pro. Again, this is a sequel: it should look better than the original, not worse. You can't get away with cheaply recycling the same shots of monsters fighting over and over a second time.Creature features are the place to exaggerate a bit and stretch the limits of belief, but don't overdo it. A crocosaurus laying hundreds of eggs spread out over five locations all around the ocean while it is being actively hunted by both the navy and a killer shark is where it gets from improbable to slightly ridiculous. And an 8-yard baby crocodile won't fit inside a 12-feet egg.Running jokes are good. After all, a creature feature is to be taken lightly, so bringing some levity is a good idea. However, putting in a character who wants 10% of the cut, and repeating that every minute until he dies is stretching it. Casting Robert Picardo is a stroke of genius. Many ex-StarTrek actors had a hard time adjusting to post-Trek life, but that Picardo had to resort to this type of schlock is quite unique. Very good to put him at the end of the cast list in the opening credits, billed as "and Robert Picardo" for extra emphasis. However, point deduction for not having him reference the Doctor from Voyager with an apt quote, like "I am an admiral, not a sharkhunter!"Talking about actors: with one famous face on board, you can relax a bit when casting the other roles. But be critical. No one expects Oscar contenders, but there must be young actors in school plays who are better in playing an alternatively manic and grieving scientist than Jaleel White. And was Gary Stretch trying to parody the tough Ozzie bushwalking macho man, or was that his best effort in playing one? Hard to tell.Since this movie is meant to resemble a testosterone-type of action movie, it is quite acceptable to cast pretty actresses, even if their presence seems little more than eye candy. But if you cast Hannah Cowley and Nicola Lambo, and kill them off early on as a shock surprise, please do this AFTER their obligatory bikini or underwear scene. If you don't, it suggests that you actually hired them for their talent instead of how they look, and that gives off the wrong message. That's fine when you're making a serious movie, not when you're doing MvsC. Sarah Lieving playing a Special Agent in a tank top is a good example of how it should be.Please remember that every movie is written three times: first in screenplay, then on film, and then in the editing room. If the first two are a bit lacking, some sharp editing can often save a lot of scenes, but don't bother if half of your scenes haven't been scripted nor filmed. It's nice that the shark and croc get around, from beaches to jungles to civilization, but glueing their scenes together into one big disjointed mess is not a hallmark of good storytelling. A bit of spatial awareness and continuity helps the audience's appreciation of a movie. Unless the creatures and humans can magically teleport anywhere. Hey, here's an idea for another sequel!Ask Jason Blum for advice. The man produced some of the most acclaimed movies of the past decade, usually for less than $10 million. Asylum is known for 'borrowing' ideas from other studios, so why not get the secret of the low-budget trade from him?

The low-budget Mega Shark movie franchise started before the Sharknado series, the first film was abysmal, but the following year the creators brought us another helping of the nonsense. Basically deep in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, an illegal diamond mining operation is interrupted when a giant 150 foot (46 m) prehistoric crocodile is awoken. Meanwhile in Atlantic Ocean, the giant Megalodon shark has survived the giant octopus fight, and attacks and sinks the US Navy warship USS Gibson. Lt. Terry McCormick (Jaleel White) is the only survivor of the attack, he was experimenting with a sonic shark-repellent device, while in the Congo, English hunter Nigel Putnam (Gary Stretch) has captured and tranquilised the giant crocodile. In Los Angeles, California, McCormick is interrogated by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Special Agent Hutchinson (Sarah Lieving), McCormick feels guilty that he lured the shark, he offers to help to catch it. Meanwhile the crocodile is being carried on a cargo ship, it is revealed that it is carrying the crocodile's eggs as well, without warning the shark attacks the ship, waking the crocodile, Putnam and his partner Jean (Gerald Webb) jump overboard before the ship is destroyed. Onboard aircraft carrier USS Lexington, McCormick meets Admiral Calvin (Star Trek: Voyager's Robert Picardo), he tells of the objective the hunt down and destroy the Megalodon, while Hutchinson meets Putnam, she is shocked to find out about a giant crocodile on the loose as well. They then discover the location of some crocodile eggs, Calvin assigns McCormick to accompany Hutchinson and Putnam and capture an egg, which are about to hatch, but a shark fin is spotted close to the island, an airstrike takes place. As the team leave the island, the crocodile is angered by the shark swallowing its eggs, while missiles are fired at those eggs remaining in the cave, the crocodile attacks Miami, before an arc flash fire sends the creature back into the sea. Putnam suggest opening an egg to find out the crocodile's vulnerabilities, one egg is aboard the submarine USNS Invincible, while two are being taken by Black Hawk helicopters, but the shark is attracted to them, and attacks these crafts. With no trap big enough to capture both creatures, a retrieval plan to use more crocodile eggs is devised, these are dropped in Panama Canal, both creatures are lured by them, where they battle each other, while the Navy attack, the chaos causes a tidal wave to destroy Panama Canal as both creatures continue to fight. It is revealed the crocodile has adapted itself to lay more eggs, hundreds more are laid on the American coastline, hatchlings are attacking Santa Monica pier, while the two giant creatures are heading towards Hawaii. A nuclear submarine misses with a missile attack, and is swallowed by the shark, the creature is now a bigger threat, as it has a nuclear reactor inside, while the crocodile attacks the helicopter carrying McCormick, Putnam and Hutchinson, they survive the crash, but Hutchinson is unconscious. McCormick and Putnam will use the sonic emitter as part of a new plan, to lure both creatures to an undersea volcanic range, both adult creatures are lured and fight each other, while the crocodile hatchlings come to assist their mother. Hutchinson recovers and picks up McCormick and Putnam, as the volcano explodes and detonates the nuclear reactor inside the shark, the combined blast kills both the adult and juvenile creatures, the charred shark and crocodile are still latched onto each other as their bodies sink into the volcano. Also starring Dylan Vox as CWO Butowski and Hannah Cowley as Legatt. There may be one or two faces I recognised in the cast, more than previously, but it doesn't matter, and there were more special effects to bring the giant shark and crocosaurus to life, but as before, they are awful, as is the story and the concept, another waste of time science-fiction horror. Poor!

Mega Shark vs. Crocosaurus (2010) is a monster film premiered on Channel Syfy December 21, 2010, a sequel of Mega Shark vs. Giant Octopus. This movie is very silly, bad acting, terrible CGI, stiff characters, silly plot ..... The advantages of this movie is on the battle of the giant sharks against a giant crocodile with cheap CGI wrapped.

Previously, "Mega Shark vs Giant Octopus" (2009) ended with the prehistoric creatures fighting their way into a murky abyss. We did not know the outcome of their epic battle. In this sequel, it can be confirmed that "Mega Shark" survived. The giant shark re-surfaces to cause trouble for seafaring humans. Heading up the "Mega" team is shark expert Jaleel White (as Terry McCormick). Meanwhile, in the Republic of Congo, diamond hunters awaken a giant crocodile (as "Crocosaurus"). This prehistoric monster is also angry and destructive. Crocodile hunter Gary Stretch (as Nigel Putnam) thinks "Crocosaurus" was just trying to protect her eggs from "Mega Shark"... The two men reluctantly team-up, under the guidance of attractive elite US military commander Sarah Lieving (as Special Agent Hutchinson). She barks her lines for director Christopher Ray and displays an incredibly tight top. Formerly the high-pitched "Urkel" on the 1990s "Family Matters" TV sitcom, Mr. White appears like a fish out of water. One improvement is a touch of humor added in Mr. Stretch's performance. We see more of the monsters, but end up wanting less. From script to editing, this movie makes no sense.* Mega Shark vs Crocosaurus (12/21/10) Christopher Ray ~ Jaleel White, Gary Stretch, Sarah Lieving, Robert Picardo
