There was a movie on the SyFy (formerly SciFi) channel this past Sunday, "Megashark v. Octopus". I wasn't expecting much but it definitely didn't meet expectations. I think it must have been released in theaters somewhere, because there were constant and obvious deletions of swearwords in the soundtrack. The octopus was big enough to wrap itself around and take down an oil drilling platform and the shark? It was shown as being able to leap high into the air and take down a passenger jet in flight! And it also apparently rammed and sank a destroyer.
It was a straight to video/dvd release. Ugh, it was awful. The using of the same shots over and over again when it was supposed to be the two beasts fighting at different times... someone screaming before the actual thing happened to send their plane down. :lol: Just all around bad. As for the creatures being big enough to do those things, well these were supposed to be creatures that existed back when the dinosaurs were around and things were bigger back then, but I didn't think they would have been quite THAT big. :lol:
There is actually, or rather was a shark called a Megladon whose jaw is supposedly big enough for five or more grown men to stand inside. They have a jawbone of one in some museum supposedly... and there was a picture in a magazine of men standing inside it to demonstrate how big it was. As for the leaping in the air, you'd think something that big wouldn't be able to do that. :lol: But then again, I'm not good at physics. :lol:
